Total: 981pts -Meltabombs? xD

the plan is to castle up and advance, the flamers and fists should make it an uninviting enough charge; while missiles target heavy targets and the fragstorms and heavy gatling cannons deal with infanty...

thanks in advance,
GamerGuy

The flamers can be useless for overwatch, since most alpha strike units make a 9 inch charge you can't use it for overwatch.

Definitely have a lieutenant, that wound re roll bubble is worth its points in gold. i have a small dreadnought list as well just for fun games.

Here is my 1000 points list for dreads:

Sternguards and tacticals are in the shadows so I can place them outside of the deployment zone.

It's hard to say as you mentionwd it's a multiplayer event, but I would say if you going to go for a dreadnaught/armoured army go hard into it and scrub all the power armour, as they will take every anti infatry shot coming your way and probably be toast in 1st or 2nd turn.

Put a squad in a razorback if you have objectives you have to take otherwise go all armour and over tax theire tank hunting firepower.

Good advice lads; and thanks for the Ravens list... will sleep on it and reconsider in the morning
