      @ashraffhashrin4196 Рік тому +43

      Oh no you are horribly mistaken, to be turned into a dready is an honor for the loyalists while for chaos its an absolute pain and no chaos marines wants to:
      For one because unlike loyalists that get to sleep when not used, the chaos dreadnoughts are stripped of their armaments and hung like a key chain all the while staying *wide* awake and slowly turning insane as time goes on
      Another is that the chaos marine in said dreadnought will feel constant despair from not only its unrest but also the fact they can't really feel the thrill of battle, they can't feel the weapons in their hands and the gods won't just give blessings to a corpse so theres that
      overall being a traitor dreadnought or hellbrute is a nightmare in of itself and because of this they usually seek early death. Hell just listen to Dawn Of War 2: Retribution Chaos Dreadnought quotes, where as the loyalist counterpart is calm and wise, you'll be mostly hearing AAAAARRRRGGGHH!!! AAAA!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!

In both the Night Lords and Word Bearers trilogy it the Marines are always stepping on eggshells when they speak to the Dreadnought characters in those books. Obviously with Chaos Dreadnoughts they’re always more psychotic than Loyalist ones.

    I would like an alternative version of this, a dreadnought whose mind is particularly resistant to damage upon awakening, but perhaps whose chapter isn't very active. Or perhaps the chapter master doesn't want to waste him on all the small skirmishes they have. So he still spends long stretches alone. But his marine buddy visits him constantly about trivial matters, which makes him happy.

  • @sleeplesshollow4216
