Anaraion Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Greetings, Just wondering what you all would suggest for best load outs? I am leaning towards axe/shield but wondering weather lasx2 or plasmax2 might be an option. Thoughts? Thanks in advance :)!!

wulfgar hammerfist Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Axe and shield is a great option. For shooty dreads I really like 2x twin autocannons. They put out a lot of shots on a fairly survivable platform for a relatively cheap points cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gherrick Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The best are Bjorn and Murderfang ;) The main reason is the CHARACTER keyword, which increases their survivability immensely. Other than that, axe/shield dreads are solid. I don't really think we need rifleman dreads, but the 2 wounds of the autocannons are pretty nice, it just sucks we can't protect them very well.

Halfpint100 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have 6 space wolf dreads. Bjorn, 3 riflemen, axe/shield and murderfang. I love them all! I wouldnt really use any other load out personally, but that is just me Filius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolfLord Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I had an Axe/Shield Dread take the brunt of 3 Imperial Knights shooting and 3 rounds of combat with a FW Cerastus Knight-Atrapos and its deadly Lascutter. I needed to keep some command point rerolls for the Invuln save as the Lascutter does a flat 6 damage but my Axe Dread took the Knight down to 3 wounds over 3 phases. My opponent made the majority of his 5+ invuln saves too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaraion Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks all :)!! Axe/Shield it is and maybe a rifle man later :)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper_Hawser Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Memo to myself: Do full Dreadnought March this weekend. Axe and Shield Dreads to screen Bjorn and Murderfang while rest of Dreadnoughts lay down supporting fire. All must be venerable in order to ensure that Heavy Weapons hitting on 3+.

I second this. Bjorn is an auto include in any list. He is absolutely amazing. Run murderface and a couple axe/shield dreads and you are laughing.

TheWolfLord Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Bjorn is amazing but I was a little shocked when I added up his total cost. He's still worth it but I hadn't considered the extra costs for his gun arm and Heavy Flamer. I'll be running him with Twin Lascannons and I know my opponents will hate him. He's back to what he was in 2nd again. Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nharvey89 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I ran him yesterday, his twin Las added the extra fire I needed where my long fangs failed. And his reroll of 1s allowed me to constantly risk gets hot on my plasma wolf guard, once they jumped out in rapid fire range. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and will be spending the points on him most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Bjorn rocks and I am thinking of running some Hellblasters as a bodyguard for him for maximum plasma burn. Other than that, Bjorn and Murderfang with an Axe/Shield Dread just in front to tank for them and an Iron Priest to patch them up looks extremely solid. March of the Ancients!

Gherrick Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 You prolly want two axe/shield dreads to help ensure neither character is closer, especially if they decide to deep stike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarnii Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) I'm planning on running bjorn, two contemptor and maybe a axe/shield dread in an army which very low armour, mainly infantry, terminators and bikes. Bjorn likely going lascannons. I haven't built the contemptor so have the potential to be Mortis,any thoughts on load outs?

danyboy Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Hi Space Wolfes brothers Just wanted to share with you my recent experience with SW dread army. Don't know exactly, but it was 5 CC only kitted Drednoughts: Bjorn and Venerables (I guess), with two Iron Piests on Bikes. I played Ultramarines commanded by Sgt. Chronus in Predator tank. Evertyhing else is on the picture https://mojaminiwojna.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/img_20170630_195535-01.jpeg Also my army had ~150 more points total. We were supposed to play Blitz narrative mission, with SW player as city defender and me as the one who should enter the city in glory But everything went wrong! He rushed on me since turn one. And I was standing on the board edge firing salvo by salvo. I slightly damaged two closest dreads, which he fully repaired in next turn! Memo: 3+ Invulnerable Saves are your friend! Since turn two there was melee which started to cripple my vehicles (massive W loss and forced Fall Back which disabled their's shooting in that turn). He then made mistake - he charged with those Iron Priestes and both died soon after. From now on, since he could not repair his dreads, they started to fall down. Memo: don't let enemy kill your Iron Priests! Thanks to Sustained Assault some of my vehicles "come back from the dead" but I was basically whipped out by the end of turn 6. That was very fun game!
