^Chaos Dreadclaw

just like others mentioned. they were pre-heresy drop pods but their machine spirits went off during the heresy, so the loyalists ditched them. the traitors kept them, but do not have the infrastructure to use them to the degree space marines can their drop pods. Plus, they usually invade in a more brutal and direct fashion, with massive landers instead of surgical strikes. they have plenty of cultist and traitor guardsman support, as well as traitor ships directly under their command, so they have the numbers and the means to simply invade worlds wholesale,

So they have them but cant use them because during the HH some ass hat lost the instruction manual and no one knows how to use it, +They have the warp to travel through.

HOWEVER im assuming they have chaos thunderhawks, and thats how the get troops from ship to ship or ship to ground when not useing the warp.

On question 2, I was so disappointed that they didn't put the Dreadclaw in C:CSM and make a plastic kit for it.

Even without drop pod assault and taking up a FA slot, if they at least gave it inertial stabilizers, they'd have sold a metric gak-ton of those fethers.

I would imagine the Harlequins are the go-between for the Eldar/Dark Eldar. Both armies use them, and they come from both, so it would stand to reason they would be a mediator.

Same reason they gave the Nids a drop pod and never made a model. They are fething incompetent.

They would have made millions if it was a release with the new codex.

Still waiting...

I don't know if this means much, but I can't find the dreadclaw model on forgeworld anymore except in epic. Unless they moved it somewhere else in forgeworld because I can't find it. Even searched through products not there. Though this could mean their moving it to GW which would be cool.

I wish they had put the dreadclaw in the CSM codex that would have been a lot of fun.

FW is either replacing the Dreadclaw's mould(they do wear out after a while) or they are coming out with a new sculpt. Or maybe a conversion kit for the GW pod to make it a Dreadclaw.

Either way is fine. I just want to get one, but having it on GW would be cheaper (I think) and it still would have been nice to have seen it in the CSM codex.

True, it would have been nice.

Try and get your group to allow Forge World. Its legal in normal play as far as GW is concerned.

That is not going to be hard considering my group is my dad, brother, and one friend who plays. Live in the middle of Iowa, USA. Not going to be hard to find others who play the problem is are they close enough for it to work well.

Back on topic to point one while the Edlar and Dark Eldar don't like each other very much (just my impression) they will fight together without to many problems.
