The Castaferrum is the most used today because it uses an adaptable thermic reactor instead of the little-understood atomantic arc reactors of the Contemptor Pattern.

The most commonly used Dreadnought today is the Castaferrum Pattern, specifically the Mk.IV and Mk.V types. Some of the oldest patterns of Dreadnought were the Lucifer Pattern and Contemptor Pattern.

When the new warrior is interred as a pilot, Dreadnought will take a new name. Also traditionally every Dreadnought bear a scroll with the inscribed name of the hero on it. The synthesized, crackling voice emanates from within the machine, making a conversation with a Dreadnought in eerie experience. Īll Dreadnoughts contains speakers and the warrior within can communicate with other Space Marines. Usually Dreadnoughts waked from their slumber only in time of great need or when their advice is needed for some special missions. When not fighting, the Chapter's Techmarines will allow the fallen heroes to sleep away the centuries, sealed in stasis vaults, until once more they are called to battle. Īlthough a Dreadnought can be damaged and disabled, it can survive unless the actual armoured tomb containing the occupant's form is destroyed. They are usually armed with weapons to suit a particular role, such as destroying other heavy armoured vehicles. ĭreadnoughts are armoured with ceramite and adamantium, their muscles are formed of electro-fibre bundles and magna-coils. Because the art of constructing them has been almost lost, Dreadnoughts are revered as rare machines, though the most revered specialists still dare to construct 'new' Dreadnoughts. ĭreadnought machines themselves are ancient, the oldest dating back tens of thousands of years to the Age of Strife. If a dreadnought is destroyed, the Space Marines will fight to retrieve the armoured shell so that the occupant can be returned to the chapter's mausoleum for his long-deserved final rest. For this reason they are revered not just as powerful warriors but also as ageless forebears and living embodiments of battles fought long ago. Some are so ancient their memories may extend back to the founding of their chapter and its earliest history. Once interred within the Dreadnought, the Marine cannot leave the metal womb and is destined for a life of endless battle until destroyed.
