====Contemptor-Cortus Dreadnought====

The '''Contemptor-Cortus''' was a lesser variant of the ‘Prime’ Contemptor pattern. Utilizing many of its base components, the most sophisticated systems were replaced with less potent ones which could be more readily fabricated in the field by the [[Legiones Astartes]]. The result was a war machine with unique strengths and combat characteristics, but also a reputation for instability, due to the barbaric indifference to the sanity or biological stability of the one entombed within.{{Fn|6}}
