The question is the title haha that's all I need to know are they fearless?

If they arnt in my opinion nothing else in the game deserves to be fearless.

They Shall Know, No Fear.

It's better.

I know what that is, not really because they still break, and they can possibly still run far enough to run off the board if there close enough. So it's not fearless? Honestly it's sole purpose is to hunt down and slay greater daemons and it's not fearless, that is effed the eff up! Haha well if it is not fearless then neither then no other unit is worthy of being fearless also

It's a dude in a large baby carrier, he can scared and wet his power-diaper if he really wants to. Do you have a Grey Knights codex? You can check for yourself in there.

I don't think I've ever seen a DK break in combat. It either crushes the opposition, wins over a series of combats, or gets obliterated by something with far greater CC prowess.

Yup, its not Fearless. But it has ATSKNF, which is better in most cases. Its rarely going to lose combat, and if it does its probably dead.

ATSKNF is far superior. You can GtG and it is not removed by terrify. Just keep it away from board edges.

If they had fearless you would be on here going "why don't they have ATSKNF" because someone used terrify on the dreadknight.

Dunno, I think my 10,000 year old Phoenix Lord who has single handedly beat back a hive fleet is more deserving... or the living incarnation of my War God.. Or any daemon, or pretty much whatever does have fearless...

It isn't really given out like candy. Your Dreadnight can know when to retreat, and can be afraid like any other space marine. He just has the discipline to stop retreating and such. Hence ATSKNF

Von Chogg

And they shall know no fear is fearless with one notable exception...pinning and goto ground are not autopass and you still fall back before the auto regroup kicks in so if you hit a board edge youre still gone.

Pinning a dreadknigh is funny as hell btw

Can an MC go to ground? I don't' remember.

As long as they're not Fearless sure.

tau rip tides are neither fearless, nor ATSKNF,

so enjoy making them take a fear test when in CC with your dreadknight!

no because it then has to take fear tests when it enters combat with daemons and it can get pinned so ATSKNF is not better. plus a thing thats soul purpous is to hunt down and slay greater daemons should by rights be fearless.

ATSKNF automatically passes Fear tests. This is right in the BRB, not just the codex's

Dakka isn't a codex... As innocent as your intentions are, dakka can get into trouble for being used as such, so in future, I would keep away from doing so

You obviously are here to troll...

you obviously do not have a BRB either...

you obviously need to rethink your strategy for garnering support of your opinion...

and you obviously know very little about Grey Knight fluff... otherwise you would be making such silly claims that because Dreadknights dont have fearless, nothing should... that would be like saying because deamons are manifestations of gestalt energy, they should not be able to be hurt by normal, mortal weaponry... (killing a unit of bloodletters with overwatch is hilarious BTW)

Id rather be fearless than atsknf anyway. Its not better, its a way to give a crapton of units virtual fearless without being fearless. Pinning and regular morale checks still happen, and those hurt me more than fear or sweeping advance does since they happen at any point not just end of combat

And yes mc can goto ground if they are not fearless. I did it with my riptides since i had the stand up warlord trait to use up still...was kinda funny since it made me pass my saves rofl

I'd love to have ATSKNF instead of Fearless on many of my Nids. The ability to GTG is just awesome.
