1000pts on the nose... whatcha make of it Dakka?

The list boils down to 3 Ven Dreads rocking Twin Las and Melee&Heavy Flamer, techmarine Advancing behind them to Repair. Smash Capt doin a smash. and 3 5 man Tactical squads running for objectives and providing small arms fire, while the whirlwind provides suppressive fire and digs out hidden enemies... should probably note that my meta is pretty monster heavy (Great Unclean ones, Rotigus, Morty, Magnus, Lord of Skulls) or Very Assaulty Armies like Harlequins...


Old Marines aren't dead yet, and we're going down swinging!
(Super agressive was coined during the early draft where the tacts were in drop pods to pressure the enemy T1)

GamerGuy

Why do you pick a chapter tactic for only one vehicle ?

Scions of the forge applies to dreadnoughts too!

Ven dreads dont have a damage table.

Oh... Yeah crap thanks p5freak!

Totally overlooked that! Bonus range doesn't really do much so Imma reconsider this list! thanks for the reply!
