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

Product Information

Another six damage left the Dreadnought on just one wound, but this was all it needed to tear the monster’s head clean off But the Tyranid rolled a six for its Death Throes , resulting in a glorious double KO. While the armour panels had a bit of trouble to be properly aligned (and created a small gap on the upper edge), the upper front armour isn't glued, but again kept in place by friction and can be lowered and raised, giving access to the sarcophagus. This comes in two different designs. Both rather Codex Astartes compliant, so you can use these with a vast variety of chapters and use the armour panels on the left and right for specific insignia (or charms, trophies etc.).

A Hellfire Dreadnought of the Mantis Warriors Chapter armed with a twin-linked Autocannon and a Missile Launcher. A trio of Ultramarines Dreadnoughts provide covering fire, including, from left to right, a Castraferrum Dreadnought, a Venerable Dreadnought and an Ironclad Dreadnought. Of course, the design is almost identical to the Redemptor, but I like the symmetry that the melee arms bring, and the additional armour on the thighs and knees. I’m still not a fan of the bulbous shape of the “torso”, and the way the chassis weapons’ barrels extrude, but Primaris fans will certainly get their money’s worth here. Close combat oriented chapters will get a nice new toy to play with. Desolation Marines reviewThe Ballistus Dreadnought is a variant of the standard Redemptor Dreadnought that serves the Adeptus Astartes as a fearsome ranged weapons platform armed with a versatile Ballistus Missile Launcher capable of unleashing Frag and Krak Missiles and a devastating Twin-linked Lascannon, the perfect counter to heavily armoured enemy monsters and tanks. The unhallowed and dreaded Lucifer Pattern Dreadnought is one of the oldest patterns of Dreadnought known to current Imperial savants. There exists little information on the Lucifer Pattern, with only vague descriptions implying that the armour configuration of the Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought is far more to the fore than on the Lucifer. Aggressor Squad • Desolation Squad • Devastator Squad • Hellblaster Squad • Eradicator Squad • Eliminator Squad • Infernus Squad • Centurion Devastator Squad The Space Marines encased within Dreadnoughts are often thousands of Terran years old. As a result of their great age, many Dreadnoughts, known as Venerable Dreadnoughts, are not only approached by their battle-brothers for support in combat, but also as advisors in the governance of their Chapter. Oddly, the Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought released by Games Workshop is similar in design to the standard Mark V Dreadnought (save for the Space Wolves tokens and possessing a metal blister instead of plastic), while the "generic" Venerable Dreadnought is an ornately decorated war machine.

The Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought comes as 109 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 90mm Round base and a transfer sheet. 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 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 Mortis Dreadnought is a variant of the standard Imperial Dreadnought and is most commonly found the armouries of the Dark Angels Chapter and their Unforgiven Successor Chapters. The Mortis Pattern differs from all other Dreadnought variants, except for the Hellfire Dreadnought, that makes use of two long-range weapon arms. These Dreadnoughts make use of two sets of long-range weapons that are always the same, these weapons include sets of twin-linked Lascannons, twin-linked Autocannons, twin-linked Heavy Bolters, or two Missile Launchers. The Mortis Dreadnought is capable of laying down a tremendous amount of firepower upon a target, and since the Dreadnought's body is such a stable firing platform it can continue moving while firing accurately.

Venerable Dreadnought

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. Bladeguard Veteran • Veteran • Veteran Intercessor • Veteran Assault Intercessor • Sternguard Veteran • Terminator ( Assault Terminator) Marius (Ultramarines) - Marius is an Ultramarines Redemptor Dreadnought who has served in the Indomitus Crusade since its earliest days. This led him to gain significant strategic insight, which he and his fellow Redemptor Dreadnought Indomator provided to the strike force of Lieutenant Cassian as they fought the crusade's enemies. During that time Indomator successfully aided the strike force in defeating the flesh-cults of the world of Knossa in the Imperium Nihilus and the Death Guard warband of the Lord of Contagion Gurloch. A Devastator Squad costs 23 points per model and has a huge number of heavy options. A unit can carry up to four grav cannons, heavy bolters, lascannons, missile launchers (with frag and krak options), a multi-melta (for a 10 point premium), or a plasma cannon. 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.
