@I grappled the shoggoth:
That is a great attitude when approaching the game/hobby in general.
But this thread is focusing specifically on Dreads + Competitivness...it's the point here.

Your suggestion does go in different direction...maybe worse than my derailments...

Right, and what im trying to say is no, you do not need obliterators to be competitive. I guess I should have explained myself better.

There are competitive requirements and competitive choices.

Obliterators are a competitive choice, but not a requirement.

I would consider having heavy support a competitive requirement for chaos, but what it is is up to the player.
