Neptunus Space Marine Dreadnoughts
1st Company 2nd HKT met their demise in honorable battle. Killed during a confidential mission while assigned to Task Force Warlord. The mission has been scrubbed from record due to the death of the entire Hunter Killer Team. They were then recovered by their battle brothers and were saved to continue to serve as the Chapters first Dreadnoughts as they were too valuable to let their service end.
Appearance, chapter color armor, black pauldrons, chapter color helmet faces (if visible), shark teeth motifs, and chapter markings, brass chains and skulls adorn their sarcophagus and new armored vessels. Silent, merciless, preferring devastating close-range assaults and melee, utilizing chain weapons and overwhelming force, much like a shark or predator of the deep.
Often equipped with heavy close-combat weapons like chain axes or power fists and heavy firearms for point-blank eradication. Also equipped with devastating weapons like plasma cannons, heavy flamers (Pyre Cannons), assault cannons, missile launchers, and powerful melee weapons (Power Fists/Talons).
Housed within are warriors who embrace their ruthless, predatory nature, often reflecting the chapter's grim, silent ethos even in death. Serves as a terrifying centerpiece for assaults, breaking enemy lines and leading the charge into melee.
They report directly to the 1st Company Captain, Captain Ardare Braun aboard The Poseidon’s Pearl port fortress and our utilized or called upon as a unit to assist where assigned. Code named: HYDRA
Dreadnoughts in use:
· The Brutalis Dreadnought is a variant of the Redemptor Dreadnought that has been specialised through its weapon loadout for melee combat. The Brutalis Dreadnought is a purebred assault weapon designed for maximum shock and carnage. Like all Primaris Marine Dreadnoughts, its high performance comes at the expense of the mortally wounded Astartes pilot within its cybernetic sarcophagus, whose damaged form is slowly burned out by the strain of operating such an awesomely powerful combat walker.
· The Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnought was developed in secret on Terra, away from the pervasive oculars of the Mechanicum. Its massive frame incorporates hybridised technologies, some dating back into the dim past of Humanity. Towering over later Imperial walker patterns, this heavily armoured Dreadnought is savagely powerful. It was designed for siege warfare and primarily armed with close combat and support weaponry that can rend buildings, vehicles and flesh alike; though it is no less effective when armed with the powerful and esoteric short-ranged weaponry uniquely developed for it.
