I hate you....not really but kinda... my LGS just submitted a formal complaint to Forgeworld that threatened legal action due to the ridiculous delay. heres hoping it lights a fire under their ass.

Oh no I thought of you when I saw it had shipped and was like theres no way I got mine shipped if theres others with orders floating out there. Hopefully you can get yours in your hands soon.

Are there any Bat reps using the Dreadsaurian, I cannot find a single one

 

[Aginor]

I can't remember a recent one (AoS2) but there have been a few floating around some months ago.

Battle Report

we do have another option though still not quite as cool as the illustration in the Monster Arcanum...

Do you have a link to either of those things?

I can link you to the expired Kickstarter. The Dread Saurian equivalent is towards the bottom, number 60.

Or here I guess.

I do not have a link to the illustration in Monstrous Arcanum.

 

[pendrake]

Thanks for the visual. I remember looking at that Kickstarter. I thought that creature labeled 60 was a Carnasaur. (Because shorter front legs I guess...)

A Bad rep is not what a dread will get, you have to find a list where he fits in. 420 points are all little bit, especially in 1000-1500 point games. With a Nice LoSaT he can get so much value Out of nowhere and with His Potential to oneshot keYunits he cannot be ignored. I personally havent played my as much often as i would, but when i set him up, He is always feared from the beginning.

Did you mistake ''Bat Rep'' for ''Bad Rep'' ?

 

[Vexcor]

Stop confusing ne

 

[Xasto]

Just thought he meant battle report and your reply kinda seemed like you understood Bad reputation, nothing more

 

[Vexcor]

Ich mean battle report too, dreads are not supposed to get a bad Report!!! They are awesome!!! (When you have one)

 

[Dr Kaos]

Its back!

 

[Dr Kaos]

And now one is soon to start its migration to my home!

 

[Catman]

I see him back in stock again on Forgeworld

I was able to insert the beast in a 1000 points game, alongside a stegadon (and I did), but at 420 it's too costly. Probably it can still be done in an effective way, providing you summon things to swarm the rest of the battlefield…

Slann 260
Dread 420
10 skinks 60
10 knights 180
2 razordons 80

or

Slann 260
Astrlith 160
Dread 420
10 skinks 60
10 skinks 60
1 salamander 40

I read this thread from top to bottom and all the while thinking about whether the wife would react to a £150/$230 hit on my finances. I came so close to buying one it is unreal but can't currently justify it.

In the back of my mind I was just worried about how much game time I'd get out of it too. Wether people would let me actually use the FW model in GW set-up (even though I see nothing wrong with it).
