Editing Dreadnought (section)

===Castraferrum Pattern===
Is the name for the traditional "box" dreadnought that everyone is familiar with, comes in MkIV and MkV flavours (just so you know, MkIV are the ones with the helmet-head). Designed by the Mechanicus during the Great Crusade, specifically for its smaller size (to assist battle-brothers ''indoors''), while its reactor runs on pretty much any fuel and the chassis is completely customisable; hence, there are a terrific number of variations, though the Castraferrum is usually outfitted with a hydraulic claw with mounted bolter or flamer and a heavy ranged weapon.

* '''Hellfire Dreadnought:''' The most common variation of [[shooty]] dread, swaps out its close combat weapon like their [[Chain Weapon#Dreadnought Chainfist|Dreadnought Chainfist]], [[Power Weapon#Dreadnought Power Claw|Dreadnought Power Claw]] or [[Power Weapon#Dreadnought Power Fist|Dreadnought Power Fist]] for a [[Missile Launcher|missile launcher.]] (Not considered a separate pattern in the crunch because the "vanilla" dread statblock covers both punchy and Hellfire)
* '''Ironclad Dreadnought:''' Even more heavily armored melee dreadnoughts with a [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Seismic Hammer|Seismic Hammer]], [[Chain Weapon#Dreadnought Chainfist|Dreadnought Chainfist]], [[Power Weapon#Dreadnought Power Fist|Dreadnought Power Fist]], [[Power Weapon#Dreadnought Power Claw|Dreadnought Power Claw]], [[Hunter-Killer Missile]]s, and a built-in [[Ironclad Assault Launcher]], designed to put giant holes in tanks and bunkers. It may also be equipped with a [[Hurricane Bolter]] if you need a big blob of light infantry killed fast.
* '''Siege Dreadnought:''' Specialized bunker-busting Dreadnoughts equipped with [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Assault/Siege Drill|Assault Drills]] and [[Inferno Cannon]]s. If they manage to come close enough to any building, no matter how fortified, they would wreck it and burn the shit out of anyone inside.
* '''Venerable Dreadnoughts:''' Simply put, they're really old Dreadnoughts that have been locked up for a long time and as such are better at fighting due to experience. Also tend to get sleepy and lose their keys.
* '''Chaplain Dreadnoughts:''' Some Chapters have Venerable Dreadnoughts that used to be [[Chaplain]]s. [[awesome|This basically means they have all those special effects that Chaplains do in a Dreadnought body]]. What makes a Chaplain so special enough to be put into a Dreadnought besides those buffs, we have no idea. As [[Chapter Master]]s or [[Brother-Captain|Captains]] to lend their expertise to the chapter HQ or [[Techmarine|Masters of the Forge]] would make much more sense. One could guess that they are stuffed into Venerable Dreads or the larger more advanced variants below.

====Chapter Specific Dreads====
* '''[[Furioso Dreadnought]]:''' Heavily armored [[Blood Angels]] dreadnoughts with ''two'' close combat weapons designed to [[RIP AND TEAR]] lots of troops in brutal close combat! Sometimes they even put a blood-crazed maniac from the [[Death Company]] inside, which turns a Furioso into an unholy, uncontrollable, and unstoppable [[rape]] machine.
**'''[[Librarian Dreadnought|Furioso Librarian Dreadnoughts]]:''' Blood Angels can also lock [[psykers]] up in Dreadnoughts, creating <strike>un</strike>holy amalgamations called Furioso [[Librarians]]. In addition to the badassery above, they replace one of their fists with a [[Force Weapons|force weapon]] and can kill you with mind bullets. Furioso Librarians were once capable of flying (DAMN YOU [[Matt Ward|WAAAAARRRRDDDD]]), but no longer while they are between codices. As of 8th Codex, they indeed fly again.
* '''[[Mortis Dreadnought]]:''' A variant supposedly exclusive to the [[Dark Angels]] that sports two copies of the same ranged weapon, for maximum [[dakka]]. This was apparently due to the Dark Angels' talent for writing things down (for entirely practical reasons, like [[Fallen Angels|keeping track]] [[Dwarf|of grudges]], rather than writing down [[Codex Astartes|some bible for space marines]] or [[Lorgar|the repressed/begrudging teeming masses]]) as all Legions had access to this pattern, but only the Angels remembered how to make a leftie dreadnought ranged weapon that wasn't a missile launcher.
** ''' [[Deathwing Venerable Dreadnought|Deathwing Dreadnoughts]]:''' The Dark Angels venerable dreads are all members of the inner circle and so reserve special hatred for <s>[[The Fallen]]</s> FILTHY CHAOS SCUM.
* '''[[Doomglaive Dreadnought|Doomglaive Dreadnoughts]]:''' A specialist dreadnoughts used by the [[Grey Knights]], comes with a nemesis force weapon and a psycannon as standard. Can attempt cleave attacks in close combat and try to hit additional dudes.
* '''[[Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought]]:''' Not exactly unique in design compared to other Venerables, but the veteran [[Space Wolves|Wolves]] interred in them are so viking that they want to keep on vikinging even after death, meaning that the [[Techmarine|Iron Wolves]] of the chapter figured out how to give them a Blizzard Shield and a fucking huge Frost Axe. They lack ranged weapons but, you know, [[Awesome|Dreadnought-sized double-headed axe]]!
*'''[[Wulfen Dreadnought]]:''' Sometimes, a Space Wolf entombed in a Dreadnought succumbs to the Curse of the Wulfen, becoming a snarling metal beast whose violent temper makes him poorly suited for normal Dreadnought weaponry. Instead, the Iron Priests give him a great axe and a Great Wolf Claw and point him in the general direction of the enemy. The best-known of these is MURDERFANG, who has to be frozen solid with [[Helfrost Weaponry|Helfrost weaponry]] in between battles to prevent him from killing his battle-brothers.
