Sorry this isnt exactly a rules question

but what Blood Angels Dreadnought vehicle has the effect that when it kills something it gets more attacks, and keeps essentially going forever

The bloodfist upgrade.

Close but no cigar.

The bloodfist acts like a DCCW. The Blood Talons act like Lightning Claws and for every unsaved wound they deal, you get an extra attack

Blood Talons get rerolls to wound?That's even more awesome!

damn that seems OP

Is this thing at least a lot of points? like 200 or so?

A Furioso Dreadnought costs 125 points, comes with 2x Bloodfists with built-in stormbolter/meltagun. These fists can be replaced for free by 2x Blood Talons and retain the built-in weapons.

The Death Company Dread comes with the same options and cost, but has other stats and rules.

wow...
Sometimes I hate this game

but thanks you


Im going back to playing my Eldars

Remember, the Blood-Talon-armed Dreadnought is only Str. 6 though. Str. 7 if they succumb to the Red Thirst or are a DC Dread.

As well you need a pair. So if you suffer one weapon destroyed result they no longer keep rolling extra attacks.

Or if they are within 6" of a priest when they make their attacks, having charged

Tack on the Armor 13 front and you have a seriously dangrous model.

Yeah my bad, shooting from the hip on that answer. Forgot how everything blood angels has blood in front of everything.

Can't you only deal CC damage out to models in base contact and also within 2"?

Nope, you can kill any model from a unit in CC.

Only models in B2B or within 2" of a model in B2B may attack. But, wounds are allocated as normal and can kill models outside the 2".

On that note, just bought two of these bad boyz ^_^ Wish I could fit them both on my Stormraven.

Do what DeathReaper does. Pay for 2 StormRavens... bastage...

Full of awesome, this is.

It's what I'm doing for 'ard Boyz. 2 Stormravens, each with a DC dread, and a podding Furioso with Frag Cannon and Heavy Flamer. Can't wait

but see thats the real issue with the Blood Talons. They're sickening in CC...if you can get there. and any squad that's gonna let you get into CC with those is gonna be able to take on a dread. and since the only way to catch faster moving things (the sort you'd wanna kill with those talons, like gaunts or such) is to get it a storm raven, you've essentially got 350 or so points put into killing a squad of guants. that's the weakness in the unit.

Sometimes you have no choice but to get into CC with the dread, moving 12 on a Stormraven, disembarking, and being able to assault is something you can not help at times.

and sometimes it helps to have 2 Stormravens, in case one gets shot up.

Stormravens have an anti-tank or anti-infantry role as well, depending on what guns you take. so that "350 or so points" is more than just a transport, it can hold 6 terminators in it as well.

Nasty one two three punch right there.
