Whats this?

[Spartan2154]

ok, clearly its a dred with a jumpack, but is there any presense of this in game terms? can i make sumthin like this and use it in battle? has anyone done this before???

seems like a good idea...

thoughts?

[Wakim]

Fanart

But it`s safe to presume the Blood Angels already thought of doing something like that

[Spartan2154]

has anyone ever done it in game properties though???

[Wakim]

Not that i know of

We did mess around with other dread blends like dread chap, dread lib.... not a dread assaulty


Throw this at steve, he`ll have something interesting to say :P

[Spartan2154]

well, i did get it from a fanart place but it seems like a good idear...imma need lots of green stuff...

[Wakim]

I can`t think of anything that`ll work as a dread sized jump pack so yea, GS is the way to go

[Warmaster Romulas]

thats from back in the RT days when you could anything out with anything
marines with shuriken catapults and eldar with bolters
that sort of thing
a dread with a jumppack was not that far fetched

[Astrotrain]

I would love to see some Jetpack terminators.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

Dread + Jump Pack = Like Drop Sentinels? (just give it deep strike?)

[Wakim]

Dreads can already deep strike vie pods

That`s a non isue, we need it to jump

[Torquemada Coteaz]

True true.
But this is the more-cool-and-more-dangerous way of deep striking.

[Four20edLogan]

Damn good idea, don't know if it'd work though

[Wakim]

I think your oponent would hit you with the rulebook over the face


BUT think about this

Deep striking 2 Furiosos AND assaulting the same turn with them

[Dan296]

*gasp...choke...die*

o wait, thats what THEY would do. siiike!
thats a really cool picture though.

[Rellik]

that thing looks dangerous

[Spartan2154]

Darn right it does, now it just needs a flamer....

fire is sweet....

[Torquemada Coteaz]

I have a few things to pick with the artist's style though =P (not the skill, the STYLE).
And anyone else think the dread's JP is like dread legs glued to its back?

Anyway.

Don't let erus near the picture... It'll give him too many ideas!

or perhaps the dreadie CCW ? it could be those with a bit of plasticard work into it too. interesting drawing, nonetheless :]

[SteveBerenyi]

Why not just pay the VDR cost of 20 points to give it "AGILE" and count that as a jump pack for the dred?

sure it kinda goes beyond agile as it can pass over intervening territory but still it would be cool.

[Wakim]

So the plan is in motion.


We just need to get Steve in on it to do the points


EDIT


No steve, no, not agille, jump packs

Think about it


We need it cool and we need it broken

[Torquemada Coteaz]

"Broken"?
Umm then we'd have it drop in with jump pack, which does D6+3 Str 5 AP 5 attacks on people covered by its base, and the pack counts as a CC weapon which can only be used against people in the hind arc.
Oh and don't forget 18 inch moves, assault after deep strike, and impact hits

My point exactly


This *might* have worked against static Iron Warrior armies of olde

[Stubber]

I remember a Black Library novel where a dread had a jump pack.
He performed admirably until a Blood thirster cracked him open like a peanut to get as the juicy bits inside.

Would turbofan engines feom a model airliner make good jet packs for a dread?
