Telemon Heavy Dreadnought

A Legio Custodes Telemon Heavy Dreadnought armed with an Arachnus Storm Cannon and Telemon Caestus with built-in Proteus Plasma Projector and a chassis-mounted Spiculus Bolt Launcher.

The Telemon Heavy Dreadnought was a rare Dreadnought variant utilised exclusively by the Legio Custodes during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. Fewer than a handful of Telemon Dreadnoughts were to be found within the ranks of the Legio Custodes, each intended to stand sentinel over its charges no matter the force brought against it. In part this rarity was due to the cost in labour and resources for the creation of such a superlative engine of war, for each bore at least one plate worked by the Emperor's own hand, and also the rarity of appropriate candidates to control them.

The honour of interment in one of the few existing Telemon sarcophagi was awarded only to the most celebrated warriors within the sodalities of the Legio Custodes, and until a worthy candidate found his end in battle, the Dreadnoughts stood silent and empty. Despite this, the sheer power of an unleashed Telemon-class Dreadnought far outweighed the trials of its construction, for few could stand against the array of esoteric, hand-crafted weapons that graced its chassis or the ferocious will and warrior skill of the master Custodian interred within. It is unknown if the Telemon Heavy Dreadnought is still in use by the Adeptus Custodes of the 41st Millennium.
