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

Product Information

A second Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with a built-in Storm Bolter (This is not a standard loadout as it removes the Dreadnought's ability to engage targets at range.) Just as the original Redemptor Dreadnought, this kit is made of three medium size sprues and comes on an 80mm round base. Note that this kit doesn’t share any sprues with the Redemptor, so no upgrade sprue, it’s an all new kit. The Brutalis has the the following assembly options: Redemptor Dreadnoughts are giant war engines that crush bone and splinter skulls as they bludgeon through the enemy ranks. Taller, broader and more cunningly wrought than the Dreadnoughts of traditional design, these goliaths of battle are powered by hyper-dense Plasma Reactors and sophisticated fibre bundles.

The Hammerfall Bunker is already armed with superfrag and superkrak missiles, so we know what they’re going to be like: superfrag fires 2d6 shots per round while superkrak is a Heavy 2, Strength 10 anti-tank weapon. Depending on points cost, these should be a terrifying addition to ranged Space Marines *cough* Iron Hands *cough*. The fists are supported by storm bolters on each fist, and again here, don't glue everything together, just the build groups, you'll see why further below. 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. 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. The Ultramarines Redemptor Dreadnought is extremely efficient; you’ll be able to make maximum use of both your shooting and melee weapons by charging into combat, then gunning down your opponents with the full force of your weapons.Any Mark IV or Mark V Castraferrum Dreadnought may replace its Multi-Melta with any of these options: In the 41st Millennium there exist few examples of Dreadnought patterns beyond the Castraferrum pattern, with the more advanced Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts being an extremely rare sight. Other patterns, such as the Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought and Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnought are even rarer, with very few examples known to still exist, only to be unleashed from a Chapter's armoury during the times of greatest desperation. The Siege Dreadnought is designed exclusively for assaults against fortified positions. Some Space Marine Chapters have equipped their armoured Dreadnought Battle-Brothers to siege fortresses and lead their assaults upon other fortified enemy emplacements. They are equipped with either an Inferno Cannon or a Flamestorm Cannon for clearing out enemy infantry from bunkers and an Assault Drill arm for grinding through Ferrocrete in only a matter of seconds. This arm also usually includes a built-in Heavy Flamer so that once a hole has been drilled, the Dreadnought can pour super-heated Promethium into a bunker or pill box complex. Siege Dreadnoughts are specialised units and are only deployed when a Chapter needs to break through a stubborn static defence line or during close quarters street-to-street fighting within a city or town. A Siege Dreadnought's standard weapons loadout includes an Inferno Cannon, an Assault Drill with built-in Heavy Flamer, Smoke Launchers, a Searchlight and reinforced Ceramite Armour. In some cases the Inferno Cannon can be replaced with a Multi-melta, and two Hunter-Killer Missile Launchers can be attached using external sponsons to the Dreadnought's carapace. The Brutalis has two different close combat variants, talons and fists. Once again, don't glue everything just now. The fingers / claws are posable to a certain degree on both variants.

However, the Br The heavy armour on the chest replete with flat surfaces and sharp lines, perfect for adding transfers and detail of the Redemptor Dreadnought can be modelled to pivot open, showing the sarcophagus interred within. The adventurous hobbyist can remove the pegs from the waist, arms and legs of the model too, allowing for a greater range of posing options. Malcades ( Ultramarines) - Malcades was a Redemptor Dreadnought in service to the Ultramarines Chapter who was the first Primaris Space Marine to fall in battle in the Realm of Ultramar during the Indomitus Crusade. After being placed within the shell of a Redemptor Dreadnought, he fought in the Plague Wars on the Ultramaran world of Espandor against the forces of Nurgle. Various other parts of the kit are just kept in place by friction or kept moveable, to please pay attention to this. For example, the lower front armour panel in front of the sarcophagus can be lowered and raised, so you only glue the handle but not the "lip".

After pounding the foe with heavy weapons, warriors advance to lay down a hail of bolter fire before charging forth with chainswords roaring to finish the foe.If every unit from your army has the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword (excluding AGENT OF THE IMPERIUM and UNALIGNED units), this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which Combat Doctrine is active for your army. During the first battle round, the Devastator Doctrine is active for your army. From the second battle round onwards, at the start of the battle round, you can change which Combat Doctrine is active for your army, as follows:

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. Larger and more imposing than even a regular dreadnought, the Redemptor is piloted by a near dead Primaris Marine. A war machine of fearsome reputation, it carries an array of weaponry to bring death to the enemies of the Emperor. A top, an Ultramarines Brutalis Dreadnought armed with Brutalis Fists and their built-in, wrist-mounted, twin-linked Bolt Rifles, twin-linked Icarus Ironhail Heavy Stubbers and two Heavy Bolters; at bottom left a closer look at the Brutalis Dreadnought's Brutalis Fists, and at bottom right a closer look at a Brutalis Dreadnought's Icarus Ironhail Heavy Stubbers and two carapace-mounted Multi-Meltas.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. Once again quantity beats quality as the grav cannon puts out the most damage courtesy of each gun getting four shots. Unfortunately the superkrak version of the Desolation Squad suffers the same problem as many similar units; there just aren’t enough shots to make it worthwhile. Yet no Chapter would ever consider granting the Emperor's Peace to its Ancients, for they are the wardens of a Chapter's history and traditions, for only they can still remember first-hand what now only resides in the mouldering tomes of the Chapter's Librarium. Some of these ancient behemoths no longer resemble the current mass production Mars Pattern Mark V Dreadnoughts and are bulky and cumbersome. Others stand towering over their foes like elegantly-crafted statues ready to smite their enemies. There has been a lot of ranting online about the design of the Desolation Marines. Personally, I don’t think it’s all that bad, but I do think that the more bulky Gravis armour would have been better suited to the oversized (and honestly over-designed) weapons. The models stay true to the Primaris design ethos of turning everything up to 11. Who needs good old frag and krak missiles when you can have SUPERfrag and SUPERkrak. Primaris Lieutenant review When the greatest of the Astartes are crippled in combat the battle-brother's body will be repaired and transferred into an armoured cyborganic sarcophagus outfitted with extensive life support systems. This sarcophagus is then interred within the heart of the armoured torso of a Dreadnought if there is even a spark of life left.

Such is the miraculous design of the Redemptor’s neural links that its inhabitant, despite being entombed in the sarcophagus within the Dreadnought’s chest, can exercise control with surprising dexterity and speed.

Even in death I still serve. Brutalis Dreadnought vs Maulerfiend

The venerable Hellblaster costs 30 points per model and can carry one of three plasma incinerator options. For the sake of this analysis we’ll look at the heavy plasma incinerator, which fires a single shot that’s S8/9, AP -4, and D2/3 depending on whether it’s overcharged. Such is the miraculous design of the Redemptor's neural links that its inhabitant, despite being entombed in a box-like, cybernetic sarcophagus within the Dreadnought's chest, can exercise control with surprising dexterity and speed. It is whispered that the advanced systems of the Redemptor are a curse as well as a blessing. Many of those Redemptors that have fought for a sustained period have already had their sarcophagi replaced, their original pilots burned out by the intensity of the machine's destructive prowess. Redemptor Dreadnoughts are giant war machines that crush bone and splinter skulls as they bludgeon through enemy ranks. Taller, broader and more cunningly wrought than the Dreadnoughts of traditional design, these goliaths of battle are powered by hyper-dense reactors and sophisticated fibre bundles. They can accelerate from a thudding stomp to a loping, thunderous gait that shakes the ground, barrelling through hails of fire in glorious defiance. Such is the miraculous design of the Redemptors neural links that its inhabitant, despite being entombed in the sarcophagus within the Dreadnoughts chest, can exercise control with surprising dexterity and speed. Venerable Dreadnoughts often are a drain on their Chapter's resources, for their millennia-old pilot becomes harder and harder to rouse with the passing of time, and their even more ancient chassis are prone to malfunction, with the parts needed to update them no longer available. A sizeable portion of a Master of the Forge's attentions is spent caring for his Chapter's Ancients, with the ever-lurking risk of the Venerable Dreadnought simply not waking again.
