==Weaponry==
Berossus, unlike most of his [[Chaos Dreadnought]] counterparts, was armed with advanced siege weaponry geared towards close combat engagement. One arm was rigged with a gigantic siege hammer, a mighty breaching weapon he put to good use literally obliterating [[Honsou]]'s [[Iron Warriors]]. To the other arm was attatched an equally enormous [[Assault Drill|siege drill]], which was ringed by heavy [[autocannons]]. Sprouting from his back were four super servo-arms, which were armed with various picks, blades, saws, claws, and other heavy-duty breaching tools.
==Appearance==
Berossus was much larger than his subordinate [[dreadnoughts]], standing about twice as large as a normal [[Space Marine]] and 3-4 times as large as a normal human. His ancient dreadnought chassis had been severely altered to accomodate his siege-oriented tactics, especially the multitudes of breaching equipment that had been installed on his frame. Such alterations included stronger leg assemblies, which were fortified and widened, and the addition of a quartet of super servo-arms attatched to his back, which were bristling with breaching & siege tools.
Eventually Berossus met Honsou in battle during the latter stages of the war, where he almost killed Honsou with a [[Assault Drill|siege drill]]. However, Honsous' [[Daemonhost]] bodyguard [[Onyx]] managed to inflict enough damage to Berossus' dreadnought form. His sarcophagus was opened by Housou, who proceeded to rip Berossus' head from the [[Mind Impulse Unit]] of the dreadnought and crushed for all to see. Berossus' troops then defected to Honsou shortly after his death.
