Hey guys, just a quick question here

Lets say i have 2 CSM dreads. the crazy kind obviously, being elites, i cannot deploy these before the game, so they walk on in turn 1. Lets say, at the beginning of the turn, i roll a 6 and 1 for my dreadnoughts. What happens ?

The way me and my friends have played it is that the dreadnought that has a fire frenzy, because at the start of the turn it is not on the table, is unable to shoot anything- in the CSM codex it states if the dread cannot shoot (no ranged weaps, ranged weaps blown off etc) then treat this as a 2-5 sane result- which is what we have done. The other dreadnought, depending on where it entered the field, would still move/run/charge the nearest enemy, just that the nearest enemy is based on where the chaos player places the dread.

So is this right dakka? or are we doing it wrong? cheers in advance

"If a unit has a special rule forcing it to move in a specific direction (such as 'rage', for example) or that could stop it from moving, the rule is ignored in the phase when it arrives from Reserve." -BGB, p94.

In short, you simply don't roll for the CSM Dreadnought's "Crazed!" rule on the turn they come in

Yup, you simply do not roll on the crazed table.

classic. I think i'm going to have to take the BGB to bed for reading material to stop having to ask such silly questions on dakka

cheers
