venerable dreadnaught did indeed dread nothing...

[General Biakal]

so at lenton i had a 1500pt war with dark angels 1st company.

my opponents Venerable Dread took the following and laughed it off...

3 twin linked las-cannons

6 rapid firing plasma rifles (12 shots), 1 las-cannon, 2 autocannon shots...

colour me enraged.....

[MortiS-the-Lost]

Now imagine your an Ork player in the same situation, with a considerably lower chance of hitting the Dreadnought and you haven't had access to the above weapons for 3 editions.  

[MarkRG]

Now if it was my dreadnought it prob would have been taken out by the first shot. damit

Game on

[General Biakal]

it took some brass...and stood laughing

but really it just shows how shocking my dice throws have been recently...
