    Dreadnought: Az Apátok Faszát!

    Uploaded by

    Noah Simpson
    The document discusses how the Grey Knights Dreadknight unit looks silly and poorly designed, as the pilot appears to be wearing Terminator armor inside another suit of armor. It argues that the design makes the pilot an easy target and looks like it was inspired by children's cartoons rather than practical military equipment. Overall, it criticizes the Dreadknight for having a design that invites mockery and does not seem properly thought out given the setting.

    nce of the Dreadknight is not problematic in itself -- a Dreadnought-sized


    suit of armor that doesn't require the operator to be near-dead is a
    reasonable thing for a chapter to have. This is especially true for the
    Grey Knights, as they regularly take on massively powerful daemons
    with relatively few Knights, and prefer to let their battle-brothers have
    their eternal rest rather than keeping them half-alive in a Dreadnought.
    The problem is that that it looks really silly. As in, "the pilot looks like he's
    in a baby carrier" silly, and from a distance it looks like a hideous
    mishmash of mechanical bits and pieces to boot. Even a Penitent
    Engine, which arguably has the same sort of shape, has the contrast of
    some hapless victim chained against an enormous metal monstrosity
    surrounding it, while armor on top of armor in the Dreadknight's case
    gives it no dominant contours or lines in the same way that, say, a
    Dreadnought or Battlesuit does.
    Combine this with the crunch giving the Dreadknight the saves of
    Terminator armor and the look of the pilot already wearing Termie
    armor, meaning by all accounts whenever he's getting hit, everyone with
    half a brain on the enemy's side is shooting him out of the middle, and
    you get a look so incompetently-designed that even "because grimdark"
    can't explain why it turned out that way. It really does look like the
    designer was watching Dexter's Laboratory and thought his backpack
    robot suit was great Imperium material, or they saw Alien at the time and
    thought that the Grey Knights needed power loaders. Well, if the
    Imperial Guard gets tractors with cannons it's only fair the Grey Knights
    get forklift trucks with feet...
    Add the Grey Knights' checkered reputation with the community up until
    6th Ed and you get what could be the undisputed champ of units
    kneecapped by fluff. Awesome as a Space Marine wearing a fuckoffhuge suit of armor to go beat up really big things could be, if it's not
    another toy for the shiny special snowflake chapter, it's also one that
    doesn't even have the courtesy to look sensibly designed. Cue mockery.
