Ironclad Dreadnought

Space Marines Portal

MKV Ironclad Dreadnought^[1]

The Ironclad Dreadnought is a variation of the Space Marine Dreadnought designed for close combat.^[2]

Overview

It is the most heavily armoured type of Dreadnought in the Space Marine arsenal, trading long-range weaponry for thicker ceramite plating. They often spearhead assaults against heavily defended positions, their superior armour able to withstand the firepower of a garrisoned fortress. Akin to gigantic battering rams, Ironclad Dreadnoughts drive a wedge through enemy lines and their deployment often means a quick end to any siege.^[3]

Armament

The ironclad dreadnought may be armed with the following:

• Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon
• Seismic Hammer
• Hurricane Bolter
• Ironclad Chainfist
• Meltagun
• Heavy Flamer
• Storm Bolter
• Hunter-Killer Missile (up to 2)
• Ironclad Assault Launchers
