No Deredeo Pattern Dread for us?

Recommended Posts

So just taking a quick look over the Deredeo pattern experimental rules on forgeworld.

 

Seems like a failry decent firebase dread, with the option of skyfire/interceptor each turn.

 

However, only codex marines, dark angels, and blood angels get access.

 

 

 

Is there any actual reason for this?

Is this maybe down to the 'relic of the armoury' rule no longer even making sense for us (as we cant take a rune priest with SotBS which is what is listed on other relic vehicles)?

Maybe just an oversight?

Or they just dont want wolves having them?

 

Would have actually been interested in one of these for an all dread list...but....booooo rules!!

Out of interest did we get any changes to our 'relic of the armoury' ruling recently? (not up to date on the FW side of FAQs)

Last I heard was that we just need a rune priest to open up relics of the armoury.  No need for a saga.  I believe that was in an email response to a player's question, not an official FAQ.

Indeed. It was just an email saying that you can take just an RP. Nothing official yet.

I asked a FW rep over the phone the other day. He said that there's no plans to give us access to the Derry, and there's no plans for alternate types of Derry either (e.g. non mortis load outs).

 

Incidentally he said they're working on a rules update for (amongst other things) IA11, but that it will be at least a couple of months away because everyone's busy with other big projects (guessing HH book 5?). It will likely be a PDF update (like the badab characters one).

because some trickle-wit in the rules department hates Space Wolves.

I'm really starting to think it's this. While a good book, IA2:v2 did leave something of a bad taste in my mouth. Not only do we not get the Mortis, they didn't bother including the BA/SW Contemptors in the book, leaving them in IAA 2013 (making them the only unit form that book not included in the newer volume). The getting snubbed with the Daredo. It's enough to make a Wolf break out the tinfoil ph34r.png.

We of the Dark Angel persuasion will move over and loan you our tinfoil... Of course we have been in here with chaos for 15 years or so, so it might be smelly in here.

Hopefully our access to the Deredeo changes over time.  I'd love to have some for my army, one to three, still figuring that out now.

 

As it is, if they don't, then I say we email campaign:  we can even end up writing our own fluff as to how a Long Fang from a pack is chosen to eventually make their way into one and help turn the tide in a battle with their skill of long arms as opposed to skill of arms, as it were!

 

Anyone else feeling like writing some fluff for the big FW if they need it?

I actually e-mailed them already since i was curious about why almost all basic marine chapters had access to it but not wolves. Never made sense that just because we only kept the worst of the worst wolves in contemptors that we didn't have access to them all. Is FW trying to tell me that no big bad wolf would kill people with his heavy weapons more than his axe?

I'm for the email campaign! Send in the Wolf Scouts to blow up their escape routes & plant hunter kill prog's in their cogitators! Muster our GH's & our Storm Grrs to follow up the Claws of Russ & lets storm their ForgeWorld & show them the Sons of Russ are worthy & bloody well be respected. And if not lets take them as trophies anyways & put them to the use they were intended for! We recover lost Imperial Navy's ships & keep them, why stop there?

 

OK. Maybe a bit melodramtic but heh. It's like all things Mortis pattern. NOT for Wolves. Built into their STC or something. On the bright side, they are experimental rules so who knows. But I think we have a better chance of seeing a Relic Contemptor Dread all wolfed up with Great Axe, Blizzard shield & Cyclone as one of our HH kits.(I can dream can't I????)

Another dread denied to us?  I am eternally grateful that our normal dreads have become much more useful this codex (I ran two last game and won, and three the game before and won) but I love dreads.  I love the contemptor.  But when i heard we got a bush league version, i couldn't bring myself to buy.  /puts on tinfoil hat.  I'll just wait here.
