So the new planet strike force org chart I have been led to believe allows for double the amount of elites and heavy support. If that is correct then as I see it with the addition of a Forge master you will be able to field 12 dreads in 1 marine army. I hope this is correct, as a massive dread fan I am chomping at the bit to have such an army. Maybe not quite online with fluff but who cares. Please correct me if I am wrong, but if I am right then my bank account is gonna take a hit.

If that's true.. I think I almost have that many dread <_< at least 9 I can see.

just phoned GW to confirm my theory which they confirmed. But not clue on when the ironclad is coming. But still 12 DREADNOUGHTS 1 ARMY. it may suck but who cares YAY. I actually think of could be the marine version of a nidzilla army and will rock hard. I'm 33 and giggling like a school girl at the potential.

cool, but not really worth buying models for unless youve already got them.

Based on the rumors I've heard and the force org chart in the teaser video, Attackers will have 6 elite and 6 fast attack slots, and HQs are non compulsary, while defenders have 6 heavy weapon slots. By my count you'll only be able to field 9, as either the attacker or defender.

actually it's the troops choices which are non-compulsory so you can have a terminator commander and 6 squads of terminators with no need to buy tactical squads
or
you could have a whole bike army without having to pant them all as white scars

so yes, lots and lots of dreads in 1 army however it is 6 elite, 6 fast attack and only 3 heavy support so you can't have 12, still lots, just not 12

Actually, you can already do that anyway.

What'll be really fun is that I believe the rumours indicate that attackers automatically gain deep strike on every unit, saving marines points on drop pods. (Not to mention for the deep striking land raider cheese :P)

That's right, it's the troops that are non-compulsory. I don't know what I was thinking.
