Just a crazy idea, but I think it's fairly practical. Fluff wise it might be a bit whimsical... but here goes.
Whats stopping C: SM from applying the techno virus that cause the Obliterator mutation to a Dreadnaught? Supposedly they don't think highly of their Dreadnaughts so regard to their fallen brother certainly shouldn't be an issue. And the Dreadnaught does have a flesh and blood body that can be infected withing its sarcofogus.... Heck, whats stopping some one from emplanting additional bodies (servitors?) on the dreadnaught to feed the virus further?
Personally, I plan on doing such a conversion. It'll be a long while since all my modeling stuff is a couple thousand miles away at the moment though... Just moved from Europe to the Middle East.... ><;;
Such a model would have to come with a homebrew set of rules. I was thinking that it acting more like a whole squad of 3 Oblits together. Acts as a model with toughness instead of walking machine, 6 wound base and the rest of the same stat line as an Oblit. Can fire three shots of the same weapon type a turn. As it looses wounds it looses the ability to shoot by a certain amount. Say after 3 wonds it can only fire two shots, and when its down to 2 wounds left it can only fire one shot.
C/C?
Thanks.
