Playing a Dreadnought/Dark Heresy character in Deathwatch

By fleshbearer, in Deathwatch Gamemasters

My devastator has heroically died one too many times and I qualify for being a Dreadnought. I plan, however, to have a non-Dreadnought 'backup' character for times when he is not needed. It seems interesting for him NOT to be a Space Marine but to be roughly competitive with a space marine (a highly advanced Dark Heresy character, for example). Has anyone got any ideas/dire warnings about a) making a dreadnought, b) making a very high level dark heresy character?
