Dreadnought pilots literally last thousands of years and need to be shut off in-between combats so they don't go insane. 50 years is a heartbeat for these dudes, especially asleep. Dude when activated was simply pissed off
There are two dreadnoughts in campaign from what I've seen. On is Valtus, who appears in the missions *I haven't got that far* but the Ultramarine who got exploded is implied to be taken to be put into a dreadnought based on dialogue. Likely this chassis was in storage and pulled out because they had a marine who could use it then.
@@fonduby nope, the idea is this was a sarcophagus that was in a Castraferrum or an Ironclad, placed into the machine that would most certainly kill him... it's why I find the Redemptor in my eyes fails it's job as the job of a dreadnought is an eternal vigil for the emperor, to make sure both the current and future generations of a chapter (or originally legion) learn from the oldest and wisest marines there have been
"WHO AWAKENS ME FROM MY SLUMBER? IS IT TIME FOR BATTLE?" "Actually, brother dreadnought, we wanted to ask you if you know the password to the wifi?" "YOU LITTLE S-" "Hahaha, calm down brother dreadnought, I am only jesting this time, of course it's time for battle!"
@@amirhaikal6672 There is a sarcophagus installed. They actually zoom in on it in the video. The chassis just has a bunch of access panels open for maintenance.
They are meant to be pilotted, space marines just replaced the original cockpits because A) astartes are too big to fit B) grimderp If they made any sense, they'd put auxiliaries and pre-modification neophytes in them and have whole squads of boxy lads.
@@Nerthos they do have piloted Dreadnoughts in the form of the Invictor Warsuits, although they serve more of a reconnaissance role than a frontline one. That said, keeping the expensive and rarer Dreadnoughts for purely crippled marines makes more sense since then they can reuse them instead of retiring (most likely killing) them.

I like the devs being on the same wavelength as the model-designers and continuing the evolution of the technology we've always seen. Dreadnoughts were always two separate components: The chassis, and the sarcophagus. The sealed life support unit was previously mounted to the very front of the unit, and even the Venerable Dread's helmet was just a camera unit. Now, the chance to innovate after 10k+ years means the most valuable part of the Dreadnought, the pilot, gets more protection. How much of that protection is what keeps the harmful radiation inside and cooks the pilot, that's a different story.
I don’t think the radiation is a problem. It’s spewing smoke from its stacks. This is proven reliable thermic reactor tech which doesn’t cook the pilot. Though in depictions I’ve seen they tend to sound very similar to a plain ole internal combustion engine
@@matthewcaughey8898 Nah, that's just me being cheeky about the lore. It's very much part of the unit description in the Codexes. The radiation hazards to the pilot that've been in Dreadnought units like the Leviathan got brought over to the Redemptor. "Yet it is whispered that the advanced systems of the Redemptor are a curse as well as a blessing. The Martian Tech-priests in the service of Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl who first built these walking machines of destruction spared little thought to the health of the incumbent, seeing him as little more than another part to be interred or replaced as necessary. Many of those Redemptors that have fought for a sustained period have already had their sarcophagi replaced, their original pilots burned out by the intensity of the machine's destructive prowess. There have even been instances where the Redemptor Dreadnought's surging energies have leeched its occupant's life force until he is reduced to nothing but a sac of blackened organs, fit only to be reinterred, this time in a true mausoleum dedicated to his selfless sacrifice." The pilot is physically protected from external damage, yet the power supply is absolutely killing him.
For those who think you can ride this like a titan in titan fall then it is not to be a pilot of a dreadnought you must be in a state that your nearly dead to be able to use it and you will be entombed in inside it forever until you perish in battle or die due to its burning its pilot due to the variant of this nugget box of death.
Actually you don't technically have to be near death to pilot a dreadnought. It's simply that Space Marines reserve the honor (and burden) of being a dreadnought for those who nearly died and couldn't continue to fight without the sarcophagus's restorative properties.
I would fucking love to see boxnaughts in action again. Sure, longer arms look good, but extending ones are infinitely more cooler. "I brook no quarter"
It's theorised that it is meant to entomb Vallerus, the Sergeant friend of Chairon. A little earlier you can eavesdrop a Mechanicus demanding preparations for a Space Marine to undergo the sarcophagus interment.
@@tau-5794 There is a tradition mentioned in No Know Fear of changing the name of the warrior once they are entombed. However, there are plenty of other examples of the warrior keeping their name. I personally think you're right, but it's a fun lore tidbit.
50 years is pretty tame honestly. Some dont see action in centuries. Also, i love how the naught platform looks like some dude's garage that fixes cars as a hobby lmfao
i think the tile is inaccurate. the astartes is arguing against the use of the units. it is the adeptus mechanics that is arguing for it. and the dreadnought is a sarcapacus, operated by the astartes inside it, who is in term in stasis.
Dreadnoughts can sleep for hundreds of years at a time. Tech marines keep them sleeping to maintain their sanity only awaking them for battle. Some dreadnoughts have been around for 10k years like Bjorn the Felhanded.
This doesn't make sense. Dreadnoughts aren't like a tank as we see them today, but rather a venerated and honored brother who continues to serve even in death. It's not like technology has progressed much in the last 50 years that the dreadnought is somehow outdated or obsolete. This sounds like the person writing the script didn't know what dreadnoughts were.
When I first heard this, I thought it was saying the actual physical dreadnought hadn’t been used in 50 years and that they were putting in a new space marine into it, me thinking Varellus since some admech npcs talk about transporting a sarcophagus after Varellus died. Also this one has a plasma gun on the arm and is different from the ones in gameplay.
I really wanna know what kind of grease and cleaning method they made in 30k, so that dreadnoughts can function that well even with blood and grime from all battles. Wonder how often maintenance is done
I see all those that actually know WH40k lore have spoken up, but here goes. 50 years is a blink of eye for a dreadnaught, the sleep for thousands of year between battles.
Hell, some of them have even slept through the horus heresy. There was a dreadnought of the world eaters who was woken up after the heresy to fight ultramarines and was confused as hell. He didn't even have the nails that were given to the rest of the legion.
Not to be a nitpicking but 50 years doesn't make sense for a redemptor dreadnought, they haven't been around that long outside Carl's labs... at least since GW pushed the retcon of how long the indomitus crusaders lasted for. But even if that was the case, redemptors aren't like oldnoughts, they burn their pilots out after a while.

Only 50 years? Brother. Perhaps we should let him rest a bit.
Man those 50 years are some rookie numbers
No wonder that Dreadnought was so pissed off, he barely got any sleep by their standards
50 years is barely a car nap for most dreadnaughts lol
This was similar to an afternoon nap for a dreadnought
Wow, that dreadnought surely won't save our ass later
Whoa! It really does look like a metal coffin.
50 years? Thats a catnap to a Dreadnought.
The codex astartes forbids it, but I’ve got your back Brother.
You know they’ll only wake up Dreadnoughts when some seriously shit happen
Considering it's a Redemptor, not being used for 50 years means it was barely used at all, they're only about 100 years old.
On the scale of Dreadnought's, that's a light nap.
50 years to a Dreadnaught is a midday nap
50 years? They don't make Grandpas ancient like they used to... That's probably how long it takes a Scout to become a full Battle Brother.

50 years? some have been sleeping for THOUSANDS of years.
This sort of dread burns oùt its operator quickly, the marine is probably stating that the machine itself has sat idle for 50yrs.
This dreadnaught hasn't seen combat for 50 years well then he's well rested
Not for fifty years, so, just enough time for an oil change and wax job.
Only 50 years? Thats not even close to a tiny nap for a dreadnought.

The Dreadnought (plasma weapon) inside the battle barge is named Galatian. He is an unlockable Machine of War in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus.
