bushman101 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) For giggles, I took a Dreadnought heavy list in my last match. (I was gonna do 'all Primaris', but I lack the amount of models) I was actually surprised how well I did. They have decent Toughness, do well in shooting and melee and don't lose effectiveness as they take wounds (unlike the Razorback and etc). I'm not advocating 'take nothing but dreads', because they can auto-lose some scenarios. But Dreads, i think, are worth consideration. My list was based on the Dreads I had, so its far from 'optimized'. For the curious, it looked like: 2000 pts 2 of the Elite detachments (whatever its called) 2 Libby Dreads 3 DC Dreads with 2 Furioso fists, storm bolter and melta 1 Furioso with 2 Furioso fists, storm bolter and melta 1 Dread with regular fist, storm bolter and twin lascannon Assault Termis (2 models with claws, 3 with TH/SS) Stormraven (typhoon missles, stormstrike missles, twin lascannon) Edited October 21, 2017 by bushman101 Riot Earp 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340626-fun-with-dread-spam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_b Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Wow, wish I could have seen that battle. I have an old metal dreadnought and an on-sprue dc/lib/furioso dreadnought. I was considering making the metal one a furioso with fists, and then making a librarian one. Hopefully I can pick some others up on the cheap from e-bay. I love dreads and the ideas. Unfortunately the only one I've run in 8th died to massed melta fire the first turn from some tau jump suit thingies.

Jolemai Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Did you win? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340626-fun-with-dread-spam/#findComment-4913861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman101 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes, a rare win vs his DA. He had problems with the amount of models i had with high Toughness and i faired better in melee. It also helped that i made the Fireraptor a priority target because that thing can really dish out some damage Brother Aether 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340626-fun-with-dread-spam/#findComment-4914199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Dread spam can work fairly well if the opponent isn't prepared to deal with so many high T models or if you get rid of his main anti-tank units quickly. I too lost a game pretty hopelessly against a Tank spam AM list a few weeks ago simply because I couldn't deal with all the T8 after my main anti-tank unit got killed.

bushman101 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 If i was to do this list again, i would opt more more balance. Maybe: Libby dread Captain 4 DC dreads 2 'normal' dreads 2 Scout units with shotguns or bolters Stormraven +whatever fits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340626-fun-with-dread-spam/#findComment-4915082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
