==Imperial Dreadnoughts==
===Space Marines Dreadnoughts===
A Dreadnought is a large, walking tank armored walker which carries both powerful guns and lethal close combat weaponry, armoured to withstand all but the most powerful of enemy firepower and often relied on by Space Marine forces to tear an opening in enemy defenses. Each Dreadnought contains a living being, permanently interfaced with the machine through a form of [[Mind Impulse Unit]]. Dreadnoughts are surprisingly agile, able to walk and balance with the ease of a living creature. It is said that old proto-Dreadnoughts of the [[Unification]] wars could be piloted by non-Adeptus Astartes warriors, but later only Space Marines could be interred in them.{{Fn|2d}}
Dreadnought machines themselves are ancient, the oldest dating back tens of thousands of years to the [[Age of Strife]]. Because the art of constructing them has been almost lost, Dreadnoughts are revered as rare machines, though the most revered specialists still dare to construct 'new' Dreadnoughts.{{Fn|2a}}
