With the new Ironclad, the ability to bring 6 Venerable Dreads(BS 5 MM's!), drop pod rules, and all the other little goodies in the new codex, does it look like one might be able to come up with a COMPETETIVE list featuring loads of dreads?

What sort of options do you think would be most useful?

Ironclad>Venerable? Venerable>Ironclad?

With the combinations of heavy flamers and melta weaponry availiable, seismic hammers and the like...does this strike anyone else as a possibility for a really hard list. We've got LR spam and mechanised lists out there taking advantage of the new damage table, what about dreadnoughts?

Thoughts?

I'm workin' on it, oh believe I am.

A Dread heavy army is certainly viable.
Venerable makes them more survivable, but may not be so important in a Dread spam army.
I'd mount the Dreads into drop pods and take drop podded Tacticals for scoring purposes.
