Dreads will start on the board most of the time and sprint at the enemy popping smoke on the first turn...ready to shoot/charge on turn 2 supported by any terminators that deepstruck in front of them.

I'm thinking start 2 DW squads on the board (escorting the dreads), DW assaulting 2(sticking your FNP one in the enemies face), leaving only a single squad in actual "reserves".

It also reduces nicely to 1850 for ease of collection.

May playtest this a bit on Vassal....

LEt us know how this works out for you. I have attempted similar builds (pre-FAQ, of course). At 2,500 points, are you looking at adding Land Raiders?
