<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?
Originally I wanted to run.
2xDreadknight (Flamer, Teleport)

Now I'm thinking that:
1xDreadknight(Flamer, Teleport)
1xDreadknight(Longsword, Teleport)
or
2xDreadknight(Longsword, Teleport)

might be wort it as well.

Or should I do (Flamer, Picannon,Teleport) and loose some points elsewhere?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790067.page GMT Re:Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?
I currently have 2 DK's set up like this ( i bought them built off mates at my FLGC ) :

Longsword - Heavy Incinerator - Teleporter

Longsword - Heavy Psycannon - Teleporter plus a third to be built,might just go crazy and put both weapons on him with the longsword and a teleporter.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790072.page GMT Re:Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?
The Flamer: Torrent is a great rule, and it gives a Dreadknight powerful and reliable ranged combat. A Rending Large Blast is nice, but it can scatter, whereas a flamer template wont. The Flamer also ignores cover.
The Greatsword: Rerolls are so important when you don't have a lot of attacks, and you need them to hit and wound. It ensures that you aren't screwed over by chance when you absolutely must kill that MC this round.
The Teleporter: Without it, you don't have any mobility, and your power just goes to waste.

The Sword/Flamer/Teleporter load out makes the Dreadknight a threat to basically any target in the game. It's 260 points, sure, but it's a worthwhile 260.

Think about it this way: if you want the DK being a CC threat, you need both the Sword and the teleporter. If you want him to be a solely ranged threat, just go for two from H. Psycannon/G. Psilencer/H. Incinerator, and no teleporter or sword. If you want all-rounder, go for Sword/H.Incinerator/Teleporter.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790117.page GMT Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword? Seems to make sense. Though 24" +6" is not really enough to serve as ranged threat IMO.


Thanks for the advice. ^^]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790197.page GMT Re:Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword? MCs around the game they don't even come close for that point total IMO.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790213.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790213.page GMT Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?
I run it with the teleporter if I have the points, otherwise it just starts walking.

To me, the sword is a must have, even dropping the gun if I have to to fit it in the points (hasn't happened yet, I usually drop stuff from elsewhere in the army) I find very few things that survive the beating that it administers with the rerolls, and if it does, just activate the force weapon. I think in my use, it's currently only Abaddon that has survived being smacked around by Derek.

Okay, so it's met the world's luckiest Archon who managed to kill it with a Huskblade and a Slaanesh Lord with Murdersword who called it as a target, both of which killed him before he had a chance to blink, but most other things are dead...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5790324.page GMT Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword? FAQ makes him str10 5 attacks on the charge with re-roll everything. also they are really good at killing characters (They can challenge) if you run a vindicare to negate any invuns that they may have. 100% PURE CHEESE]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5846983.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5846983.page GMT Re:Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?

I didn't think you could put both ranged weapons and a cc weapon on but I am new to GK. Seems like a waste though because you can only fire 1 weapon a turn right?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5848361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5848361.page GMT Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword?

The Dreadknight can take 2 ranged weapons and one of the close combat weapons. Being a monstrous creature, he can fire 2 weapons a turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5848409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5848409.page GMT Re:Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5848979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5848979.page GMT Dreadknight: Flamer or Longsword? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5849215.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/536621/5849215.page GMT
