Given that only the dreadnought drop pod is listed as a dedicated transport option for the Leviathan, it is not unreasonable to assume that regular drop pods (even when purchased on their own) are not intended to be used by a Leviathan.

That really doesn't make a difference. They are a Dreadnought of Any Type. Short of having a rule that stated they can *only* ride in a Dreadnought Drop Pod (which they do not have), they can ride in a regular drop pod. Same goes for Deredeo Dreadnoughts and Contemptor Dreadnoughts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880747.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods

To address the underlined: they do, indeed, have that rule in the Legion red book preventing them from using the regular drop pod. So again, it is not unreasonable to assume that their 40K incarnation is not intended to be used in a regular drop pod. One can email Forgeworld to ask, or wait for the final version of the published rules in the coming IA book to see. If the ability to ride in a regular pod is a deciding factor in purchasing the model, I would argue it is best to play it safe due to the costs involved. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880761.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods

I only ever really pay attention to the 40K rules, so that is why I forgot about that rule. At any rate, the 40K version doesn't have that rule (maybe they build their drop pods more sturdy?), so it should be able to ride in a regular pod. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that rule.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880777.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods 40k rules PDF is very clear:

Yes. As a dedicated Transport. But there is, currently, nothing whatsoever, preventing a player from taking a Drop Pod in a Fast Attack slot and embarking the Leviathan Dreadnought in that pod.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8880799.page GMT Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods DPs.

Anyway, the Dreadnought Drop Pod is TOTALLY worth it for the Shrouded on the turn it arrives, the dreadnought can camp in it for a turn, and its an Assault Vehicle

Plus its a Leviathan Dreadnought, which is SUPER SCARY in Close Combat]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881349.page GMT Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods

Yeah as a dedicated transport

Aren't the Dreadnoughts carried by Stormravens on a winch on the back or something? And not actually in the plane. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881485.page GMT Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881498.page GMT Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods

Being raised up in the DDP, in a space large enough to DS it, is going to make that tough. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881504.page GMT Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881557.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881766.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881766.page GMT Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8881886.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8888655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8888655.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8888658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8888658.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8888662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701446/8888662.page GMT Re:Do Leviathan dreadnaught have to have dreadnaught drop pods
