===Fast Attack===
*'''Icelus Dreadnought'''
The Icelus is the iconic dreadnought for the Emperor's Nightmares, it can kill just about any sort of target.  With the default loadout, it can plink with a sniper rifle, then wade in with six attacks on the charge that reroll wounds.  Also, since it counts as a monstrous creature and has Furious Charge by default, it will have an average penetration roll of 13.  It can take a variety of heavier weapons in order to lose its Nimble rules, a tradeoff acceptable for some.  A Relic Blade or Thunder Hammer/Stormshield can be quite effective, spelling near-instant death for characters and tanks alike.  Notably, for each Techmarine you take, one Icelus Dreadnought counts as troops.  Typically, an Icelus can move 11" a turn, possibly charging 18", seeing as it can reroll the Fleet dice.  Considering you can infiltrate 12" away, this puts you in easy charge range, even with cover.  To add to the rapetrain nature of the Iceluses, taking 2 Masters of the Forge and 3 Techmarines can mean that you can have a grand total of 8 Icelus Dreadnoughts.  This is an incredibly potent alphastrike, the downside being that the T4(6)[Fuck that noise, 6e means it's T6 straight] nature of an Icelus means they're walking missile/powerfist bait.  TL;DR, Icelus Dreads are useful for nearly everything.
