Dark_Master Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Going to take a last minute advantage of the free dreadnought arms. Thinking of a Chaplain Dreadnought with CC arm. Recommendations for the second arm? DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Jober Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 IMO Chaplain Dread is really nice because his BS2+, it allows moving and shooting with 3+ so better than a predator. Twin-lascannon seems great, but total cost is around 212p Other good options are Assault Cannon and Plasma Cannon (I think it was added in the last FAQ), both cheap and with some weight of fire. And it is aprox. 180-190p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Master Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Any love for the Inferno Cannon? DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STC Logisengine Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I do like the infernocannon (bit miffed that they removed the flamestorm option as the ap-2 could have been useful) however I do feel it's a waste on the chaplain dreadnougt. I think that 2x DCCW is the way to go to cash in on the reroll to hit on 1s and dual heavy flamers instead, or just the basic stormbolters for 8 shots at within 12''. If you want to use inferno cannons then roll a siege dreadnought and have 2 of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipsen Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 2x DCCW. Unlike other dreads a venerable chaplain dread is a character with less than 10 wounds. You can walk it up safely behind your front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Either melee or Lascannons for sure. With Lascannons he's a rather reliable anti-tank platform your opponent will struggle to take out due him being a <10 wound character. With Melee he can close the distance safely as long as you have other units infront of him for the same reason, but that requires a list that wants to get that close to the opponent as well so is a bit harder to implement properly.

HandsWithLegs Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 What's this free dreadnought arms thing? Is it still going and how do I get in on it? I kinda want to get one of those chaplain ones before they're all gone from last chance to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofish7591 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Sadly I don't think the free arms are available anymore... I still plan on grabbing a chaplain dread before they go though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruor Vault Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm a big fan of Twin Lascannons and a DCCW. Stack on the Armor Indomitus Relic and he's very hard to kill and quite versatile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Jober Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Damn i forgot that he can take relics:) Remember he is also a Character so he can be easily protected from enemy fire. In the other hand his aura effect is quite meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracos Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 They need to rethink the Chaplains role for Marines. Capt. gives reroll to hit, Lt. reroll to wound. Chaplains should give reroll to Saves. It doesn’t overlap the captains role and is less situational than +1 A or a Ldr buff. This way he is still a generalist as Marines are usually but can be customized with wargear to support any type of unit, be it close combat or ranged. One Brothers opinion (who loves all the Chappie models but never uses them on the table) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Chaplains are as bland as the whole Marine Codex. All the units need an inspired rework. However this is about the Chaplain Dreadnought and the only reason you take one over a regular Chaplain is because he can carry Lascannons with his BS2+. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegir_Einarsson Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Venerable Also can i think? I think that 5++ is Also a point here And the character keyword with less than 9 wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Of course the character keyword with <10 wounds is what makes him as BS2+ Lascannon platform so great (it's <10, not <9). I didn't think I need to repeat that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I put an order on today for one before they disappeared. It seems most of the arms already have, so I’ll just have to get another dread kit for some spare arms and backup. And perhaps some more Dreads. Go Dread heavy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
