---------> Me too...I took dreads, often several cards worth, in nearly
every game I played. Even though Marine dreads sucked rocks in SM/TL,
they are just too much a part of marine fluff to leave out. I also have
a set of the older metal dreads which look way too good to leave out
(compared to the plastic), but I used the plastic as well. Also used
Orky dreas, Chaos dreads, Eldar dreads (maybe the best of any) . Anyone
else have units they took (or take) just because they're flavor-rich,
even if they're less than effective?
