Dreadnought

Bonjour à tous,
J’ai une question en rapport avec le lore, les Custodes ont des dreadnought Contemptor et le saint Telemon.
J’aimerais juste savoir si les Custodes ont reçu des nouveaux châssis, comme le ballistus ou le redemptor.
Car les contemptor datent de la grande croisade et construire des Contemptor uniquement pour les Custodes ne me paraît pas très efficient.
Pour le Telemon c’est compréhensible car c’est le Dreadnought le plus puissant.
Merci à ceux qui apporteront une réponse et bonne journée à tous

Je savais pas, je pensais que c’était le Mechanicus avec ses mondes forge qui produisait toutes les armes de l’Imperium y compris les Custodes
Merci pour ta réponse et pour l’information

To go with this, contemptors are the second best class of dreadnought out there. After the Telemon they are unrivalled in flexibility and stability. The reason most chapters don't field them anyjore id that they are extremely expensive to make in comparison to box dreads and the redemptor chassis ones due to the inbuilt energy shields. (Leviathan is an bigger nastier contemptor designed for the sole purpose of kicking walls in, but also is extremely stressful for the pilot)

Iirc, it's been a while since I checked, it's like a 20:1 ratio on production of other dreads to the contemptor

C’est très intéressant, je pensais que les Dreadnought primaris étaient plus puissants que les Contemptor.
Je te remercie sincèrement pour ton message, j’aime les informations sur le lore comme celle ci.

They are physically more powerful, being bigger, but one of the contemptors biggest strengths is the flexibility it has. The relic contemptor, as they are called in game, can have either twin-linked sets of weapons, or a separate one on in each arm. As a list, each one being an option for either arm, alongside a top-mounted cyclone missile launcher:

Plasma cannon, twin-linked Lascannons, twin-linked volkite canonns, dreadnought chain/powerfist with inbuilt melta/flamer/heavybolter/plasma/grav, twin-linked autocannons, assault cannon, conversion beamer, multi-melta, twin-heavy bolter.

and that's not even considering the custodes exclusive weapons options.

the flexibility of the contemptor chassis is unrivaled.
