During the Horus Heresy itself, it appears that many malign incidents involving the Dreadclaw reached almost epidemic levels amongst the Loyalist Legions. Such was the ill-feeling these Dreadclaws created that rumours soon spread that they were somehow corrupted with a machine curse not seen since the Dark Age of Technology. The degree of self-awareness shown by the Dreadclaw was a source of controversy from its very first deployment, and matters only worsened over time. Near the end of the Horus Heresy, the use of the Dreadclaw Drop Pod became more widespread, especially within those Legions that favoured the highly aggressive nature of its Machine Spirit. During these dark times it was found to be one of the most effective ways of deploying Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought Talons directly into the thick of battle. The Apocrypha also states that its deployment was a troubled one and not universally accepted, leading to the Forge World of its origin being erased from all record. The Dreadclaw is recorded in the Balthus Apocrypha as one of the last combat craft to be commissioned by the Imperium of Man before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. The Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw was first used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade, predominantly by the Sons of Horus Legion to land assault troops during the heat of battle, but with the outbreak of the Horus Heresy the Dreadclaw saw increased use amongst other Legions.
6 Adeptus Mechanicus Technical SpecificationsĪnvillus Dreadclaws flying through the void. The Dreadclaw is known within some Imperial Navy circles as "The Touch of Death," and the talon-like shape of the Dreadclaw assault boat is greatly feared. They are, however, still deployed by the Chaos Space Marines of the dreaded Traitor Legions. The Anvillus Dreadclaw, and all the other types of Dreadclaws, are no longer used by the military forces of the Imperium in the late 41st Millennium. The Anvillus Dreadclaw is also able to board enemy spacecraft by attaching itself to the hull and then burning a breach with its Melta-Cutters, allowing the infantry within to assault the enemy voidship directly. The Anvillus Dreadclaw was designed to return to orbit after its initial landing to move units from battlefield to battlefield or even to extract troops from a planet's surface. The Anvillus Dreadclaw differs from other older Drop Pod types in that it is able to take off again after landing under its own power. The Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod, also known as the Anvillus Dreadclaw, or simply the Dreadclaw, is a unique type of Drop Pod that was used by the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Hope you enjoy, any comments and questions please enter below.An Anvillus Pattern Dreadclaw Drop Pod during an assault Moral of the story is DONT AIM FOR A MOUNTAIN! 1 test, hit a mountain and rolled all the way down, lost 2 hatch ramps and 1 passenger, still had all important components still managed to stand upright and majority of crew survived. 6 Tests successful with lots of damage but none to important comonents, hatch ramps take most of the damage. After collision and rolling around for a bit, hit the reverse ramps button and the pod should right itself and everyone can disembark FLY DIRECTLY AT PLANET -> ENSURE BASE AND LANDING GEAR ARE POINTING AT GROUND -> BRACE. However you will need to add the extra materials needed to do so in the container. It is the quickest possible method of landing on a planet (and surviving) with enough resources to establish a basic base of operations. It can survive impacts onto a planet or asteroid while travelling at 104.4m/s (Max vanilla speed). It also needed to be as small as possible to be stored and launched from another ship. This craft is designed to be as lightweight resources-wise as possible. If you want to repaint it in Space Marine Chapter colours then be my guest :) This design was basically thrown together so dont expect perfection but it is great fun to use and play with.Īnd yes it is inspired by Games Workshops Warhammer 40k Space Marines all credit where due, but dont ask me to try and fit a dreadnaught in there. This is a drop pod designed to be launched from a large orbital craft directly to the planet's surface. This will probably be the ONLY craft i design to crash on purpose.
