The 40k version of the rules say it can take a dreadnought drop pod, not the regular drop pod. 50 pts, not 35.

it says it can purchase a Dreadnought Drop Pod as a dedicated transport. The regular Drop Pod says it can fit a Dreadnought of any type. The Leviathan Dreadnought is a Dreadnought of any type.

Not to be that guy, but RAW you're right.

What you're missing is that, RAW, it lacks the ability to purchase a regular drop pod. So sort of like how a tactical squad can fit into a land raider, but can't purchase one as a dedicate transport.

Ahhh I understand now.

So, I'm supposed to be afraid of you spending half your points on a dread + transport that can kill one cheap MSU unit a turn, and get tarpitted by anything with more than 4-5 wounds? Please, bring this spectacular waste of points every game.

Against MSU maybe not so good. Against an mc or gmc then you have something. The Severing Cut rule is just about the only rule that gets around eternal warrior. In 30k this thing is a primarch killer.
