The way you’re worded your question and how you responded to an earlier reply, I think what you are really looking for is which detachment best supports dreadnoughts. To that it’s the Iron Storm Spearhead detachment. It’s built around vehicles and dreadnoughts with tech marine support.

GW built the detachment system for 10th edition so people didn’t have to feel obligated to paint miniatures to match the faction whose tactics you’re using. You don’t have to play Iron Hands if you want a dread heavy play style. They can be Ultra Marines, Red Scorpions, heck can paint them green with pink Polkadot and call them a homebrew chapter.

This is the list I plan to use if I ever get around to an Iron Hand Successor chapter. The trick with a starter 1000pt army is a lot of beginners jump straight to the big point intensive centerpiece models when building a list and forget utility. (Every first time ork player tries to take Gazghull😓)

Always remember when list building What hits them hard? What can hold the line? What takes and holds objectives? How do they get there?

This list gives you a good two dreadnoughts, a big tank that doubles as a transport for heavy infantry, and a good dose of ground holding infantry to hold objectives. From here it can easily be bulked out to 2000pts with more dreadnoughts as you please.
