Aye mates!!
I´ve been playing fantasy battle for over 13 years for a now and now starting to play with Chaos in 40k.
My question is about dreadnoughts.
Im going to include two of them and im wondering how to equip them...
i quess i dont have too much weapons to deal with very heavy stuff???
Also if i only have one in smaller game, how should i equip it then??
Just ot let you know basic idea is to advance very quickly with rhino with berzerkers in it and then when near to assault and deep strike terminators in to take down tanks and such.
So my list includes
HQ:
Daemon prince/terminator sorcerer
troop:
9 thousand sons
rhino
10 berzerkers
rhino
elite:
5 teminator chmpions wif chainfists
dreadnouhgt
dreadnought
fast:
6 raptors
All help much appreciated
peace

If you REALLY want to include Dreadnaughts, give them two CC weapons as Demetrius suggested. But I wouldn't bother with them at all, they're quite underpowered and the models leave a lot to be desired (but there are rumours of a second wave with, among other releases, new Dreadnaughts).
Count them:
Painted in 2013: 500
Painted in 2014: 600
Painted in 2015: 854

Dreadnoughts and thousand sons are the reason i started with 40K so no problem if they aint the best there is for points.

I recommend the CC units way. If not that, then the multimelta, if the Chaos Dreads have the option (don't recall, and I've lent my codex out). Your list's biggest weakness there is antitank.
Also: Chainfists are overkill. You are always attacking rear armor, so just plain old powerfist will do for everything but Land Raiders. Save yourself the points and take all P-fists and maybe one chainfist, if you expect to see a lot of LRs.

if your going to have 2 dreads then i would equip 1 with plasma cannon and autocannon and the other with 2 CC weapons
but make sure you sit them at each edge of your army when its deployed caus i you accidentally roll a 1 or 6 then your stuffed but otherwise thay should wreak some havoc
have a good one

If you ever need anything, please dont hesitate to ask someone else first.
