===[[Redemptor Dreadnought|Redemptor Pattern]]=== [[File:RedDread.jpg|260px|right|thumb|New toys for ass-kicking.]] The new walking death machine in the dreadnought line. This pattern was created by [[Belisarius Cawl]] as part of the [[Primaris Marines|Primaris Space Marines]] project since their size could make the potential entombing in regular dread patterns difficult (and not to play a little with dreadnought tech, create his own pattern [[Profit|and make you buy the new model]]). These Redemptor Dreadnoughts are notably bigger than the standard Castaferrum dreads, roughly equivalent to the aforementioned Leviathan pattern. Although it could be said that the Leviathan specializes in siege warfare whereas the Redemptor is more shock orientated in function, with extra guns replacing the atomantic shielding of the Leviathan. As expected with all things Primaris, he's bigger, stronger, faster, and sturdier than most patterns, sharing many things with the Leviathan, including a ''major'' flaw of its own: it tends to kill its pilots rather quickly due to unknown reasons (possibly because said neural links are ''too'' well-designed, or maybe it's because the AdMech saw nothing wrong with making it work like their own [[Onager Dunecrawler]]; knowing the cogboys, we can safely assume it's the latter) so it's yet unknown how the pattern will fare in the future, but if that flaw has become a noticeable trend in just the century or so of the Indomitus Crusade, then there's no way the Redemptor can be expected to preserve valued veterans for ''millennia'' like regular dreads can, which is kinda [[fail|half the point of a dreadnought in the first place]]. It comes with a choice of gatling cannon or plasma incinerator on the right arm, with a Redemptor fist and heavy flamer support weapon or gatling cannon on the left, 2 chest-mounted fragstorm grenade launchers or storm bolters and a carapace-mounted Icarus rocket pod for aerial denial. ====[[Brutalis Dreadnought|Brutalis Pattern]]==== 2023 introduced a new melee variant to the Redemptor in the same vein as the Furioso patterns of old. Its two fists look notably different than the hand-like design of the Redemptor's and can be swapped out for claws which deal more melee damage and are similar to the Furioso’s Blood Talons in shape but without the latter’s flamers or other built-in ranged weapons. Speaking of ranged weapons its non-clawed version is apparently getting twin-linked auto bolt rifles over the hands rather than under for some reason. The chest weapons in the Brutalis are now either heavy meltas to deal with vehicles or heavy bolters instead of the fragstorm grenade launchers or storm bolters of the Redemptor. Meanwhile, the carapace mounts a pair of Ironhail heavy stubbers on top in place of the normal Redemptor’s Icarus rocket pod. ====[[Ballistus Dreadnought|Ballistus Pattern]]==== 10th Edition's new contribution, harkening back to the old Hellfire Dreads. Rather than hands, this dread instead carries a double Lascannon in one hand and a missile launcher. Its chest now only houses storm bolters.
