Smashing the Emperor’s enemies apart with giant metal fists is about as fun as it gets in the 41st Millennium, but do you know how you can have
twiceas much fun? Simple, have
twice as many fists. And now that the Chapter foundries of the Space Marines have discovered this blessed truth,
comes with a shiny new Brutalis Dreadnought.
The Brutalis Dreadnought is a purebred shock weapon designed for carnage. Like all Primaris Dreadnoughts, its high performance comes at the expense of the mortally wounded pilot within, whose damaged form is slowly burned out by the strain of operating such an awesome beast.
Those who endure such exertions still find their minds drifting away from their former selves, though in the eyes of the Chapter it is a small price to pay for their martial might. They fight with a pair of terrifying talons, which can rip tanks and infantry asunder.
The Strike profile of the Brutalis talon is utterly monstrous, packing enough Damage to tear the legs off a Chaos Knight. It’ll happily turn lesser infantry into canid chow, but a Sweep is more efficient – doubling the number of attacks is far more important against measly one-wound mortals.
But what if you prefer a fist over a talon? Well, the Brutalis fists hit with the force of a thunderbolt and come with built-in twin bolt rifles for added anti-infantry firepower.
Aircraft too cowardly to come into punching range? The twin-linked Icarus ironhail heavy stubber will teach them not to seek safety in the skies.
Add chassis-mounted heavy bolters into the mix and you can build a Brutalis Dreadnought with respectable amounts of anti-infantry firepower. If turning vehicles to mush is more your groove, a pair of multi-meltas strapped to the front will cook whatever you don’t crush.
Want to upgrade your wounded warriors into lean, mean, Ork-chopping machines? Pre-order Strike Force Agastus next month, which contains a Brutalis Dreadnought, a new Desolation Squad, a Primaris Lieutenant, and five Heavy Intercessors. Check back later this week as we pit it against a rogue’s gallery of fighty walkers to find out who reigns supreme.
