Games Workshop Warhammer 40k: Space Marines - Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought

Product Information

So with the heavy bolters the expected value against the target is 13.24 wounds, while with the multi-meltas the cumulative expected value is 18.46 or a 39% increase. Assuming you want to specialize your Brutalis towards killing big targets, the multi-meltas are worth the points.

The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought was once a staple of the armoured might of the Space Marine Legions first raised on Terra following the end of the Unification Wars. Evidence of their ancient origins exist in the forms of sacred Chapter memento mori and other ancient Imperial monuments raised on worlds such as Necromunda and Lorin Alpha. This suggests that the Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought played an integral part in the earliest Astartes forces raised on Terra for the Great Crusade. The majority of Dreadnoughts in use by the Space Marines conform to the pattern known as the Castraferrum, of which the Mars Castraferrum Pattern Mark IV and Mark V are the most common. In appearance, the Castraferrum is very different from other types of Dreadnought, very few of which exist outside of the stasis-sealed reliquary chambers of the Adeptus Astartes. The Ironclad Dreadnought is a standard Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought that has been optimised specifically for close combat. It possesses reinforced Ceramite plating on the front of its shell and can be equipped with multiple different weapons intended to aid in melee combat. Ironclad Dreadnoughts are usually armed with a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with an under-slung Storm Bolter, Heavy Flamer, or Meltagun, and a Seismic Hammer. These Dreadnoughts can also be armed with a Hurricane Bolter or a Dreadnought Chainfist which is nothing less than a Dreadnought-sized Chainfist. They can also be equipped with up to two Hunter-Killer Missile Launchers and the specialised Ironclad Assault Launcher that fires different types of grenades. These Dreadnoughts are used by many Astartes Chapters for close-combat situations and during sieges, although it is not as effective as the Siege Dreadnought. Space Wolves' Dreadnought - The Space Wolves' Dreadnought is a variant of the Castraferrum Dreadnought used only by the Space Wolves Chapter. Within each Space Wolves' Dreadnought's adamantium shell lie the remains of an honoured hero of the Chapter, broken in body but not in mind. Many of the Space Wolves' Dreadnoughts contain venerable heroes of legend, warriors who have taken to the field of battle in Leman Russ' name for thousands of standard years, their wisdom as deep as the ocean and their intuition as sharp as a Fenrisian kraken's teeth. Regardless of his history, each warrior entombed in a Dreadnought is determined to wage war against the enemies of their primarch until Morkai finally claims his due. The Dreadnoughts of the Space Wolves are sometimes armed with strange and fantastical weapons used only by the Space Wolves, such as Helfrost Cannons, Blizzard Shields and Fenrisian Great Axes.

The box contains the biggest Intercessors, it gives the other Primaris the biggest guns, it has the biggest Primaris dreadnought, and it even gives the Primaris Lieutenant a bigger fist. Whether or not these options are actually good is something we’ll take a look at in this article.

While we had our last review covering a Dreadnought last year as part of our Horus Heresy Age of Darkness coverage with the Contemptor Dreadnought plastic kit, today we want to cover the new Space Marine Brutalis Dreadnought, available from today via the Strike Force Agastus.Dreadnought ( Castraferrum Dreadnought • Siege Dreadnought • Hellfire Dreadnought • Ironclad Dreadnought • Venerable Dreadnought • Mortis Dreadnought • Chaplain Dreadnought • Librarian Dreadnought • Furioso Dreadnought • Death Company Dreadnought • Redemptor Dreadnought ( Brutalis Dreadnought • Ballistus Dreadnought) • Wulfen Dreadnought • Doomglaive Dreadnought) • Nemesis Dreadknight • Invictor Tactical Warsuit Smashing the Emperor’s enemies apart with giant metal fists is about as fun as it gets in the 41st Millennium, but do you know how you can have twice as much fun? Simple, have twice as many fists . And now that the Chapter foundries of the Space Marines have discovered this blessed truth, Strike Force Agastus comes with a shiny new Brutalis Dreadnought. During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy the Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnoughts of the Legiones Astartes featured many more loadout options than those of the 41st Millennium. Doomglaive Dreadnought - The Doomglaive Dreadnought is one of the rarest and most advanced Dreadnought variants in Imperial service and is used exclusively by the Grey Knights Chapter, the secret Chapter of Space Marine psykers that serves as the Chamber Militant of the Inquisition's Ordo Malleus. The Doomglaive Dreadnought, like all Grey Knights Astartes, makes use of the Aegis, a complex network of protective prayers, runes and other wards which are inscribed into the chassis of an Doomglaive Dreadnought and psychically charged to provide better protection from the sorcerous powers of Daemons and the other servants of Chaos. While an Doomglaive Dreadnought is a fearsome opponent to face on the battlefield, the Doomglaive Dreadnought can provide more than just fire support to his Battle-Brothers, he is also able to support them with enhanced psychic defences. This is possible as a result of the psyber-circuitry that is incorporated into the Doomglaive Dreadnought's sarcophagus and which can link its own Aegis field to the psychic defences deployed by nearby Grey Knights Battle-Brothers, thus creating a series of reinforced psychic wards that is much stronger than what individual Grey Knights can project on their own.
