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

Product Information

Older Dreadnoughts are referred to by Space Marine Chapters as Venerable Dreadnoughts or more simply as their "Ancients". Having earned many millennia worth of combat experience, Venerable Dreadnoughts are even harder to destroy than their younger counterparts. However, as a trade-off for their knowledge, they are armed with older, more volatile and usually less effective weaponry. Incursor: 4x Bolt pistol, 4x Frag & Krak grenades, 4x Occulus bolt carbine, 4x Paired combat blades An arming ceremony carried out by the Adeptus Mechanicus' tech-priests for a still unoccupied Redemptor Dreadnought chassis of the Imperial Fists Chapter.

Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one ADEPTUS ASTARTES DREADNOUGHT model from your army (excluding WULFEN and DEATH COMPANY models). Until the start of your next Command phase, that model gains either the Rites of Battle ability or the Tactical Precision ability, as shown below: Unlike the Space Marines’ current anti-tankinfantry of choice, Eliminators, the Devastation Squad wear Tacticus rather than heavier Gravis power armour, and seem to come in units of five to ten models. 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. These are probably the most controversial models you’ll find in Strike Force Agastus. If you know the Intercessor or Hellblasters kit you know what to expect here. This kit has two identical copies of two medium size sprues that build five models each, and ten 32mm bases.Each set of sprues features: Aggressor • Desolation Squad • Eradicator • Hellblaster • Vanguard Eliminator • Vanguard Suppressor • Infernus Squad • Firestrike Servo-turret • Hammerfall Bunker

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: 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 review 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. If you followed the steps in our review and only glued those parts in the "built units" we showed and can be seen below, you have a modular, easily magnetized variant of the Brutalis Dreadnought.

A Hellfire Dreadnought of the Mantis Warriors Chapter armed with a twin-linked Autocannon and a Missile Launcher.

Kurggar Fyrfist ( Space Wolves) - Fyrfist is a Redemptor Dreadnought of the Space Wolves and one of the finest warriors currently serving in that Chapter. 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. 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. A Relic Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought of the Minotaurs Chapter armed with a Kheres Pattern Assault Cannon and a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon with in-built twin-linked Bolter. 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.)

To be honest, I’m very surprised at how long it has taken for a new variant of the Primaris Redemptor chassis to appear. The Brutalis Dreadnought is practically the equivalent of the old Furioso Dreadnought of the Blood Angels, a close combat beast with more short-ranged chassis weapons. The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought, like much of the technology developed at the dawn of the Imperium of Man, is larger and more powerful than its standard pattern counterparts and was once a key part of the earliest Space Marine Legion forces raised on Terra in the 31st Millennium to initiate the Great Crusade. Such relics are sometimes recovered as archeotech by the Imperium in the 41st Millennium and then used to supplement the forces of the present-day Space Marine Chapters. Any Mark IV or Mark V Castraferrum Dreadnought may replace its Multi-Melta with any of these options: 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 Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought comes as 109 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 90mm Round base and a transfer sheet.

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. Chassis-mounted Heavy Bolters allow a Brutalis Dreadnought to unleash respectable amounts of anti-infantry firepower. If a Chapter needs its Brutalis Dreadnoughts to face enemy armour, a pair of Multi-Meltas in place of the Heavy Bolters will cook any vehicles that the Brutalis does not crush with its fists or rip apart with its claws. When the Adeptus Astartes fight, they employ a set of combat doctrines to eliminate the enemy. 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: The chassis of the Brutalis either carries heavy bolters or multi-meltas. The mounts can be angled and I strayed apart from the instructions here and didn't glue the weapons in, as they hold from friction. So, in case you want to magnetise them, don't glue them to the mount. Lazarius ( Silver Skulls) (KIA) - Lazarius was a Redemptor Dreadnought of the Silver Skulls Chapter who was part of the strike force that fought to save the Industrial World of Drevaris from the invading forces of the T'au Empire. Along with their Sons of Guilliman allies, the Silver Skulls fought a devastating battle with the T'au, and Lazarius was killed by the T'au Commander Novastorm. Worse still, the damage Lazarius suffered caused his Redemptor Dreadnought to explode, which killed several nearby battle-brothers of his Chapter.
