Are you suggesting the Helcult formation puts the Helbrute IN the cultist squad? It does no such thing. A formation does not make all the units taken in said formation and make it a single unit. It's just bringing that combination of things in your list gives you added benefits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774930.page GMT Dreadnought Changes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774946.page GMT Dreadnought Changes

Treat those marines as 3+ cover for the dread. Have the marines make look out sir for the dred. As long as dred is alive, it grants xxxx rule like helbrute grants fearless until it dies in which case it grants zealous.

No need for complicated ic rules joining marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774968.page GMT Dreadnought Changes cc with both Av and T values, after to hit rolls are made first determine whether the closest model has an Av or T value and then resolve accordingly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774976.page GMT Dreadnought Changes
You would have to make rules for shooting at units with mixed AV/toughness values, else there's literally no point in giving it Independant Character.

Also, it'd be pretty broken to be able to look out sir on a vehicle. Vehicles typically don't get to make any saving throws, so high power, bad AP weapons like auto-cannons would no longer be viable to shoot at said unit. People would just ping a LOS off their marine counterparts and get a 3+ save.

I am vehemently against this proposed rule. It would complicate things too much, or not serve it's intended purpose, and would be very easy to abuse.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7774978.page GMT Dreadnought Changes DE Beast master squad with 4 different models? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7775011.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7775011.page GMT Dreadnought Changes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7775286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7775286.page GMT Dreadnought Changes AV into a unit with Toughness means you have to figure out who is closest and then the Look out Sir rules take effect and on and on and on. Furthermore, by bringing the Dread into the squad what your really trying to do is give the dreadnought a wound pool. Kind of broken really. Granted it would finally give Martel a reason to like his tactical marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7784785.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645593/7784785.page GMT
