DP's don't get the DoA rule and you also have the DP assault rule to consider which can leave some of your forces without support]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3889900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3889900.page GMT Are dreadnoughts viable in a DoA list?

+ Drop Pod = Win

So if that shoot all the DoA units that can't take them all down and I'm sure the Dreads will take a ton of fire, what ever they don't kill, kills them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3889902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3889902.page GMT Re:Are dreadnoughts viable in a DoA list?
So, if you want to go this route, you have to start on the table, and use the distraction of the DP'd stuff to buy time for your infantry to get into assault. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3890459.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3890459.page GMT Re:Are dreadnoughts viable in a DoA list? ML devs in your DOA list as some do. It takes some heat off of the devs during that turn where they are the only thing on the board.

However, if your goal is to alpha strike on turn 2 with DOA plus podding dreads, you need an equivalent number of empty pods to delay the dreads for a turn. These can be found as empty dev or tactical squad transports especially if those units will be camping on backfield objectives. Alternatately, using a throwaway unit like a bunch of combi-melta sternguard could provide the turn one pods, though sternguard will cut into your dread count if your arent using death company.

Lastly, probably the best option for DOA dreads is on a stormraven filled with scaries like Assault termies/death company. This preserves the alpha strike nature of the list and hopefully your assault marines can tie up meltas which are bad news verses assaulty dreads. This can act as a reserve force that breaks open enemy lines or uses the assault marines as a can opener to get to bubble wrapped units. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3890607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3890607.page GMT Re:Are dreadnoughts viable in a DoA list?

This is not a bad idea. I've run 2 ravens that can DS with assault marines and used the empty pods to drop on turn 1 (drop them near objectives, they count as contesting )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3893499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3893499.page GMT Are dreadnoughts viable in a DoA list? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3895118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/428612/3895118.page GMT Are dreadnoughts viable in a DoA list?
