Points level, upgrades, anything?
This isn't a 40k Army list. This is just a list of units...

AS it is, it won't work. You have 25 foot DC..... You have lots of Dreads, but all working and no long range weaponry.

I was in to much of a hurry to list that stuff. I'm just pointing out that an all dread army is possible

Oh we know it is possible this isnt the first time a list like this was posted now lets see some points and upgrades because what you dont want dc being useless maybe take astorath to split up the dc.

Furiosos with blood talons is a total win

You could turn this into a 2500 list. What you have listed is 2115.

Astorath is unnecessary, as you are taking 5 Troops with the DC Dreads, so you have to take one big, stupid unit of DC.

You must be aware that this army would be terrible, right? The DC Dreads are going to run around like violent chickens along with the DC, so half your army is uncontrollable, and slow to boot. You absolutely must run two Librarians with Shield if you want to do this, so you can at least give everything cover. Your opponent will start as far back as possible and shoot you to pieces, so you need to get cover to have any chance.

You'll probably want to give the Furiosos Magna-Grapples and upgrade the shooting weapons on the regular Dreads as well to give you some long-range firepower.

The reason I suggested Astorath is so that you dont have 25 angry chickens in 1 unit.

He doesn't have any choice. You can take up to 6 Troops. Each DC Dread is one choice, and he's taking five, so he only has one slot left for the actual DC.

Put the Libby dreads in Pods with Lance, and give the Furiosos Magna Grapples and Pods.

Win.

How is this?

2 twn auto cannons are always nice

dc dreads dont need grapples because they are meant to eat infantry.

We had an 8 dread BA DP army play in our last local RTT. He did well but couldn't seal the deal on the top tables. He finally succumbed in an objective mission when his two small troops choices that can hold objectives were killed off and the last objective was too high in a building to reach by turn 6 to contest it.

So some vanguard veterans would work nicely?

P.s. What are rifleman dreads as I wanted to add some of them?

I'm not a BA player - do you need to take DC to take DC Dreads as troops?

You need to take 5 dc to take a dc dread (15 dc means 3dc dreads so one and so forth).
