Xenith Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If you could use it in the BA Rite of War I'd probably buy one...... But you can't - only Sanguinius or Flyer LoW allowed! For good reason, it goes totally against the theme of the Day of Revelations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well it doesn't for my Day of Revelation Siege Company :P ! Nah it totally does for the traditional DoR, if anything I'd consider it for my DA Ironwing when I get around to them. Transporting a couple of Contemptor Cortus with Tank Hunters sounds like a BLAAAAAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 While its safe to assume any sane person who wants to have a group to play with wouldnt pull this, I'm not seeing your raw interpretation. -Mastodon has 40 transport capacity and is a super-heavy that can therefore carry multiple units as long as they respect transport capacity. -Even as a super-heavy transport, it doesnt have the baseline ability to transport dreads. The "also" part would therefore give it the ability to do so. -Each dread counts as 10 models when embarked into a Mastodon. -Once a dread is embarked into a Mastodon, reduce remaining transport capacity by 10 per dread.

Charlo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm with Slips here, the "also" would be a sound RaW argument if it didn't also list them taking up a capacity of 10. Logic dictates that if you have forty guys, sure it could also transport dreads but it has no capacity left for them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with your interpretation of the rule, however I'm also going to point to the entry for the stormraven as an example of exactly how it should be laid out.

CaptainHelion Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 My reading of it was that it has 40 slots. You can take up to two Dreads, each taking 10 slots. So if you took two Dreads, you would have 20 slots remaining for infantry of various sorts. Charlo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) In other news I had a game against SM+Eldar the other night (my list here). It did not go well. - Libby Dread rolled 6's when trying to manifest his very first power, so got Perils, then rolled a 1 on the table (sucked into the Warp!), then 6's again for Leadership. I wonder where he is now... - Fragioso failed his reserve roll on turn 2 AND turn 3. - Cassor did take out a whole grav bike squad + MM attack bike, but then being down to 1 HP got taken out by a scout squad after charging them and rolling 1's on his attacks. - Opponent counter-deployed against my DC leaving them waaay away from anything to attack – didn't get into combat till turn 3 or 4. - Gerantius didn't lose a single HP all game, and took out a Hammernator unit but they tied him up for too many turns and I rolled poorly for his shooting and scatter. - Deredeo managed to get the formation of three Eldar Crimson Hunders to Jink for a couple of turns but didn't destroy any, so after he got toasted they just flew around shooting the rest of my army with AP2 guns. He got First Blood for Cassor's pod, Slay the Warlord at the very end, Linebreaker, a bunch of objectives and 1 VP for destroying the Deredeo (Big Guns Never Tire). I just got Linebreaker and 1 VP for destroying an HS unit. 13-2 The dice gods were not with me Edited August 26, 2016 by LutherMax Chaplain Gunzhard and Damon Nightman 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ouch. A rough game from the sounds of it. Not much you can do when the dice are so against you, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Yeah I had a really bad run of luck – hopefully now my karma has been reset! In fairness to my opponent he made some excellent tactical choices with deployment and splitting up his force into MSU to over-run the board (combat squads, splitting off all his IC's etc). Target saturation! Edited August 26, 2016 by LutherMax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well, they say you learn more from a loss than a win, so perhaps, with reset dice-karma, you'll be the one trouncing people soon! Or not. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ah, the Mastodon. My first will be in red and designated March of the Fire Ants.

Riot Earp Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ah, the Mastodon. My first will be in red and designated March of the Fire Ants.

Damon Nightman Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 It would indirectly earn its points back by possibly eating tons of fire and delivering 40 dudes to the perfect spot to win the battle?

Arkangilos Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 So, in a flesh tearer story, they send boarding torpedoes full of death company into a civilian ship to kill an inquisitor. I pictured that, but on a planet, and into a building full of cultists... And by my Sanguinary Crusaders... And I really want it. This would be for nothing other than death company for me, though.
