Pods for CC dreads definately...shooty dreads?...find a lane of fire on the table you want them to defend and then set them in cover to where they can still have LOS to their designated spot but yer opponent doesn't have LOS to them

...and definately take smoke and extra armor for them...and then just pray yer opponent doesn't have an arty barrage which is always worked out against yer rear armor....
