A '''{{PAGENAME}}Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight''' is an artificial construct of humanoid shape, made of [[adamantium]] alloy, [[ceramite]] plates, and a compact yet powerful [[plasma]] reactor. It was first developed by the [[Grey Knights]] to take on [[Greater Daemon]]s of [[Chaos]].
==Overview==
A Dreadknight pilot is connected via synaptic implants to the Dreadknight, which allows the pilot to control the weapon and movement systems. The mental strength and reaction speed needed to effectively pilot the Dreadknight is such that most Grey Knights do not pass the requirements. However, those that do are undoubtedly some of the most honoured warriors to ever belong to the Grey Knights.{{Fn|1a}}
==Equipment==
The Dreadknight comes equiped with two [[Nemesis Doomfist]]s, which can be replaced with either a [[Nemesis Greatsword]] or a [[Nemesis Daemon Hammer]]. Underslung from those two Doomfists or Force Weapons, a Dreadknight can further take two different ranged weapons, including a [[Heavy incinerator]], a [[Gatling psilencer]], or a [[Heavy psycannon]]. It can also take a personal [[teleporter]], which allows it to strike at the heart of a Daemonic infestation.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
