Some HQ's allow you to choose a unit that is not usually a troop choice as a troop choice. Big Meks allow a Deff Dreads as a troop. What are they considered? Do they become a troop or are they still considered to be the type they would normally be chosen as?

They become troops, in your example the deff dreads will become troops for the purposes of force organisation and could capture objectives, at least if they weren't vehicles, so don't do an ork army with deff dreads as your only troops lol.

Have a page number I can reference since I seem blind about this?

There is no page reference needed.
The Mek has a rule that says Deff Dreads can be fielded as troops therefore they will count as both Walker and Troop for game purposes.

Although i dont see how taking deff dreads instead of Boyz has any point since walkers cant capture objectives due to being vehicles IIRC.

It frees up Heavy Support slots, so you can take more Battlewagons.
Or more Dredds, 5 is better than 3.

Ah alright didnt think of that.

Yes the Dreads are a more assault choice but with a Warboss you could choose Nobz or Meganobz and taking a point from a kitted unit of meganobz is going to more work than it's worth.
