Today we have a guest article by Master Shake about a perhaps positive effect of the new Chaos Space Marine FAQ.
From Shakes blog:
“So are chaos dreadnoughts worth it? In short, yes. Now they are. I liked them before but nevr truly thought they were worth it due to the fire frenzy. The latest FAQ has made fire frenzy advantageous, though.
Now, though it’s arc is only 45 degrees. This means that a dreadnought with a plasma cannon will now get two shots at the nearest unit it can see, which, if you are a reasonably competant player should only ever be the enemy. It is particularly useful if you have lash.
In my opinion, Lash and chaos dreads were made for each other, especially now. If you fire frenzy, great! Two plasma cannon shots at whatever is in front of him. If he Rages, great! I’ll lash something towards him!
Plus its super cheap for a chaos dread with a plasma cannon and extra armour… yes please?”
Short and to the point. You can checkout Shakes blog, Grotzilla! where he posts more musings on the game we all love. -MBG
