Why does it seem a dread running on batteries to you?
There is nothing about dreaeds refueled, or recharged.
Rearmed ,yes, so it may run out of ammo.

Haha i didn't mean an actual battery i just used it to phrase the question, but i can see your in Germany so if English isn't your first language i can see how it would seem that way.
Thanks for the reply though, its good to know that there isn't any actual fluff on it becasue I'm writing a small bit of fluff for one of my chaos dreads who is being punished by Abbadon by being forced to be constantly awake

Perhaps the dreadnought uses an engine similar to a Leman Russ, an internal combustion engine that will run on anything that is even remotely combustible. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421348.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421348.page GMT Re:Dreadnaught battery life?

Isn't one of the reasons why chaos dreads are insane the fact they don't "shut down" to sleep like loyalist dreads do?
Chaos dreads chained to keep them in check in transit and such.... so becoming a dread IS punishment IIRC...

More punishment:
- switching the sensors off as punishment for slaneeshi dreads
- disarming and switching off movement activators for khornate dreads
- chained close to a bunch of psychic blanks for tzeentchian dreads
- watching commercials of pristine factory fresh dreads for nurgle dreads]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421367.page GMT Re:Dreadnaught battery life?

Yeah never going to sleep was the punishment as well as becoming the dread.
Its hard to tell becasue iv read a few books where chaos dreads are kept asleep, it must vary with legion/warband. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421393.page GMT Dreadnaught battery life? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421626.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3421626.page GMT Dreadnaught battery life?
Radiation shouldn't be a problem, even today you get more radiation from eating a banana than from standing next to a nuclear power plant.
In the grim darkness of the blah blah blah the reactors will be significantly more advanced.

According to the codex, the pilots are taken out and sedated between battles to prevent them going on a rampage in the ship, and the Dread body is chained up to prevent residue of the pilot's spirit causing it to go on a rampage anyway. So it being constantly awake might be more of a danger to Abaddon than the Dread.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3433522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3433522.page GMT Dreadnaught battery life?

I ask this because i was wondering what would happen to a dread if it got stranded on its own.



Quite a while, because Energizer allows them to just keep going and going and going.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3433568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3433568.page GMT Re:Dreadnaught battery life? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3438614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402654/3438614.page GMT
