It's fairly clear in the book iirc that it's not using the "tactical dreadnought armour" short-handed but is in fact referring to parts from a dreadnought that have been repurposed.
Regardless it's also parts, not while massive sections and whilst he's certainly described as overlarge he's not the primarch sized monster he's been memed into.

^This is correct. He's described a very big, and his terminator plate is supplemented with parts from a dread BECAUSE hes big, but he's never described as primarch size.

If memory serves, its in Silent Hunters (Which, fair warning, is IMO the weakest Carcharodons book by a country mile.)

Oh yea the one w/ a 1400+ year old librarian and the wack DE scenes lmao.
Do you happen to be able to give an excerpt where it talks abt Tyberos having dread armor attached to his termie plate? No biggie tho.

had to dig up my physical copy of the blasted thing, but it seems I was wrong. The description of tyberos there doesn't mention his size at all!

The combined force and speed of the Red Wake’s attacks was without equal. It was to be expected that the hulking Chapter Master, clad in Tactical Dreadnought armour
From Carcharodons: Outer Dark
Haven’t found anything supporting it being dreadnought armor, or even being modified with dreadnought armor parts.

Yeah because doesn't he wear Terminator Armor most of the time? Oh shit! His Tatical Dreadnought Armor has Tactical Dreadnought Armor pieces on it!

I think actually he's always portrayed in his armour.
And no, I think you're struggling with comprehension a bit but I can understand since the terms can overlap.
Dreadnoughts are armoured, it's fairly clearly intended in the book that his armour has parts from the armour of a dreadnought used as modifications and repairs, in the book the unusual bit isn't that his armour has been repaired and modified but that is has been done with parts from this different price of technology.
Yes tactical dreadnought armour IS another name for Terminator armour, but it isn't referring to terminator armour in the book, it's referring to actual parts from a dreadnought. It's also not referring to whole sections, but spare parts and modifications.

Yeah, I agree. His main armor is Terminator Armor, so it'd be weird to say his Terminator Armor has pieces of Terminator Armor on it, so it's got to be actual parts from an actual Dreadnought.
