RW is the quick speedy force that gets in and out, and a dreadnaught seems very outof place, as i dont think it can hobble along with everyone else.

what could be some fluff reasons about a dread keeping up with bikes? maybe i give him treds instead of feet?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876716.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

Put him in a drop-pod?


If you have one of the super-sized new speeders in there, add a harness rig underneath, so they can carry him and drop him off before the battle?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876733.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876733.page GMT Re:how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876736.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?
Fluff-wise I imagine that most dreadnoughts are held in reserve until needed. They don't really need to "keep up" with bikes because they are rapidly deployed into position by air/space superiority once a battle big enough for them to get involved with breaks out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876746.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5876769.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5883710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5883710.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

Well do Deathwing Dreadnaughts really fight in melee? I suppose they will always be supporting from afar with their superior fire powers]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5883728.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5883728.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

Why would they flee from battle after destroying their target?

The Ravenwing are a fast strike force, so they'd speed in and quickly destroy the target. They would clear the area though, not leave enemies around to harass them. If the battle got really intense, its perfectly feasible that a Dreadnought could be dropped in to provide fire support. Then when the target has been destroyed (or captured), the Ravenwing secure the area and the recovery of troops and equipment begins.

The Ravenwing operate in a way that doesnt lend itself to drawn out engagements. They want to get in, hit on target hard, and then leave. Don't forget that most of their missions involve gathering information on the Fallen and tracing them down. If they find anything (or indeed nothing) of worth, there is no need for them to hang around.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884170.page GMT Re:how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884205.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884212.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884212.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

Mortis dreadnoughts are dual ranged in general (Yet they still didn't give them the option, )

Traditional Mortis has: Dual Autocannons, Dual missile launchers, Dual Lascannons (All twinlinked if I remember right)

So yes, they would be providing fire support, though the Deathwing Dreadnought is a more varied sort. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5884773.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

Gw won't make the Mortis kit because Fw already does and they don't like cannibalizing from Fw.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5887065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5887065.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

"Guys? Guys? Aw damn... Better start walking then..." *metallic crying


I found it a bit weird that DA didn't get the storm raven tbh... Seems right up the Ravenwing street for other forces supporting them other than the deathwing...

thats not that stupid an idea. One of the things I really liked about the Heavy Gear computer games was that each mech had a secondary mobility system that basically boiled down to in-line skates or tracks that could be deployed for fast redeployment. You needed to go back to walking to use cover effectively, but it would give the dread a means to keep up with the bikes ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5896394.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5896394.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

The real problem of course is that if you ally in a Stormraven (which is probably the best option), you'll also need to ally in the Dreads, you can't use your ally's transports...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5896449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5896449.page GMT how can a Dreadnaught keep up with ravenwing?

How the ... ; I wonder if BLZ consciously not release 28mm miniatures of their vidya game characters to distant themselves from Warhammer.

The Fallen huddled behind his rock, waiting for an opportunity to escape. He had to move quickly to the next rock or else he'd never get to the starport. All that stood between him and the nearest freighter was an open expanse of rock-clustered grassland... wait. He squinted to see the boxlike shape of a dreadnought plodding its way towards him. He also knew his former battle-brother was out of firing range with his multi-melta and storm bolter, so the Fallen got up and ran. With his lighter weight he'd have no trouble getting to the spaceport first.

All that the Fallen heard behind him was a loud FOOMP and a cry of "REPEEEeeeeeeennnnnnnn...!" fading away from him.

"Dreadnoughts don't make those noises," the Fallen thought to himself.

He ran faster, closing in on the launch bays and freedom from the Ravenwing's pursuers.

Suddenly his ears were filled with a whistling noise mixed with the sound of "...eeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNT!" and then a squishing noise as the dreadnought landed on the unfortunate man.

"YOU'D BETTER LIVE LONG ENOUGH FOR ASMODAI TO SEE TO YOU," the dreadnought's voice boomed as he looked down on the Fallen's crushed legs. "YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO, BROTHER."

Soon, the word spread through the communication network of the Fallen that Ravenwing found a new weapon in their search.

Strap a rocket to a dreadnought and he'll find a way to keep up.

RW corner whatever foe they are facing, a few dreads pod in and play clean up crew, then are extracted after the fighting by thunderhawks or storm talons (... o wait DA lost their storm talon STC).

.... or maybe nephallim fighters are so useless in-game in because fluff wise they carry dreadnoughts around instead of decent armaments?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5909349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/541800/5909349.page GMT
