Makes me wonder at the sort of power dreadclaws have.

Dreadclaws can fly around, I'm not sure if they are capable of leaving the atmosphere or an earth-like planet unner their own power.

Also, IIRC Drop pods use an anti-grav device similar to jumppacks and land speeders, this way they can free fall to a certain point, kick in the anto-grav device, fire some moderately powerfull reverse-thrusters, then crash into the ground at a reasonable speed, one that a genetically engineered superhuman wearing a suit of muscle-enhancing power armor could withstand.

I think I read that in the books by William King about Ragnar Blackmane.

Dreadclaws can't fly around...they're fired out in broadsides, aimed at the target, and then left to cut through the target's hull with a ring of meltas built around an airlock.

"captain, we have him boxed in, we should fire the dreadclaws"
"ok, FIRE THE DREADCLAWS"
*beeping in the background*
"captain, the dreadclaws have missed and struck our flagship"
"oh, erm, i brand you a heretic *takes out a bolt pistol* and therefore will die as an enemy of the imperium" *BANG*
