Gameplay[edit]
The player is the captain of a large spacecraft and uses projectile weapons to attack. The player is able to choose between several classes of ships, each with drawbacks and advantages in categories like speed and size. The ships are massive and are intended to give the feel of being a commander, not a rogue bounty hunter. As a result, gameplay involves large amounts of strategy and positioning. In addition to positioning the ship and choosing targets, the player may also allocate power to various parts of the ship. These areas include shields, weapons and engines.[2]
Multiplayer[edit]
In multiplayer, coordinated attacks and focus fire are important. Other players may choose to heal a damaged teammate. Matches last around ten minutes and players may switch ship classes after death depending on the match type.[3]

Dreadnoughts are war incarnate, towering machines that advance forwards with thunderous strides, fiery death roaring from the myriad of heavy weapons mounted on their hulls.
They are terrifying foes, fighting with all the skill and ferocity of a Space Marine, but combined with the durability and firepower of a battle tank.Dreadnoughts are often mistaken by mortal observers for huge suits of battle armour or; they are similar to both and yet neither. Contents HistoryA Pre-Heresy during an action.Dreadnoughts have their roots far back in the, and have endured in idiosyncratic forms both on and with the techno-barbaric warlords of as well as scattered human realms throughout the. Some of these individual relics were still in service during the and early years of the - although many times re-tenanted over the millennia.Brought together under the banner of the Imperium, many patterns of Dreadnoughts existed and it was in latter-day conjunction with the superhuman physiology of the that this technology had reached its zenith. By the 41st Millennium, the art of their construction has long since been lost, the arcane knowledge required passing into ritualised mythology, and each Chapter's Dreadnoughts are treasured relics.They are a living embodiment of the, representing the ultimate fusion of the biological and the mechanical, as each one contains a living, sentient being. The pilots encased in the shell of a Dreadnought often have memories stretching back for millennia, and these ancient warriors are a tangible link to their Chapter's past and heritage.In the 41st Millennium there exist few examples of Dreadnought patterns beyond the Castraferrum pattern, with the more advanced being an extremely rare sight. Other patterns, such as the and are even rarer, with very few examples known to still exist, only to be removed from a 's armoury during the times of greatest desperation.Castraferrum Pattern DreadnoughtsThe Castraferrum Pattern Dreadnought is the most common pattern of Dreadnought used by the of the Adeptus Astartes in the 41st Millennium.
The following section detail all known information on the Castraferrum Dreadnought.HistoryThe majority of Dreadnoughts in use by the conform to the pattern known as the Castraferrum, of which the Mars Castraferrum Pattern Mark IV and Mark V are the most common. In appearance, the Castraferrum is very different from other types, very few of which exist outside of the stasis-sealed reliquary chambers of the Adeptus Astartes.It is not as tall as such venerated relics as the and its armour is said to be configured far more to the fore than the unhallowed. Some claim that the older Unification classes of proto-Dreadnoughts dating back to the time of the could be piloted by non-Astartes warriors, but the Castraferrum can only be fully controlled by a Space Marine, thanks to his unique physiology and mental conditioning.Ancient and incomplete archival fragments suggest that the Castraferrum Pattern was introduced in order to meet a range of tactical challenges.
It is configured for direct assaults, the being the ultimate expression of this role. It also excels in missions such as starship boarding actions, tunnel fights and combat deep inside densely built.Here, its lower profile allows the Castraferrum to negotiate low-ceilinged passageways that the taller Contemptor Pattern would be unable to pass along. The true reason, however, that the Castraferrum remains in common use while the Contemptor and other patterns are rarely seen lies with the technology utilised within its many systems. Instead of the ill-understood and of the Contemptor Pattern, the Castraferrum uses an adaptable thermic reactor and other such technological systems already found within a wide range of current Adeptus Astartes war machines.ArmamentA Castraferrum Mark V Dreadnought of the.The standard Castraferrum Pattern Mark IV or Mark V Dreadnought carries a heavy ranged weapon on its right arm and the left arm is equipped with a.
The latter is usually a Dreadnought or Power Claw with either a or fitted below the forearm, or in the case of the Mark IV fitted to the side of its main chassis.Though the Dreadnought's Power Fist shares the same name, it is not at all similar to the melee weapons also called Power Fists used by other armed forces of the Imperium. Unrestricted by size or weight, Dreadnought Power Fists are vastly more powerful than ones carried by Imperial infantrymen, even Space Marine. The Dreadnought's Power Fist is (like the unwieldy infantry-borne Power Fist and Chainfist) strikingly effective against heavy armour.This, combined with the Dreadnought's own impressive unmodified strength makes the fist deadly to all, even heavily armoured foes like a Space Marine. Also, the Dreadnought's heavy vehicle armour means that even those that survive the initial assault can do little more than wait for the inevitable. The ranged weapons used by standard Castraferrum Dreadnoughts include, or a.
