The lights are on
Relic just tweeted the image you see here with the text, "We have a big metal surprise coming to @SpaceMarine in January – Merry Christmas from Relic!".
Assorted message boards seem pretty convinced that this means a future update will feature the Dreadnought at some capacity. According to the Warhammer 40.000 Wikia, "When the greatest of their number fall in battle and they are experienced enough to be considered invaluable to their Chapter, then their body will be repaired and transferred into the armoured cybernetic sarcophagus of a Dreadnought if there is even a spark of life left in them."
I'm not entirely sure how that will be implemented into gameplay, but it sounds pretty cool to me.

No chaos dreadnought :(
Too bad there are none of the blood angels flying librarian dreadnoughts.
"Finally, back to war..."
wonder if youll get to drive it
Not enough Black Templars in the picture.
Sweetness!! I can't wait to see how they work this into the game. I am woundring if they are going to do what Bioshock 2 did in it's vs and let you become one. Anyway sweetness lol
That's a pretty cool screenshot, looking forward to see what's going to happen. On the other hand, please release Torchlight 2!
The armored hull of ceaseless war. The greatest veterans of an incomprehensible amount of wars fought throughout the galaxy are who now reside in the mechanical walk of warfare. Dreadnoughts are unstoppable behemoths of carnage (except on tabletop where lascannons pick them off by round two).
Amazing, I was saddened by the lack of lightning claws and powerfists in the retail release, but a Dreadnought makes up for it, surely.
Thats total badarse
