Trying to create a dread heavy army that doesn't suck. Clan Raukaan can take dreadnoughts as heavy support, splitting them up seems like a good way to help deal with getting tartrapped. The Techmarine is going to hangout in the Land Raider which most likely be close to the dreadnoughts allowing max benefit from the ironstone. The goal is to have flexible army that able to engage any army without being totally being countered. Thoughts as what this army may struggle against the most?

Mass scat-bikes out of eldar could definitely be a problem, as you have pretty much total AV12. I would recommend splitting up the heavy support dreadnoughts, is there any reason why they're together??

Missilesides might give you trouble too, as mass S7 seems like it would spell doom for you.

Maybe run the flamers on some dreads, and replace with ML's on say 4, and run assault cannons on the other 4 over las, just to diversify your firepower a little.

Seems fun though, I would love to play a list like this... but cant justify buying 8 dreads

Frankly speaking you have a pretty hefty number of problems here. Your dreads equipment is schizo - a heavy flamer and a las cannon don't belong together. They're also hoofing it, which means there's about a 0% chance more than 1 or 2 ever see CC. The Land Raider Redeemer is also entirely out of place - it has no unit to deliver, and doesn't really bring anything to the list as a whole. You can spam dreads, sure, it'll never win you tournaments but you can do okay and have fun with it. You'll want to consider how you can factor in drop pods to bring in horde clearing dreads - ideally Ironclads. Your longer range anti tank types can hoof it, but load them out either with a missile launcher to go with that autocannon or keep the storm bolter so they at least get extra shooting against non-tank targets.

I get what you're going for in concept with the tech in the land raider, but it just ain't gonna do much. Your AV 12 dreads will likely get smoked before the IWND matters.

tl;dr - fit in Ironclads, find delivery mechanisms, and dump the raider.

I think you should do drop pod iron clads if you wanted to do all dreads. av 13 is much more important.
