​@@bionicgeekgrrldamn, metal? I miss my 5th edition plastic.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

@@sketch-rstuff1017 yep, in the 80s and 90s the vast majority of gw models were made of white metal. They gradually made more plastic kits as things got cheaper and as white metal got more expensive. This is how finecast came to be too. Metal becomes too expensive, but far too expensive to invest 100k/sprue for everything so they adapted the moulds for resin which caused a number of well known issues. It lasted much longer than ever intended though.

[@hazardbastard9422]

Dreadnoughts are a pretty good example on scale creep. The original dreads are barely taller than a primaris lol.

I think my favorite variant of the dreadnought is the death company one. Just the idea that you already have a murderous psycho space marine and decide it would be a good idea to put him in what amounts to a walking tank is so funny to me.

[@OutrageousOnPurpose]

It is such a great model too :D

[@hb3n164]

Hate to be "that" guy, but they dont but already fallen blood angels in a dreadnought. Death company dreadnoughts were normal dreads once, they just fell to the black rage after they've been put it one.

Left out a crucial downside of the new primaris dreads, in that they’re allegedly burning out the pilots as if they were just another interchangeable part

[@moderndavinci6599]

Since, to my knowledge, Primaris marines cannot be entombed within the old "actually works as a life preserver" Dreadnoughts, does that mean all the famous Space Marine characters that got upgraded into Primaris are basically... doomed if they get mortally wounded? Let's say Dante gets maimed. He's a 1100 years old, the Blood Angels aren't going to let that living repertory of knowledge go. So they entomb him. But... He was recently turned into Primaris, so he'll just get burnt up and die, won't he?

[@ashardalondragnipurake]

@@moderndavinci6599 that would be the case but GW will never let any of their precious named marines get hurt so its never going to be relevant it would have been an interesting point back when the setting was grim and sometimes dark

[@W_Anderson]

If you are still looking for dread lore WesHammer does a great video on them. Not only only explaining each type but also the lore on all of them.

Although there won’t be anymore models im glad the box dreads will always be around in the lore.

[@limbo8497]

It's worth knowing that the Boxnaught is still around with the Venerable Dreadnought being up for purchase still. Not quite gone.

[@Ottersanity]

Oh they just put the two in the same box?

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

It is only because of the chapter specific versions that it survives, they build off it. It and them are on borrowed time though, they'll get redemptor versions at some point, maybe with their codexes if they design them cleverly to do all of them from the same kit with a unique sprue per chapter and give us a venerable redemptor)

[@brotherkhrayn3525]

If they get rid of the venerable dreadnaught I will riot

[@Sir_Bucket]

As an ork player, I love dreadnoughts. They are perfect if you want a deff dread that looks looted from somewhere else. They're big, scary, and the flat armor makes it easy to add stuff on top of it like more guns or spikes

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

Looted boxnoughts in mass numbers may follow now boxnaughts are going. The chapter specific ones are on borrowed time until a new redemptor version gets released, which could be sooner for some than others. Probably not entirely during this edition as gw is slow at such things (with valid reasons given the number of product lines they have, and needing to balance tooling investment across them wisely each year (probably why we won't get much more for heresy this year etc as they may well push the new stuff out to next financial year).

[@douglaswetak9686]

Custodes have their own patterns of dread you seem to have forgot. Those being the Contemptor Achilles, and the Telamon heavy The Telamon is the most notable of the 2, being a massive “Fuck you” button to anything that gets REMOTELY near the throne room. Edit: I’m stupid and didn’t read the “Space Marine” part of the title.

The Contemptor dreadnoughts are rare because the tech they use and their tendency to fight to the death. For example Ancient Rylanor, and a random loyalist death guard dreadnought who got virus bombed THREE SEPARATE TIMES.

[@hammer1349]

And endured 1000s of years of lonely silence, staving off insanity and madness of being the sole survivor of one of the greatest crimes in Imperial history

[@oniemployee3437]

Wasn't Rylanor with the Emperor's Children?

[@hammer1349]

@oniemployee3437 yes, however Saul Tarvitz had a feeling that something was going on behind the scenes and Rylanor took his place, going down to the planet to lead the troops against the rebellion. That was why he was on the planet the whole time as he had endured the various virus and orbital bombardments, ultimately being buried in an underground hangar. Rylanor is, or more accurately was, the last known loyalist Emperor's Children. He defied Fulgrim to his face, rejected everything his gene father had become

[@ajollyduck]

@@oniemployee3437 I need to put a comma there, but yes he was emperor's children

[@theoverpreparerlamenters3r436]

Hi Arthur. You forgot the little Quirk about the Redemptor pattern; they slowly melt the poor guy piloting it. But as for me, I am a fan of the contemptor Dreadnought, it just seems so reliable.

[@discipleofdagon8195]

Better/more safe than the Leviathan dread which drives the guy insane. Imagine being a world eater, having to deal with butchers nails AND a machine spirit eating your patience like a 3 three course meal. Also because of this, any current leviathans with their original occupants are more "vaguely put down in the direction of the enemy while the deployers run for the hills" type of weapons. Its so bad that even the blood angels who have the death company will still hesitate to deploy a relic leviathan because of the levels of batshit the pilot would be (and the means of destruction at his disposal).

[@TheMagnumDon]

I find it weird how the Blood Angels are the ones with Psycher Dreadnoughts yet the Blood Ravens are the chapter with the suspicious amount of psychers

[@tylerzerbe6861]

first dread pattern was the furibunudus. created by one of the warlord clans of terra, was absorbed into use by the imperium. mars didnt like working on them as they were not martian-designed. outside of lore, these were the dreadnoughts that were available in the rogue trader days. they were metal and they were only slightly larger than the terminators we have now. no matter how you built one they'd always look dopey and most people were glad to see them replaced by the boxy-noughts.

[@ala5530]

Ah yes, the OG trio of dreadnought patterns: Contemptor, Furibundus, and Deredeo. AKA in lore as "Chuck", "Fred", and "Eddie"

[@Torbtastic]

Some of my favorite character chapters in the Heresy books were dreadnoughts. Telemechrus from Know No Fear comes to mind, and Lhorke from Betrayer..

[@recurvestickerdragon]

Rylanor, for me~

[@discipleofdagon8195]

Fun fact about the leviathan: It drives the user insane to the point where all surviving ones (referred to in 40k as relic leviathans) are essentially each chapter's one-man death company. Unlike a wulfen or death company dread, these things are INCREDIBLY hard to restrain and put back to sleep. You only really deploy one as a last last last resort and make sure you're far away when old man Ripandtearkins wakes up and can't find his car keys. Also you forgot the dread-knight... honest mistake tbh

[@recurvestickerdragon]

bears mentioning that the three Cawl patterns that mount an actual wounded hero... kinda rapidly degrade their nervous system, _completely_ defeating the point of keeping your wise knowledgeable veterans around to lead the rest, in favor of being a slightly better tank.

[@tomasmichaels642]

I'd argue that since many of the primaris have not had much combat experience, its not like an ancient hero of great renown is lost. Sides, the whole point of them coming out to share knowledge is so others can carry on after their time on the battlefield.

[@Distamorfin]

Missed a very important detail about the Redemptor chassis, in that instead of preserving wounded veterans for millennia to come, it instead uses them like AA batteries and burns out most pilots in around a century. Also the Invictor is basically a practice dreadnought since the pilot is completely unprotected in the cockpit except for his own power armor. Contemptor pattern Dreadnought my beloved.

[@kobun6474]

Man I really want to prosletyze the joys of the Contemptor Incaendus dread, which could fly. Imagine being a chaos raptor and just seeing a refrigerator with claws rocketing up at you with extreme prejudice

Pretty much ALL Dreadnoughts are awesome, but my favorite is probably the Leviathan Dreadnought. The fluff, that it was developed in on Terra, in secret, with elements not shared with the Mechanicum as a counter balance to the Red Priesthood is RAD AS HELL. Redemptors, Contemptors, and Ironclads right there after. I dare say the only Dreads I don't like would be the Chaos ones. :D EDIT: Oh yeah! The Invictor.

[@KadeNapier-xo2md]

There's one version of the dreadnought that I absolutely love in the sense of the lore and what I am talking about is the helbrute which for those who don't know are basically the chaos heretic version of a dreadnought that is somewhat sentient. And why I love the idea of this is because of the fact that not only does the design for these abominations look fucking terrifying and cool but also the fact that the idea that these people are getting tortured physically and mentally by this almost sentient mech suit is just something that sounds original on its own but also add in the fact that these things are slowly fusing the pilot and the suit together and overall you get a interesting unit with a unique design, lore, and backstory that also adds horror into the mix and you have yourself something that not only Warhammer 40k fans might like but also horror fans might like as well. And surprisingly I'm both a Warhammer 40k fan and a horror fan respectfully

[@mirromarnicco3162]

Ironclad and Siege Dreadnoughts are not the same. The siege one is armed with a siege drill and an inferno cannon (a massive flamer). Hellfire dreadnought is always armed with a missile launcher and a ranged weapon. A dreadnought that is armed with two identical ranged weapons, so for example, two assault cannons, is called a mortis dreadnought. And there is the assault dreadnought, which is essentially just a normal castraferrum but with two power fists. Other than that, a great video!

[@BrandonVonOtt]

Dreadnoughts are honestly one of my favorite parts of 40k. The idea of soldiers being interred into a suit of armor to both act as life support and walking armory is fantastic. The Deredeo dreadnought in particular being one of my favorite dreadnoughts (after the Telemon and Galatus dreadnoughts).

Hey, Arthur- thanks for the video, they’re always entertaining👍🏻 I saw a few comments of people asking and describing what Volkite weapons do, and since they are my favorite ranged weapons in 30K/40K, I thought I’d clarify what their capabilities are. “Volkite” is an arcane Martian term for a variety of powerful ray weapons which possess considerable killing power that surpasses most other armaments of the same size. They were once relatively common during the eras of the Age Of Strife and Unification Wars, and the early years of the Space Marine Legions, but by the outbreak of the Horus Heresy they had been mostly replaced by the easier and cheaper to manufacture Terran Bolters. The term for the injury caused by Volkite weapons is “deflagration”, which is a devastating effect on organic matter, explosively burning flesh into ash and jetting fire. They came in a variety of sizes, the smallest being the pistol sized Serpenta, increasing in size through the Charger, the Caliver, the Culverin (which is the largest carriable version, similar to a Heavy Bolter in size), the vehicle and tank-mounted Carronade, and several other larger ones (that unfortunately I can’t remember the names of) to be mounted on Knights and Titans. There’s even a chest mounted version on the Mechanicum Ursarax. I’ve heard of them being described as a super-focused heat-ray as well, but that makes me think of a Melta gun. Anyway- sorry to be so long winded, but I hope that helps anyone wondering just what the fuck Volkites do. Thanks again for the video!

I know that a lot of people think marines are lame, but I think they are cool as hell. They're what got me into the hobby and I still love them, all of them. But you're absolutely right dreadnoughts are the coolest thing about the faction, hands down. My favorite thing about them is that they're not just big robots. When you make one for an army you can have a whole badass backstory. The giant death robot has a name, a history, deeds, and a story about why he is in this coffin of murder. They are old, sometimes ancient, and have a level of respect and honor few others get. I love in the lore when they wake one up to get advice or a better tactical assessment of whatever situation they are in. Then sometimes the dreadnought is like "What the hell year is it? What's going on? What happened to Chapter Master what's his face? last time I was awake it was 5k years ago" Some of them are old enough to have been around fighting vs Horus or the Great Crusade. It's just so awesome.

[@bertholdvonzahringen6799]

i thought they used to be used as miner rigs, since unmodified humans are significantly smaller than Space Marines

[@user-fg7sc1rw3j]

I love the use of fuckhands mic mike

[@ivanquarman01]

What makes the redempter slightly better is that when it stops working, the marine can just jump out and keep fighting.

[@tfan2222]

That’s not how that works…

Is Guilliman in armor of fate technically a dreadnought ?

[@eduardotelles2325]

Nope, Gman can survive now without his armor, before you could say that it was a life support device + armor

[@greyclydesdale]

Im a total ork marine, I kludged together an assault former Space wolves dreadnought with jetpack engines ripped off a land speeder. I don't even know if I could field it. i never got the chance. My faction was lost in deep space and had to scavenge to keep their equipment running. I had an assault marine with a chainsaw off a Catachan walker and a double bolt pistol, named Ash.

[@Sephiroth36977]

I did not know about the Deredeo Dreadnought. It looks like it COULD stand a chance to damage a Titan. I like it.

[@thedyingmeme6]

Deredeo's should be renamed to DAKKADAKKADAKKADEO

[@OGXenos]

My love of Dreadnoughts is the reason Iron Hands are the only Space Marine legion i run.

[@glenmcinnes4824]

I miss my 1e Dreadnoughts with the built in flight packs, have one of them anchor a squad of Power Board ridding Terminators or just a squad of them on their own cruising the battlefield looking for trouble.

Redemptor dreadnought equivalents disintegrate their pilots over time.

[@martymiarty5078]

Yoooo, I was just watching the terminator armor video yesterday!

[@ZafyrArt]

I love dreadnoughts, to the point I've always wanted to try and make as much of a dreadnought-heavy army as I can. 10th ed has given me the opportunity of trying 3 redemptors, and I loved it so much. So now I'm probably gonna fit a Brutalis or two as well as a Ballistus or two.

[@emgee2807]

What I really hope, is that the thousand sons get their own psyker dread! I think having a teleporting heavy threat that you can just plop down anywhere in the battlefield to act as a 'distraction carnefex' would be really nifty.

[@brotherbob1]

Salamanders are very nice. You should make a video on them

[@thesatelliteslickers907]

imagining a space marine in a god damn evangelion plugsuit and i am cracking up

[@VestedUTuber]

Just to note about the Contemptor Dreadnought, the Custodes also use them, and they get to pick from a normal Contemptor or two configurations with GIANT versions of normal Custodes weapons - the Contemptor-Achillus armed with the Achillus Dreadspear, an enormous version of the normal Guardian Spear but with the bolter replaced with a rapid-firing Lascannon, and the Contemptor-Galatus, armed with a Galatus Warblade that replaces the short-range boltcasters of the Sentinel Blade with a twin-barreled Infernus Incinerator. The Galatus also comes equipped with a giant storm shield. The Custodes also have a unique dreadnought of their own - the Telemon Dreadnought. This thing makes even the Leviathan Dreadnought look small, and packs an even bigger punch... in close combat, anyway. Leviathan outshoots it.

Babe wake up!!! New arthur vid!!!

the one strange thing about them is that they actually know fear unlike normal stranshuman psychos (via the Know no fear book i think)

I find the use of the musique from "the caretaker" as a really sweet an nice choice. After all, the memories of the dreadnought juste like the patient in the caretaker's album's, would slowly fade away...

[@stevemaxwell4756]

will the members only legion videos (or any other members-only video to be released in the future) be publicly released soon? i enjoy your videos and i would also like to hear your spin on the factions/groups you review

[@EmonWBKstudios]

I prefer T'au Battlesuits, but the OG castaferrum dreadnaught is so cool. Plus, what an awesome name - CAST IRON FEARS NOTHING.

[@LastHCompany]

Dumb thought: Stuff a Guard Sentinel pilot into a Warsuit pilot seat.
