'''Wargear''': 
*'''Alexian's Blade''': Can be swapped for Thule's Companion for 45 pts, or The Hammer of Cadia for 40 pts.
*'''Bolt Pistol''': See Codex: Space Marines. Can be swapped for a Plasma Pistol for 15 pts or a Meltagun for 10 pts. Either of these is automatically replaced if Thule swaps Alexian's Blade for Thule's Companion or The Hammer of Cadia.

*'''Independent Character'''

*'''Rage (Alexian's Blade Only)'''

*'''A Father to His Men''': Thule is known to be very protective of those who are under his command and he doesn't take it well when he loses them. If any allied model from the Detachment that includes Davian Thule is removed as a casualty in 12 inches of Thule, then Captain Thule gains the Hatred USR against the model that removed one of his men. If said enemy model is in range, then Captain Thule acts as if under the Counterattack USR.
*'''Devastator Experience''': After defeating the dreaded Chaos Witch Morga, and before he became Captain of the 4th Company, Davian Thule was known very well for his skills as a Devastator Marine. If Thule chooses to take Thule's Companion and join a Devastator Squad, then the squad may use Captain Thule's BS instead of theirs. Additionally, the entire squad gains the Skyfire USR.

Thule used this Thunder Hammer to kill the Sorcerer directing the horrors.

* '''Fist of The Furioso''': The last venerable dreadnought to bear this mighty weapon into combat earned the incredible distinction of destroying a Chaos Warhound Titan. A crippling blow to the leg halted the mighty god machine's advance; the Dreadnought then hauled the Titan down, tore asunder its pilot compartment and ruptured its power core. The explosion annihilated a large portion of the Chaos force, and after the battle only this fist remained, still clutching the twisted form of the Titan's mutated pilot. The Fist of the Furious is a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon.

* '''Nostrum's Farewell''': Legendary Blood Ravens hero Markus "The Worthy" Nostrum, suffered grievous wounds at the Battle of Yaltha and was chosen to become a venerable dreadnought. Two centuries later, he leveled this mighty assault cannon at the stream of xenos hordes during the Fourth Crusade to the Halo Stars. Holding the southern flank by himself, he laid down a hail of devastation that allowed the crusaders to mount a counter attack. He did not survive.

* '''Solar Immolator''': Dreadnought Astyanax of the Ultramarines carried this overpowering weapon into battle in twenty campaigns. The honored warrior claimed the weapon channeled the light and power of Sol itself, and with it the fury of the Emperor.

* '''Myrmidon Plating''': Inspired by the regenerative capabilities of the Tyranid xenos, the Techmarines of the Brazen Claws chapter set about crafting dreadnought plating which could recover from the most grievous assaults. Grants the It Will Not Die USR.

* '''Vault of Deep Night''': The existence of a venerated dreadnought is at best a shadow of life. Autolochus of the Iron Snakes survived seven hundred years in this blessed tomb, often alone and silent for decades at a time. Upon waking for his final combat duties, Autolochus pronounced, "I have seen enough of the deep night. Let us venture into the light of His protection." Grants immunity to the Lance USR. Additionally, allied units within 12 inches of Davian gain the Shrouded USR if he decides to take this upgrade.
