So I've been hankering to play with all of the many dreadnoughts I own (I may have a problem) and managed to squeeze most of them into a list with a three squads of scouts. Have played a few games now and it has actually performed pretty well. Puts out huge firepower that is good vs lots of targets and has solid melee threats that people don't want to mess with.

One thing I've noticed though is that my scouts are always gone turn 1 -2 without fail, they don't really do anything other than give my opponent something to do with their anti infantry fire.

So that being the case I've knocked up a new list that packs in an additional dreadnought and dispenses with those pesky troop, the main loss is the 4 CP I lose from dropping from a battalion but this list isn't CP hungry so the 5 should suffice.
