the idea with this army list is to use the dread noughts as distractions while the rest of my army goes after objectives
the thing i love about this list is that all i have to deploy is my hq and the fact that i only loose the game if i have nothing on the field for a game turn means that i dont have to worrie so much about field presence to keep me in the game i also did this list to try and get all 6 dreadnoughts on the field on the same turn id doesn't matter that dreadnoughts are crapper now but having 6 in your face turn 1 will atleast disrupt your lines for a few turns.

So what do you think

This list interests me I would worry about fliers though. Let us know if you test it out. You may have trouble with fast armies as well but they'll have trouble with your armor.

I'll have to ignore flyers and hope the six melta and flamers are enough to to damage enough of the fast parts of my enemies army to hopefully slow him down a bit

How are you getting 6 pods to drop turn 1?

Because he's got 12 in total, and gets half on the first turn as per the Drop Pod Assault rule.
