Because dreads cant ride in normal drop pods anymore?


I understand that, but the point of the Lucius was to protect your Dread. But now it doesn't do that.

On another note, Bray'arth Ashmantle is far superior than a Leviathan

*EDIT: And now I know why. Relic Leviathans are way cheaper while Bray'arth is over 150 points more than any other character in the book. Holy hell is he expensive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9479159.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9479159.page GMT Forgeworld Lucius Pattern Drop Pod nerfed? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9479355.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9479355.page GMT Forgeworld Lucius Pattern Drop Pod nerfed?
The shrouded rule only benefited models "remaining on its structure" which, as a model itself was impassible terrain. And if "remaining on its structure" just meant not disembarking(as the Lucius did not require disembark) then the dread couldn't be shot at anyway.

The pod wasn't nerfed, it was simply made functional. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9479435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9479435.page GMT Forgeworld Lucius Pattern Drop Pod nerfed?

Because a Stormraven doesn't block LOS to their big shooter. Or provide cover fire to those troops behind said big scary unit. Or protect your dread and allow it to assault (though now that's changed)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9483761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9483761.page GMT Forgeworld Lucius Pattern Drop Pod nerfed?

if memory serves you now can't stay inside the drop pod and while it may provide cover it is hard to black LOS completely to a dred once the drop pod opens. honestly I would rather zip up a storm raven, then drop off the dred behind actual LOS blocking cover if desired or better yet right next to something to shoot, flame and charge]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9483777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9483777.page GMT Forgeworld Lucius Pattern Drop Pod nerfed?

Oh for sure now, but I dont have a Raven lol. I was just wondering why they made the Lucius a regular drop pod now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9483798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731983/9483798.page GMT Forgeworld Lucius Pattern Drop Pod nerfed?
