Jolemai Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Pfft, this means it's possible for a DCD to get eight attacks when the stars align during a charge whilst running Strike Force Mortalis!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Pfft, this means it's possible for a DCD to get eight attacks when the stars align during a charge whilst running Strike Force Mortalis!! actually 9 no? 5 base + 2 DCCW + Rage + Fury of the Forlorn...

Damon Nightman Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Wouldn't it be 7 for the DC? Edit: nvm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Wouldn't it be 7 for the DC? Death Company Dreads have 3 base attacks. so +2 would be 5 and then they have a pair of blood talons or power fists which gives them 2 melee weapons for +1 attack, Rage +2 would = 8 and then Fury of the Forlorn would = 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedemptionNL Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 And don't forget Quickened Librarian Dreads, they get right up there with 7-9 Force weapon attacks on the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 And don't forget Quickened Librarian Dreads, they get right up there with 7-9 Force weapon attacks on the charge. Shouldn't it be 8-10 if the dread attacks with the force halberd? 2 base +2 houserule +1 two melee weapons +1 charge +1 furious charge + d3 Quickening = 8-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlangWhanger Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Possible to use Quickening on Cassor as a character? If so, that's a lot of death... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-soul Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Am I the only one who sad? Generally speaking - I had a couple of games when I had an approval to have a 4 attack base on my Death dread... so I don't need GW approval for houseruling (not to mention it's written in rulebook) And what happens when I'l take all my 5 dreads, take librarians, tell my friend what they do? He will _ me off. How is that conceptually different from - I want my Dante/Seth to have an orbital strike - they are Chapter masters why wouldn't they? But that is ridiculous and unfair. Game already have that many controversal themes - why multiplying this? If they want +2 attack - why not errate this? If they don't - why suggesting contrary? Not to mention how lame it sounded that they couldn't update other codicies - Space wolves tablet enhanced wulfen edition came out after 9 (!) month and it's digital - still no updates for their dreads. They better not to include that Designer's note and leave as it is (2 attack per codex), saving right answer for updated versions. Or made a propper Errata (including hellbrutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 An actual errata rather than a weird semi official houserule would've been nice, but at least GW is trying again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiasco Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Am I the only one who sad? In answer to that question, I'll just copy what I wrote on the rumors/announcement forum: "...these remain the official characteristics until such a time as they are updated." Sooooo, if you play those factions, :cuss you for the next 4-5 years, right? Play it with extra attacks if your opponent lets you? Fine, but why stop there? Just go all out and play a fan made codex. In fact, why buy any GW products at all? Use fan made everything for your games. Army Men Astra Militarum here I come. These anti consumer policies are starting to really hit a nerve.

Yesterday your dreadnoughts were 2 attacks, period. Today unless your opponent is totally unreasonable you can use the "Roused to War" rule. I don't see any reason to go negative at this point and "4-5 years" is hardly the trend of Codex releases we've seen as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 So the Space Wolves Codex FAQ is out (Don't stop reading this is relevant). One of the last points in the errata relates to their dreads and ours. It states that attacks remain at 2... But suggests an in house ruling update that brings attacks up to 4 to match Dark Angles and codex Space Marines. Apparently they felt dreadnoughts weren't pulling their weight so increased attacks from 2 to 4 after codex BA and Codex SW were published. So basically they won't change the stats, but back the idea that gaming clubs should allow players to negotiate it upto 4 for the sake of parity and common sense. Thought that was worth sharing.
