Blood Angels have dreads for the Elite, Troop, and Heavy support slots. You could put 9 dreads in 1 army for about 2000 points i think.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

I was told by a redshirt that there is an IA volume that has rules for you to take an all dread army, with HQ dreads, dread squadrons of 3 for troops, venerables for elite and ironclads for heavy.
Sounds very cool, but very expensive.

You can fit six in a standard army of Codex Marines, which is about all I ever really thought I'd need.

There are plenty of chapters with plenty of dreadnoughts, but I don't think there is a chapter that specializes in them. In a vanilla SM codex, including a Master of the Forge in your army is enough fluff to pack your army full of dreads IMO, using a particular chapter is irrelevant because almost all of them could field them in high numbers.

Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee. |

I would love to see the look on my opponents face when I deploy this army:
Librarian (shield, rage)
(10) Death Co. squad
drop pod
235
Death Co. Dread w/ blood talons
drop pod
160
Death Co. Dread w/ blood talons
drop pod
160
(3) Furioso Dreads
(2) w/ blood fists and (1) w/ frag launcher
(3) drop pods
480
(3) "rifleman" Dreads
w/ TL autocannons
360
Comes out to 1495 points. Probably not very competitive, but man would it be fun!

Illegal list, You need 5 Death Company Marines for every Death Company Dread.

Hmm it shows he has 10 DC, and 2 DCDreads, looks legal.
I have played against that army many times, it was something like
Librarian
2 DC
2 Blood Talon DC Dread
2 Furioso with Blood Fists and Magna Grapple
1 Furioso with Blood Talons
1 Redeemer
1 Storm Raven
and Drop pods dunno how many.....
The only thing Im able to kill is the storm raven,
then the psyfflemans shoot my transports to death.
Then my infantry gets shredded by multiple blood talon dreads.

I almost have the models to try that, just need more autocannon arms. But I'm sure I could proxy for a friendly game

There always has to be a first.... You should give them a shot, it makes for an awsome looking army that doesn't stand much in the way of a chance at victory. You'd be interested in IA 10 for the rules.
