Hmm, I am not sure about this one, need to see better photos. But is it being in Night Lords colours a hint at the future?

[daboarder]

wait....what?

Ok not much to write home about

ah well, hopefully it will get useable rules for once, that would be nice.

Triumph of hope over experiance?

[daboarder]

Nah insanity, expecting different results from the same experiment numerous times

Hmm, I don't like it. I think. Possibly.

[Marshal_Loss]

I like it, and I'll definitely be getting some for my Sons of Horus, simply because they look awesome

[Kirsten]

I really like it, would definitely get some for the World Eaters once they are off the ground (pun intended).

Is that the super secret project you mentioned?

Well, they are one of the key chapters covered in HH: Massacre, so it only makes sense that some of the vehicles should be in their colours.

Back on-topic, I've always found the Dreadclaw to be an awkward, ugly-a** lump of weirdness. This new model does nothing to change my opinion. :(

no, though that is nearly finished, and pics may appear on sunday, if I can be bothered.

I like it, I was disappointed by the kharybdis price, the dreadclaw is really the drop pod I was after.

Suits the Legionnes Astartes though :)

Tempted by 4, filled with Tactical Squads, and a Kharbydis to carry Cataphractii.

[Maxis Lithium]

I like it. I want 2. I will paint them very red and they will deliver my Khorn forces into the frey. The Betrayer shall return!

[Kawauso]

I like the look and all...and I like that Chaos can use these to access drop pods...

But I hate...hate the whole silly idea of these things taking off again and/or flying around the battlefield like a traditional aircraft. It just seems silly in a bad, stupid way to me.
I'd love to add some drop pods to my Thousand Sons, but it's just so weird and silly that it bugs me enough to turn me off the model.

Ah well...different strokes for different folks, I guess. Still a lovely-looking kit.

It just seems silly in a bad, stupid way to me.Yeah, the idea of it hopping around is weird when visualized. Maybe it could be worked into a retreating mechanic; "A Dreadclaw, and any occupants, can be removed from play at the beginning of the owning player's Movement Phase. The removed units are not counted as destroyed."

It'd give Chaos an option to have small squads drop behind enemy lines that won't necessarily be wiped out, allow Chaos Warlords to escape a failed plan (as all good villains should) and not have Drop Pods be a First Blood write-off.

Ive already got a Kharybdis. Two of these as well might make a nice force. But theyll need new 40k rules. Cos currently they suck.

FW did say on facebook new rules were in pipeline
