In the marine army list there are Dreadnaughts and Dreadnoughts. Are the Dreadnaughts just extra naughty dreads or what's the deelio?

they are extra naughty, of course. I only take Dreadnaughts  :vD

Just a typo, methinks. Part of trying to give the units slightly different names due to possible legal issues with GW, I would guess.

cheers sanjuro

The lure of Slaanesh can be found everywhere... you must be ever vigilant.

Isn't Dreadnaught a class of WWI Battleship? ...I always thought so, but my memory has a short life span before corruption at the best of times.

You must always watch these types of misunderstandings... they can be catastrophic...

Pre-WW I, actually. HMS Dreadnought was launched in 1906.

Yep, and that ship outclassed everything else around at the time so thoroughly that it started an arms race with Germany.
