Elite warriors of the Legiones Astartes earn the right to wear immense suits of battle plate known as Tactical Dreadnought Armour, which combines the very best in defensive technology with powerful weapons to create some of the finest assault troops around. Earlier suits of Cataphractii-pattern armour traded mobility for even greater resilience, with powerful built-in shield generators and slab-like pauldrons ensuring that only the most powerful of weapons could break through to harm the veteran inside.

This unit is armed with a combi-bolter and mighty power fist. This slow but powerful melee weapon is wreathed in a disruptive power field and can crush right through their fellow Terminators with ease, making it notorious as one of the finest Space Marine-killing tools around. One Terminator in this unit can replace their combi-bolter with a heavy flamer.
