Hi, sorry if these have been asked/answered before elsewhere, but i did a quick search and couldn't see anything.

Deff Dreads come with two Dread CCWs as standard, and can have up to 4, that's easy. Can you replace all it's CCWs with ranged weapons and have say 4 skorchas or two big shootas and two rokkit launchas? If so, does this mean the deff dread has only 1 attack in close combat +1 for charging?

Can Deff Dreads run in the shooting phase instead of shooting?

Can Deff Dreads , move, run and then assault on the turn "Power of the Waaagh" is called?

thanks

It's not listed as an option in their army list entry, so no.

Walkers can run. Rulebook, page 72.

Waaagh! only affects Infantry.

Ok, so long as they can run that's the main one I was after, thanks!

In assault, does a Deff Dread with two CCWs and two ranged weapons get it's basic 3 Attacks, +1 for having two CCW's, +1 for charging, so 5 attacks, OR 3 basic attacks +1 for charging so 4 attacks?

Walkers get the same extra weapon bonus as everyone else.

Attack bonuses for weapons are not included in the profile unless it specifically says as much in the unit's special rules.

But Insaniak, the Deff Dread's entry states "Two dreadnought close combat weapons (each additional dreadnought close combat weapon adds +1 to the Dread's Attacks)"

That to me seems to suggest that the two dread close combat weapons entitle the dread to the attacks on his profile.

Then again, I do see how it could go both ways in this situation.

That's because without that rule a dredd with 4 CCW arms would have the same number of attacks as a dredd with 2, as the normal rules state that you only ever get +1 for an extra CCW, regardless of how many weapons the model actually has.

So the dredd has its profile. It has two CCWs, so it gets +1 attack. If you add an additional CCW, it gets another +1.

So:
2 DCCWs = 5 attacks on assault
3 DCCWs = 6 attacks on assault
4 DCCWs = 7 attacks on assault

That right, insaniak?

Are you sure about this? I do not have my rule book close at hand but I think the extra attacks for additional close combat weapons are always covered in the Walker entry but not in the basic rules. I might be wrong though.

According to the Ork FAQ a Deff Dredd with 3 DCCW gets 4 attacks and a Deff Dredd with 4 DCCW gets 5 attacks.
