I have recently bought an Imperial armour 8 book looking for the rules of the meka dread. When I found the rules, I could not find the type on the force organisation chart. I found the rules for it on the dread mob list (Heavy Support) but no Info for using it in the normal ork list.
It is in the section later in the book. Under dreads and Kans. And it says the meka dread may be taken in the normal ork dex, but you must take another mega dread.
I guess it is heavy support?
Or is it a dreadmob/apoc only unit?

I talked to Forge World about this, and the Meka Dread takes up an HQ slot.

The Mega Dread was previously published in IA:A2 and is listed as heavy support.

Thanks for feedback.
