CCE1981 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Quick question how does the Venerable Dreadnought with Blizzard Shield and Fenrisian Great Axe stack up in 8th edition?

Gherrick Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'll be running one pretty soon, and have fairly high hopes for it. The 3++ should increase its survivability pretty well, and its attacks are also pretty solid. One major downside is it doesn't have any ranged attacks, as IMO that translates into a much better target to charge with impunity (no overwatch).

Brutallica Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) For 145 points, he is sooooo strong, move, advance and pop smoke. He 3++ guarding T7 with 10 wounds, is really tanky, hits harder than murderfang and are tankier. There is no reason NOT to take him. Only success with him.

TheWolfLord Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's great. I faced a 3 Knight list and turn 1 he tanked shooting from 2 Knights. He spent 3 fight phases trading blows with a FW Knight Atropos that was dropping in and out of combat to shoot. I had to use command points to reroll saves when needed but it was very frustrating for my opponent. The Knight took him down to 1 wound. He took the Knight down to 3 wounds and my opponent made over half of his 5++ saves. Unfortunately when the Knight was destroyed it exploded and the mortal wounds destroyed my hero Dreadnought.

Gemini Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'd trade 145 points to eliminate a knight titan all day long...

PeteySödes Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Im super biased as I've always loved dreads but it's probably my favorite unit we have. The psychological warfare you can wage with them is super great. At this point my opponents shoot it so much that most my units can operate uninhibited. Just watch out for mass damage 2 like rad rounds because so far its the 1,000 scratches that brings it down rather than the dedicated anti armor.

Brother Hellion Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 For 145 points, he is sooooo strong, move, advance and pop smoke. He 3++ guarding T7 with 10 wounds, is really tanky, hits harder than murderfang and are tankier. There is no reason NOT to take him. Only success with him. All that and only 145 points? I gotta make mine asap.
