Type: WH40K Space Marine Dreadnought - Contemptor Pattern

The Dreadnought is a bipedal walker, used by the Space Marines of the Imperium of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought is an archaic design, mostly used in the time of the Horus Heresy. The Contemptor Pattern has a more humanoid form than the later Castraferrum Pattern.

It has variants:

Contemptor Prime: The original version.

Contemptor-Achillus Class: Armed with a two-handed halberd. Used by the Adeptus Custodes.

Contemptor-Cortus Class: Very similar to the Prime. It can be armed with one ranged weapon arm.

Contemptor-Galatus Class: Armed with a sword and a shield. Used by the Adeptus Custodes.

Contemptor-Incaendius Class: It has a jump pack.

Contemptor-Mortis Class: It can be armed with two ranged weapon arms.

Mhara Gal: A Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought, tainted by Chaos. Used by the Word Bearers.

Osiron Pattern: It has Psyker abilities. The helmet has a crown. Used by the Thousand Sons.
