→Overview
'''Venerable Dreadnoughts''' are the oldest [[Space Marine Dreadnought]]s still in service.
==Overview==
Venerable Dreadnoughts have fought in thousands of battles over several hundred or even thousands of years. From for all those years of combat, the Venerable Dreadnoughts have gained vast amounts of knowledge of warfare, and the galaxy itself. They are experienced in almost any situation imaginable. Many years of continuous warfare have made them nearly impervious against harm and, combined with their knowledge of warfare and the galaxy, these Dreadnoughts have become very difficult to destroy. Ultimately, it requires the utter destruction of their sarcophagus to stop them.
Not only marines can be entombed in a Dreadnought, Chaplains have been entombed in dreadnoughts and have achieved Venerable status.
