The '''Mortis Dreadnought''', also known as the '''Mortis Pattern Dreadnought''', is a variant of the standard Mars Pattern [[Dreadnought]]s used by the [[Adeptus Astartes]]. The Mortis Dreadnought designation is employed almost exclusively by the [[Dark Angels]] [[Chapter]] and their [[Unforgiven]] [[Founding|Successor Chapters]]. Other Chapters may use DreadnoughtsĀ with similar weapon configuration, but theyĀ are usually referred to simply as a Dreadnought configured for long-range combat or fire-support. The Mortis Pattern, like most Dreadnought variants, only differs from the standard Dreadnought in its armament loadout and the battlefield role it plays. Standard Mars Pattern Dreadnoughts are always equipped with a single long-range weapon arm, such as an [[Assault Cannon]], and a single arm ending in a [[Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon]], yet the Mortis Pattern Dreadnought replaces the close combat weapon arm with a second ranged combat weapon. The Mortis Dreadnought is capable of laying down a tremendous amount of firepower upon a target, and since the Dreadnought's body is such a stable firing platform it can continue moving while firing accurately.

In the time of the [[Great Crusade]], Dreadnought combat walkers primarily served as heavy assault units and highly mobile weapons support platforms for the Space Marine Legions. They were highly valued for their ability to endure under very heavy enemy fire and to operate in locations and theatres where traditional combat support vehicles would be impractical or downright impossible to use. Most in demand of all the types of Dreadnoughts in the arsenals of the Imperium were the [[Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought]], towering war machines that utilised a combination of machine systems recovered during the Great Crusade, principal amongst them the potent and ill-understood atomantic arc-reactor. When the ''Legiones Astartes'' Contemptor Dreadnought Talons went to war they were sometimes accompanied by specialist machines to protect them from air attack. Where possible, the Contemptor-Mortis was fielded, for this anti-air sub-pattern of the standard Contemptor Dreadnought was equipped with an array of powerful weapons specifically designed to bring down enemy flyers, potent targeting auguries that allowed it to lock onto and track multiple foes, as well as heavy field projectors able to withstand the inevitable storm of return fire its target was sure to unleash.

Able to target and destroy the foe at close range the Contemptor-Mortis was outfitted with an advanced Helical Targeting Array that allowed it to provide a Space Marine spearhead force with close anti-air support when needed. During the last years of the Great Crusade, the Contemptor-Mortis sub-pattern was widely used by both the [[Dark Angels]] and [[Iron Warriors]] [[Legion]]s, although it was used to some extent by all of the ''Legiones Astartes'' during this era. Ten millennia later, there remain several Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnoughts that are still operational. They are revered both as potent relics of the Imperium's Golden Age and as powerful weapons by those few Space Marine Chapters lucky enough to still possess them.

The Mortis Dreadnought is always equipped with two long-range weapon arms, and these two weapons are always the same. The [[Hellfire Dreadnought]], which is a common Dreadnought variant used by most Astartes Chapters, is the only other Dreadnought variant that is equipped with two long-range weapons, and one of those weapons is always a [[Missile Launcher]]. The Mortis Pattern Dreadnought is capable of being armed with two [[twin-linked ]][[Heavy Bolter]]s, two twin-linked [[Lascannons]], two twin-linked [[Autocannon]]s, or two Missile Launchers. These weapon options are capable of turning this pattern of Dreadnought into a highly effective anti-infantry or anti-armour machine, and unlike other Dreadnought variants, such as the [[Furioso Dreadnought]], the Mortis Dreadnought can remain safely at a distance from his target. The Mortis Dreadnought, like all Dreadnought variants, can also be outfitted with extra armour plating, smoke launchers and a searchlight.

MortisDreadnought02

Brother Kargat, a Mortis Pattern Mark V Castraferrum Dreadnought of the Red Scorpions Chapter, armed with dual twin-linked Lascannons

The Mortis Dreadnought, also known as the Mortis Pattern Dreadnought, is a variant of the standard Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnoughts used by the Adeptus Astartes. The Mortis Pattern, like most Dreadnought variants, only differs from the standard Dreadnought in its armament loadout and the battlefield role it plays. The standard Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought's loadout consists of a single long-range weapon arm, such as an Assault Cannon, and a single arm ending in a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon, yet the Mortis Pattern Dreadnought replaces the close combat weapon arm with a second ranged combat weapon. The Mortis Dreadnought is capable of laying down a tremendous amount of firepower upon a target, and since the Dreadnought's body is such a stable firing platform it can continue moving while firing accurately.

History

IH Contemptor Mortis Pattern2

An Iron Hands Legion Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought, Veneratii Urien, Order Quarii, Clan Vurgaan, armed with dual Kheres-pattern Autocannons

In the time of the Great Crusade, Dreadnought combat walkers primarily served as heavy assault units and highly mobile weapons support platforms for the Space Marine Legions. They were highly valued for their ability to endure under very heavy enemy fire and to operate in locations and theatres where traditional combat support vehicles would be impractical or downright impossible to use. Most in demand of all the types of Dreadnoughts in the arsenals of the Imperium were the Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought, towering war machines that utilised a combination of machine systems recovered during the Great Crusade, principal amongst them the potent and ill-understood atomantic arc-reactor. When the Legiones Astartes Contemptor Dreadnought Talons went to war they were sometimes accompanied by specialist machines to protect them from air attack. Where possible, the Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought was fielded, for this anti-air sub-pattern of the standard Contemptor Dreadnought was equipped with an array of powerful weapons specifically designed to bring down enemy flyers, potent targeting auguries that allowed it to lock onto and track multiple foes, as well as heavy field projectors able to withstand the inevitable storm of return fire its target was sure to unleash.

Able to target and destroy the foe at close range the Contemptor-Mortis was outfitted with an advanced Helical Targeting Array that allowed it to provide a Space Marine spearhead force with close anti-air support when needed. During the last years of the Great Crusade, the Contemptor-Mortis and Mortis Dreadnought sub-patterns were widely used by both the Dark Angels and Iron Warriors Legions, although it was used to some extent by all of the Legiones Astartes during this era. Ten millennia later, there remain several Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnoughts that are still operational. They are revered both as potent relics of the Imperium's Golden Age and as powerful weapons by those few Space Marine Chapters lucky enough to still possess them.

Armament

MortisDreadnought002

A Mortis Pattern Mark V Castraferrum Dreadnought of the Dark Angels Chapter armed with twin-linked Autocannons

The Mortis Dreadnought is always equipped with two long-range weapon arms, and these two weapons are always the same. The Hellfire Dreadnought, which is a common Dreadnought variant used by most Astartes Chapters, is the only other Dreadnought variant that is equipped with two long-range weapons, and one of those weapons is always a Missile Launcher. The Mortis Pattern Dreadnought is capable of being armed with two twin-linked Heavy Bolters, two twin-linked Lascannons, two twin-linked Autocannons, two Missile Launchers, two Heavy Plasma Cannons or two Assault Cannons. These weapon options are capable of turning this pattern of Dreadnought into a highly effective anti-infantry or anti-armour machine, and unlike other Dreadnought variants, such as the Furioso Dreadnought, the Mortis Dreadnought can remain safely at a distance from his target. The Mortis Dreadnought, like all Dreadnought variants, can also be outfitted with Extra Armour Plating, Smoke Launchers and a Searchlight. During the 31st Millennium Mortis Dreadnoughts, like their Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought cousins were equipped with the advanced Helical Targeting Array, unfortunately by the time of the 41st Millennium most Astartes Chapters seem to have lost the means to produce or otherwise acquire these upgrades.
