So both lists have 11 Dreadnoughts in them, which is the most you can possibly fit in any list outside of Apocalypse.

If you want in the 2500 pt list you can drop the Drop-pods from the Death Company Dreads and then take magna-grapples or better weapons on the Heavy Support Dreadnoughts or heavy flamers throughout the list. Just mess around with it. But now you know it can be done.
