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

Product Information

A Ballistus Dreadnought of the Ultramarines Chapter, armed with a Ballistus Lascannon, a Ballistus Missile Launcher, and two twin-linked Storm Bolters.

Schematics of the Redemptor Dreadnought; the lower schematic shows the wounded Primaris Marine's cybernetic sarcophagus which is protected by the Dreadnought's armoured plate. 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. Against the same target, the six heavy bolter shots will average 0.89 wounds. You’d probably want to shoot something else with it.Dreadnoughts are often mistaken by mortal observers for huge suits of battle armour or robots; they are similar to both and yet neither. Dreadnoughts are a combination of armoured walker and cybernetic life-support system; their pilots are neurally linked straight into the Dreadnought's cybernetic systems, and are able to use the walker as if it were their own body, although they are permanently entombed within its Ceramite skin until they are destroyed. They can accelerate from a thudding stomp to a thunderous, loping gait that shakes the ground, barrelling through hails of fire in glorious defiance.

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. The Hellfire Dreadnought replaces the standard Dreadnought's Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with a Missile Launcher, trading its close combat ability for long-range, anti-vehicle firepower. The advantage of the Dreadnought's Missile Launcher over its Space Marine equivalent is that it is capable of moving at full speed whilst still laying down a barrage of missiles. Hellfire Dreadnoughts are usually referred to as Fire Support Dreadnoughts, or in many cases are given no special designation. The Hellfire Dreadnought's Missile Launcher carries up to 8 Krak Missiles that are capable of causing severe damage to enemy vehicles, and unlike the Missile Launchers carried by Space Marine infantry, the Dreadnought is fully capable of firing accurately whilst moving. The Hellfire Dreadnought is capable of replacing the twin-linked Autocannon with most Dreadnought ranged weapons, such as a set of twin-linked Lascannons. A sub-variant of the Hellfire Dreadnought, known as the Firewind Dreadnought is armed with a set of twin-linked Heavy Bolters.

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 While the upper torso is mostly complete, we begin with the legs. These are far more dynamic than the old Castraferrum pattern Dreadnoughts. You have a pelvis section with poseable hips / upper legs. Similar to the Adeptus Titanicus kits, they come with suggestions you can simply build with the tongue and grove design, but could cut those away for a more free and more dynamic pose, if you wanted to. The final parts are the shoulder pads and the carapace mounted weaponry. The later is set on a disk, so you can turn it and depending on how you assemble it you can lower or raise the barrels to your need. Any Legion Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought may replace its Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with built-in Storm Bolter with any of these options:

The Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought is the most common pattern of Dreadnought used by the Adeptus Astartes in the 41st Millennium. The following section details all known information on the Castraferrum Dreadnought. Zachorial the Destroyer ( Deathwatch) - Zachorial the Destroyer is one of the few Redemptor Dreadnoughts serving in the Deathwatch. He has had an immediate and spectacular effect on whatever mission or battle he has fought in. He has already been recorded as a hero of the Deathwatch in the annals of his watch fortress. There are several Castraferrum Dreadnought variants that are used exclusively by certain Chapters, and these Dreadnoughts are used only by these Chapters and any Successor Chapters they may have. The known Chapter-Specific Castraferrum Dreadnought variants are as follows: While it is currently only available through the Strike Force, this is a limitation only for a short amount of time and the final product is slightly more expensive than the older dreadnoughts, but with about 12 EURs difference you get a lot more of model to work with.

Space Marines.

With the exception of the small gap on the front armour, I had no problems building this kit at all and I think it a very proper move by the design department, to include all the parts you need to build both variants and keep them modular (with a bit additional work even magnetized), without forcing you to choose one of them. Any Mark IV or Mark V Castraferrum Dreadnought may replace its Multi-Melta with any of these options: Bladeguard Veteran • Veteran • Veteran Intercessor • Veteran Assault Intercessor • Sternguard Veteran • Terminator ( Assault Terminator)

The chart above shows the effect of the strike profile against various targets. You have a greater than even chance of killing a 13W dreadnought on the charge even with the damage penalty, while the T8/2+ profile vehicles are a bit harder to kill. The Brutalis still averages one dead Leman Russ per turn, but the 17W of the Rogal Dorn will only be taken out around 25% of the time. The Void Armour bonuses on the Hekaton Land Fortress give it a significant boost in resiliency when compared to the more conventional Imperial vehicles. Although not shown on the chart, on average it takes around 2 turns to kill a T8 Knight profile since they have so many wounds but no invulnerable save. Unsurprisingly the marquee models like Mortarion and Be’lakor are a significant challenge for this unit. Warhammer Community already released a post on the painted models by different artists and they did a great job, covering from camouflaged to very iconic chapter colours, all kinds of different final results. 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.

2.The Iron Hands Juggernaut

One of the more notable examples of a Venerable Dreadnought is the Space Wolves' Bjorn the Fell-Handed. He is the oldest Dreadnought currently in service in the Imperium and was once a member of the Primarch Leman Russ' personal retinue. He fought in the Horus Heresy and served as the Space Wolves' first Great Wolf when he was still whole of body. The most esteemed member of the Space Wolves, Bjorn is the only being the current Great Wolf will listen to and if necessary defer to, and is reverently woken once in each standard century. At that time, all the Space Wolves present, from the Great Wolf to the youngest Blood Claw, raptly and silently gather around the Ancient to hear him speak of their Primarch Leman Russ, and keep the Space Wolves' ancient oral tradition alive. The Brutalis Dreadnought is a close-combat counterpart to the existing Redemptor Dreadnought, though it’s not just a weapons swap – the Brutalis has additional armour plates on its hips, groin, and knees. This could mean extra Wounds or extra Toughness, though GW hasn’t provided any information about game stats yet. This, combined with the Dreadnought's own impressive unmodified strength makes the fist deadly to all, even heavily armoured foes like a Space Marine Chapter Master. Also, the Dreadnought's heavy vehicle armour means that even those that survive the initial assault can do little more than wait for the inevitable. The ranged weapons used by standard Castraferrum Dreadnoughts include Assault Cannons, Multi-meltas, twin-linked Lascannons, twin-linked Autocannons, twin-linked Heavy Bolters, twin-linked Heavy Flamers, Missile Launchers, or a Plasma Cannon. Castraferrum Dreadnoughts are also able to be outfitted with Extra Armour Plating, a Searchlight and Smoke Launchers. 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.
