The Captain's of Dreadnoughts are chosen specially by the Inquisition and is crewed by only by the most trusted and loyal personnel so unless the fleet's Admiral has a renown of 15 or higher he may not use the Dreadnought as his flagship.

Due to it's mass blast markers do not affect the dreadnoughts movement. Another effect of it's mass is that it can only make turns slowly, to represent this it may only turn every second turn and the player must declare that the Dreadnought is changing heading and the direction of the change in the turn before he intends to turn it. 

If the Dreadnought enters a gravity well it's mass will pull it 5 cm towards the planets each end phase and upon contacting the planet/moon model it is considered to be irretrievably caught in the gravitational pull and is considered destroyed.  In the case of an Ork space hulk treat the collision as a ram on the hulk (note the dreadnought is still considered Destroyed).

Dreadnoughts carry huge stores of torpedoes and attack craft because they are often expected to operate in the deepest areas of space with little support and so they may never run out of ordinance.

Dreadnoughts are designed for special scenario's only.

You may include one Confessor class Super Dreadnought for every 3000 pt's spent on standard Naval Vessels

Designer's Note:  Most of my ships have been designed to fill gaps I have seen in the background or to make the game a little more fun, this ship is different in that I saw the conversion and I loved it so much that I had to write rules for it.  I feel it would probably unbalance the game in a normal sized fleet which is why I put the stipulations I did in the rules.  In the end however I think it'll be a lot of fun in big fleet engagements and scenario's.  Hope you enjoy it :)
