Thanks, ill bear all these excellent points in mind when I do the next for e. all the models are built already. :D<br /><br />Only one I could exchange is one melta dread to a plasma cannon. If I can organise w cyclone for squad 1 I will, but I'm not sure how it'll look on he models.<br /><br />Anyone have a spare?krom_stormbrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893139085035966782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001788237644262494.post-79948051586109201002013-02-06T21:52:46.120+00:002013-02-06T21:52:46.120+00:00With your last comment in mind, and given that the...With your last comment in mind, and given that there is a possibility of amending models, my thoughts are to drop extra armour from the dreads and add Wolf Claws where you had power swords. <br /><br />My own experiences with 6th are that if you want a strength boost, it may as well be a power fist to make sure, and if you want to wound on regular strength, make sure you get a re-roll.<br /><br />There is no gain to wound allocation anymore, just buy a grunt version (perhaps this one leave with an axe/sword) and have hi stand forward. Until he dies, he's your focus for positioning.<br /><br />Like you said, the dreadnoughts wont last so extra armour is 15 points of hopes and dreams that won't keep you around that much longer. Remember that weapon stripping is now random, so your opponent isn't necessarily going to get his first choice if that result comes up. Just pointing this one out in case you had over looked it. <br /><br />To tackle fliers you don't really want to rely on one shot melta. In the main, a few plasma shots will give you a better chance. Furthermore, Plasmas combined with a fully dropping army will give you a better chance of side/rear armour shots which a plasma gun will usually work ok with. Plasma also means more shots when it comes to shooting marines or lesser infantry, and you do need to factor in that a small army has always struggled against weight of numbers.<br /><br />Again with the fliers, perhaps a TL Lascannon on at least one dread may be a good idea. Sure it isn't as punchy verses Landraiders, but a) you, Tim and I aside, I've never seen that many people use more than one in a regular game. b) a lascannon can still penetrate AV14 and c) it gives you a better chance of hitting, especially given 6s are needed to hit a flier.<br /><br />You may benefit from adding a ranged weapon (possibly a cyclone) to squad 1. You can't charge on the turn the drop dop arrives, so a ranged weapon shall allow you to do something other than run. You can also obviously use it and still charge and it gives you yet more anti armour, and a bit of anti horde should you need it.<br /><br />Just some thoughts to consider there. I appreciate that some models have been started and you won't want to tear them apart (one example of super glue is better than poly cement - dodgy kidneys FTW!) and also that 1500 does limit options somewhat as you just can't pack everything in.Brax Jaxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005004551724088431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001788237644262494.post-3415677300296220512013-02-05T09:19:18.303+00:002013-02-05T09:19:18.303+00:00The dreads will be more of a shock tactic, from al...The dreads will be more of a shock tactic, from all accounts, dreads have been nerfed in 6th edition due to the revised vehicle rules. SO I think they'll shock people, but they drop quickly.<br /><br />And not rolling 1s is the name of a wing list...krom_stormbrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893139085035966782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001788237644262494.post-26994001767754223352013-02-05T09:17:48.108+00:002013-02-05T09:17:48.108+00:00Sounds the same as me, however I'm rubbish at ...Sounds the same as me, however I'm rubbish at posting pics and getting the paint down.<br /><br />You guys got anymore UK warhammer world trips planned?krom_stormbrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893139085035966782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001788237644262494.post-9754779734259783392013-02-04T22:23:35.778+00:002013-02-04T22:23:35.778+00:00I reckon its a good list the drop podding dreds wi...I reckon its a good list the drop podding dreds will be nasty.
