LS squad I give you.
The HS dread I am challenging you on. The exact wording of the advatnage 'Heed the Wisdom of the Ancients' (I kept thinking honor your wargear... DOH!) follows:
Dreadnoughts may be taken as Heavy Support or as Elites. Any Dreadnoughts selected as Elites must be Venerable and the 0-1 limit is removed. May not be selected by a chapter that has taken Aspire to Glory.
Also, reading for Venerable:
As well as fearsome warriors, the accumulated wisdom of a Dreadnought's centuries of battle is an invaluable resource, and their vast experience meanss that they have fought in almost every conceivable form of engagement. One Dreadnought per detachment may be upgraded to Venerable. Venerable Dreadnoughts are extremely hard to kill and whenever they suffer a glancing or penetrating hit you may ask your opponent to re-roll the result on the Vehicle Damage tables. However, you must accept the second result, even if it is worse!
Where in either of those ruling does it disallow the taking of a Heavy Support Dreadnought as Venerable? The ONLY limitation on Venerable is that it was 0-1, but ' HWOA' ignores that. Only other point I could see would be in 'HWOA' itself, however it only states that any dreadnoughts taken as elites MUST be venerable. So i'm good.
The Iron Father will likely be done by modeling the servo-harness attachments in odd places, like sprouting off arms, shoulders, hips, etc..
Thanks!
