Though how enough of these brand spanking-new Space Marines were curbstomped just enough to warrant Dreadnought status, we'll (probably) never know. Times are desperate. Considering the Primaris fought in the [[Indomitus Crusade]] in their hundreds of thousands for over a century it may not be as far fetched as it first appears.

It's likely that the first batch of Redemptor Dreadnoughts mostly contains regular Astartes. Furthermore, we currently <s>don't know how long the Indomitus Crusade has been going</s> know that by the time of the Dark Imperium novel and by extension the launch of 8th Edition it's been approximately ~~112~~ years since the Indomitus Crusade began and is quickly coming to a close.

	However, as "superior" as the Redemptor is supposed to be, it has one major battle barge-sized flaw that will likely establish it as a mere supplement to the existing dreadnought arsenal, rather than a true replacement or upgrade. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, interned Marines are known to [[Wat\|die after long periods of extended use inside of a Redemptor]]. One potential explanation is that [[Belisarius Cawl\|Uncle Cawl's]] minions approached the Redemptor's design with a similar mentality to that utilized on their [[Onager Dunecrawler\|Onager Dunecrawlers]]. You know, the vehicle notorious for turning their drivers into disposable living batteries. Another explanation is that the Redemptor could be related in design to the [[Leviathan Dreadnought]], given that the Leviathan's fluff states that operating it puts a terrible strain on the pilot. It is possible that the Redemptor suffers from a similar issue due to Cawl not giving any shits about how the neural uplink would affect the pilot.

	Then as a secondary armament you can have an Onslaught Gatling Cannon for more dakka (it's shorter range than it's heavier brother at 24" and has half the dakka at Heavy6, but other than that it's the exact same) or a Heavy Flamer, and we all should know what one of those does by now. Since the Flamer and Cannon both have the same strength, AP, and damage, you're mainly comparing the range of the Cannon vs the potential to auto-hit, even after moving, with the Flamer. Also the Cannon is a whopping 1 point cheaper than the Flamer if you need to pinch points.

	'''Redemptor Dreadnoughts''' are the apex of [[Space Marines\|Space Marine]] warfare, combining the ancient expertise of a renowned hero with new developments in [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] technology. Redemptor Dreadnoughts are the largest and most powerful of their brethren, rivaling even the venerable [[Dreadnought#Leviathan Pattern\|Leviathan pattern]] and trading out its older cousin’s atomantic shielding for more weapons. Colossal bulk indicates prodigious strength and belies a surprising turn of speed, outpacing their smaller brethren and capable of tearing apart even [[Daemon\|daemons]] and bio-titans with one enormous powered fist. This is combined with a vast array of weapons designed to allow the Redemptor to focus on a specific target or remain terrifyingly versatile, from the anti-flyer Icarus ~~rocket pod~~ to the armour-melting ~~macro plasma incinerator~~ to the rolling thunder of the ~~heavy onslaught gatling cannon~~. Its framework is reused for the [[Invictor Tactical Warsuit]].

	'''Redemptor Dreadnoughts''' are the newest additions to the [[Space Marines\|Space Marines']] armored lineup, combining the latest innovations of [[Belisarius Cawl\|Big Daddy Cawl]] with the experience of a crippled old veteran. Like all things [[Primaris Space Marines\|Primaris]], they're bigger and more powerful than their brethren (being at least as large as the [[Dreadnought~~#Leviathan Pattern~~\|Leviathan pattern]] and trading out its older cousin’s atomantic shielding for more weapons), and certainly a hell of a lot faster.

	They're also notably versatile in loadout - one arm packs either a [[Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannon]] or [[Macro Plasma Incinerator]] to shred infantry or melt armour, respectively, while the other has an [[Meme\|ECKSBAWKS FUCKHUGE]] Power Fist designed to punch Bio-Titans and larger [[daemon\|daemons]] apart. It can also pack the [[Icarus Rocket Pod]] for anti-air capabilities. The [[Invictor Tactical Warsuit]] uses a stripped-down version of the chassis as its base.

	Then again, there's nothing explicitly stating that ''only'' Primaris Marines are compatible with the new dread, especially since it looks like just a standard sarcophagus installed in an upgraded chassis. It's likely that the first batch of Redemptor Dreadnoughts mostly contains regular Astartes. Furthermore, we currently <s>don't know how long the Indomitus Crusade has been going</s> know that by the time of the Dark Imperium novel and by extension the launch of 8th Edition it's been approximately 112 years since the Indomitus Crusade began and is quickly coming to a close. That's a fairly reasonable amount of time for Primaris Redemptor Dreadnoughts to become more mainstream, though considering how old some Dreads are...

	However, as "superior" as the Redemptor is supposed to be, it has one major battle barge-sized flaw that will likely establish it as a mere supplement to the existing dreadnought arsenal, rather than a true replacement or upgrade. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, interned Marines are known to [[Wat\|die after long periods of extended use inside of a Redemptor]]. One potential explanation is that [[Belisarius Cawl\|Uncle Cawl's]] minions approached the Redemptor's design with a similar mentality to that utilized on their [[Onager Dunecrawler\|Onager Dunecrawlers]]. You know, the vehicle notorious for turning their drivers into disposable living batteries. Another explanation is that the Redemptor could be related in design to the Leviathan Dreadnought, given that the Leviathan's fluff states that operating it puts a terrible strain on the pilot. It is possible that the Redemptor suffers from a similar issue due to Cawl not giving any shits about how the neural uplink would affect the pilot.

	Whatever the reason, the end result is the same: [[FAIL\|a dreadnought chassis that fails half the point of using a dreadnought in the first place]], burning through pilots like fucking double A batteries, and this is after ''only'' a century of service. There's no way the Redemptor can be relied upon to preserve valued veterans and ancients for ''millennia'' like regular dreads can, so don't expect any prominent named characters to be put inside one of these and survive.
