my question, Are Dreadnaughts to much of a liability in a Black Templar army?
Looking back (after all hindsight is 20/20) I think Dread's are a completely viable unit for the Black Templar's. Having experimented with Drop-pods, multiple dreads, differnet weapon configs and different Oppenents, I've come to the conculsion that Dreads are effective in most situation, sure some Dumd bad luck can turn them into scaps of metal, but when your Dread brings Down a monolith on turn1 it brings a tear to your eye.

Thanks to everyone who posted!
