[[Image:MharaGal.jpg|thumb|right|Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought{{Fn|2}}]]
The '''Mhara Gal''' is a type of tainted [[Space Marine Dreadnought]] used by the [[Word Bearers]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. First encountered during the [[Battle of Ithraca]] amidst the catastrophe on [[Calth]], the twisted form of the Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought is terrifying in both its aspect and its unearthly power. The first Mhara Gal is believed to have been created from the barely living remains of a [[Gal Vorbak]] Dark Brethren and a battle-shattered [[Contemptor Dreadnought]] chassis, both recovered from the blood-soaked ground of [[Isstvan V]]. Fused together by unholy practices, they were then corrupted by a [[warp]]-borne power, giving birth to a new monstrosity – a living engine of war and hatred.{{Fn|1}}
The Word Bearers Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought is a fearsome opponent in battle. Wielding a warpfire [[plasma cannon]] and tainted [[power claw]], it is formidable both at range and in close combat, its blows slicing through armour and energy fields alike. Its warp-twisted reactor and the daemonic powers gifted to it by dark forces make it all the more deadly, even breaking the bonds of reality around the Mhara Gal to allow it to walk through obstacles as if they were not there at all.{{Fn|1}}
