The goal is to build a fun tough list with only dreads. This is what I have so far. I have a total of 10 second hand dreads. And 1 contmeptor. I have rigged them with the weapons I think are on them. I might ally in Grey knights, dread knights are Dreads too.

Suggestions welcom.

Well, I'd take Dread knights instead of the DC Dreads as they are more flexible to use (deep strike, psykers).

Dreadknights are not really dreadnoughts.

Dreadnoughts are armoured coffins. Dreadknights are exosuits.

You could put 2 Vanguard Detachments together and run 20 dreadnoughts. that would be nasty against mech armies.....against swarm armies you might flounder a bit

Space Wolves have Bjorn and Murderfang, 2 character dreads that can pack a punch. They also have venerable dreadnoughts that can take a ax and shield, thats a 3+ 4++ 6+++ dread with 4~8 attacks.
