Always wanted to do a dreadnaught list as they're just my favourite thing in 40k just never got round to it. Just theory crafted this and was hoping to get some feedback before i finalise it and buy everything. Not bothered about it being crazy competive or expecting to win tournaments but be cool to hear some suggestions or criticisms.

Ignore warlord traits and relics just picked some so the app notifications would go away.

You could consider a Patrol + Vanguard detachment list. It would cost you 3 CP, but you could take up to 8 Elites, and only need to take 1 Troop.
Losing 2 squads of Intercessors would be another Dread for points.

Definitely something to consider as it'll leave me with enough room for another redemptor. Only issue is that I would only have 5 cp and I've not even looked into pregame stratagems yet either.
