AoS I want to Dread Free ! [1500 fun list with big D ]

[Aktanolt]

Hey there ! will have a tourney in a month , 1500 points.
Glad just won a 2000 one dayer with a pretty solid list - 15 razordons, 12 teradons shadowstrike - So i want to play a little funnier while keeping a chance to win
Although i just finished my dread saurian , so want to play it !

My first attempt is this:


Allegiance: Seraphon
Slann Starmaster (260)
- General - Trait: Vast Intellect
- Artefact: Incandescent Rectrices
Skink Starpriest (80)
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
10 x Skinks (60)
- Boltspitters & Star Bucklers
3 x Razordons (120)
3 x Razordons (120)
3 x Razordons (120)
3 x Razordons (120)
Dread Saurian (420)

Total: 1480 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 10
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 103

Despite the list is ok in term of power and get that funny jurassic world vibes ( Indominus rex + 4 raptors squad since my razordons are converted ) i have so much drops .... and cant do much turn one

The core of the list is a Starpriest, a Dread saurian and a Slaan with Vast intellect to make big D huge . Although i want some skinks to use the immune battleshock ( maybe just flood board ? )
So from this, i got the option before, a pair of engine and endless, or a basic 6 rippers shadowstrike.

I'd love to have insight from players that use Dread often so i can build around his weaknesses.

Have a nice day fellow lizards !

is that extra command points a typo? if not, where are you getting 10 starting CP from?

His app tool is set for 2k and he only used 1480. So, sorta yes?

Always wanted to use a dread and still never done so (that and I’m so scared to start painting him lol)

If/when you use him make sure to tell us how it went

Sadly I’m thinking he won’t be quite as useful as you imagine - 1 he is sooo sooo damn big that he will get stuck moving anywhere and two he’s sooo sooo damn big that he will get attacked a lot (pretty sure any opponent would see him and think hmmm probably should kill that)
Probably best to make him fly so he can get about a little easier
On that note I’d add ripper/dactyls for the same reason (they can fly over him rather than sit behind waiting for him to chew his way through stuff)
