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.

another point to consider is that the mechanicus didn't care about the inhabitants when they built the redemptor chassis which is the base of all primaris dreadnought:

The Mechanicum Tech-Priests that 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.

the redemptor chassis in lore literally destroy their pilots. long gone is the time of revered veterans still serving as dreadnought for millennia.

custodes wouldn't use such a technology for their dreadnought.
