:-pĬhaos do get drop pods in the form of dreadclaws or kharybdis assault claws from forge world. but you can't, and after your tenth demoralizing loss in a row, you realize Dreads are cool as hell, and are also utterly useless in competitive 40k right now.
IF IF IF you could take Lucius Pods with every Dread then it would fare somewhat better. In an edition where close-combat is terribly hard to get into outside of amazing units or death-stars, you also have the innate weakness of being a vehicle, and going to gak the minute you take a pen that results in almost anything (cleaving attacks from you, or worse, stopping you in your tracks). The buffs to their attacks are meaningless, as Dreads, aside from the ONE you get in on a Lucius Pod (they're relics so you can only ever have one), they will be dead/immobilized before even seeing combat. I've spent the last six month running variants of Dread armies, and as fun as they are as a concept, they are abysmal and will fold against literally any competitive army you face. With that in mind, it would be inconvenient to have to run multiple detachments that are different armies, but I'm not opposed to just starting a whole new army either I suppose. Ideally, it would be all from one codex, since I'm planning on just adding a few dreads to my existing World Eater dreads to make the whole army, so this whole deal will be "counts as" most likely. Any other types of movement shenanigans to get them where they need to go? (For example, World Eaters dreads now always re-roll charge distances) Are Lucius Drop Pods mandatory, or can regular pods suffice? Space Wolf Ven Dreads get the Shield for a 3++, is that better than AV13 in most cases, at the expense of losing a gun? Is it worth being stuck with regular Marines to get Ironclads over Furiosos? With all that being said, what are the best ways to run an all dread army, or what are some good support for a mostly dread army? Chaos also has ways to get Obsec dreads, at the cost of some taxes in the Warband formation, but Chaos lacks the drop pods. I know Space Wolves and Blood Angels can run all dread armies, but I really feel like I'd be missing on out the AV13 Ironclads from regular marines. Now that dreads have 4 attacks base across the board, all varieties, I'm trying to decide what the best way to run them is.
