The Scorpion Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Besides the ubiquitous lighting with kraken missiles, I'd reccomend a dreadnought in pod with a chainfist of sorts. The leviathan's comes with in-built meltagun at that.

Lautrec the Embraced Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I could be wrong here Aztek but I don't believe you're right about those cover saves on dreads. Dreadnoughts do not get 'Legiones Astartes' rule - therefore they do not have 'Talent for Murder' and 'From the shadows'. An exception here is Night Vision as it specifies all models in the detachment so they get it as well. So sadly, no 5+ innate cover save for cortus or lev. Best you will have is Shrouded+maybe Stealth so 4+ tops...same as your 4++ inv though on Leviathan. I think the list is fine but overall I agree with Rhynos - Terror Assault is not meant to take out heavy vehicles. It can try to but it's very restrictive and frankly I would just probably drop it if were certain about facing really heavily mechanized lists.

Thanks for that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365786-night-lords-terror-assault-3k/page/2/#findComment-5585676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhynos Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I had the same mis-interpretation when I started out with the cover saves. Your best bet to get the most out of your dread in drop pod would be (if possible) disembark behind cover or another vehicle. That way you can benefit from a cover save and shrouded rule.

The Scorpion Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 None of the NL rites of war are optimized against heavy armor, save for perhaps the new "Cross of bone", and only then because of the lack of restrictions. Take your anti armor in the form of chainfists, melta bombs, and flyers.
