Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Wasn't there a way to do this back in 5th edition as well?? When DC were troops and you took two of them along side the Libby dread and filled the rest with Fragiosos?? I can only imagine how awesome the army would look on the table, and how fun it would be to play it!! End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I am reluctant to encourage a fellow Badab Secessionist to abandon the fight. Hail Mantis Warriors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartali Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 You can run all dreads with the Archangels force org from the same book Not quite. HQs are TDA only, which means you'll probably want to run at least one squad of Terminators to put him in. Also cuts off access to Librarian Dreads too sadly.

DC Dreads were troops, but you needed at least five DC for each DC Dread you took. So it was ALMOST all Walkers, but not quite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 In the meanwhile i get 2 Libby Dreads 2 Fragiosos 2 Blood Angel Contemptors with Kheres Assault cannons (thank you betrayal of calth) 1 Cassor the Damned 1 Tactical with Razorback and one Deredeo dread in my 1850 list. Most of them with pods except the deredeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'm running on two libbys, a fragioso, a black reach, a furioso and contemptor. Really considering a leviathan too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The Leviathans look like normal dreads should look. Great Rules but realy expensive. Maybe i get one when my painting queue is finished in three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartali Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Is anyone playing their all Dread lists in Maelstrom missions ? I'm tempted, but worried about the lack of mobility mid to late game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 My strategy is to pod on the malstrom missions and wipe out the OS-t roops or other mission threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just given me an idea.... I see darkness – black beyond black – and some hard highlights picking out the hull of this monster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Did you not have problems with hull point stripping by Gauss weapons against Necrons? And don't forget that Scarabs munch through armour too on a 6 with a bunch of attacks. My regular gaming buddy runs a full-fat Decurion and I struggle to put up a fight with my Destroyer-toting Eldar. I am pretty sure my BAs would be eaten for breakfast.

Charlo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Things like scarabs getting a free wound on a 6 is why I hate this game sometimes... Good job on that though Luther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on that though Luther When they were first released, each scarab would lower the AV of the vehicle facing it was latched on to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The scariest thing about them is they Move Through Cover - there was no escape for my Sicaran even moving flat out! It makes sense though - I can imagine this ceaseless moving carpet of mechanical bugs swarming and munching through everything in their path... Kinda like the spider things in Uncharted *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardsman1275 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Still thinking of an all walkers list, with the deathwing FOC you can take up to 12 dreadnoughts in drop pods, but your HQ cannot be a dreadnought unfortunatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It's okay, terminators are Tactical Dreadnought Armour :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zefig Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I believe one of the Space Wolf detachments could fill this out in higher point games too, with Murderfang as HQ and dreads in all the elites slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
