You can use it as a bunker to keep your dread safe for a turn after landing (open topped, so the dread can still shoot out just fine), then launch an assault out of the pod on the following turn. They are pretty good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/707317/8999854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/707317/8999854.page GMT Lucious Pattern Drop Pod HP and 12/12/12 armor?

No; open topped just makes you vulnerable to No Escape!, but that doesn't much matter to a dreadnought.

Aside from those, there isn't too much that's likely to kill the dread without first having to kill the pod.

IIRC, stats are the same as a normal pod, but minus the storm bolter. I think it gets shrouded on the turn it drops too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/707317/8999970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/707317/8999970.page GMT Lucious Pattern Drop Pod 2D6 charge if something is still around.

So basically you place your drop pod close enough to the enemy units, you cross your fingers and hope that the enemy team won't explode it during (shouldn't be too hard I guess) his turn. You then have to disembark and roll these 2D6 charge if something is still around. Or am I missing something?

Terribly nerfed? It is still very good for a dreadnought. At least your Dread don't need to worry being shot at from all directions right after you land and before you charge.

Compare to the nerf on tactical marines through the grenade FAQ, the nerf on droppod is light.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/707317/9000536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/707317/9000536.page GMT
