Dreadclaw missing from FW?

[DrLove42]

Can't find the Dreadclaw (Chaos Droppod) on FW's webpage anywhere?

Is it just me that can't find it, or has it been pulled?

I've found these

Yeah they're the epic ones, the 40K scale one isn't on their anymore

[Wolfshade]

They are Battlefleet Gothic ones, I was trying to be amusing...

But no they are gone and I can't see where they are.

It's possible that they are just having the molds cleaned up which happens from time to time.

This sometimes means they are temporarily pulled from production for a short while.

They have been pulled for something like 6 months now.

I was going to say they've been missing from before xmas, but six months is before xmas so...

[DrLove42]

Fairy Nuff. I wasn't looking that seriously, not looking for a few months, but wanted to have a looksie

Sadly it looks as though the Dreadclaw has gone, which seems a shame as it's an option in the FW HH book. :(

Also the Aquilla Lander, Imperial Lightning and Ork Fighta are gone too. Shame as i wanted an Aquilla.

The lightning is getting a mkII "upgrade".
The fighter will probably have gone because of the plastic version...
dunno about the lander...

For a dreadclaw, they can be made fairly easily from drop-pods... Especially good for less chaotic armies, or Horus Heresy era forces. Basically you just put the side vanes on the drop-pod upside-down. Just google Dreadclaw Conversion and you'll see what I mean.

Someone on the FW facebook page when i asked yesterday said they had pulled it to redesign it as less chaosy, to fit in with the Heresy stuff

I'm looking forward to the newest Forge World book I ordered (as I expect the updated Dreadclaw is in it). I'm hoping the cost has come down dramatically and/or they have fixed (or clarified) it a bit over the previous rules. It would be nice to have a cost effective way to deliver a Hellbrute.

Dumb question: Can you take Dreadclaws as transports for Terms, not necessarily dedicated transports, if the unit doesn't include that in their options?

I don't want to take the Rite of War because, again, the wording of the rule confuses me.

Dereadclaws can take Terminators, standard squads like chosen/Plague marines/ CSMs, other cult troops, and even a single dreadnought. It looks like the only things as far as infantry it can not take are Daemons, Obliterators/Mutilators, and Raptors.
