TEXT: DereDeo Pattern DreaDnought 
  185 Points
  Rather than being a general assault unit like others of its kind, the Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought is a dedicated heavy weapons platform, intended to combine 
  superior firepower with the flexibility and durability of a Dreadnought chassis. Originally used as a test-bed platform for a number of advanced Legiones Astartes 
  weapons systems, each Deredeo Pattern Dreadnought is operated by a mortally-wounded veteran of the Legion hard-wired into its life-support systems, combining 
  their hard-won wisdom with the Dreadnought's lethal heavy weapons.
  Deployed in limited numbers to each of the Legions, the Deredeo was treated as a specialist unit as it proved highly-resource intensive to manufacture and 
  maintain. Despite this, its undoubted survivability and killing power saw a resurgence in the pattern’s use after the initial wave of internecine strife during the 
  Horus Heresy, and it was in high demand by Traitor and Loyalist forces alike from the few Forge Worlds able to produce it.

  A Deredeo pattern 
  Dreadnought may be taken 
  as a Heavy Support choice 
  in a Space Marine Legion 
  Detachment, as found in  
  The Horus Heresy Legiones 
  Astartes – Age of Darkness 
  Army List book.
  
  Special Rules
  Atomantic Shielding
  The Deredeo pattern shares the Contemptor pattern’s system of defensive field 
  generators mounted inside its armour plating, and is powered by the enhanced 
  atomantic power core within.
  A Deredeo Dreadnought has a 5+ invulnerable save against shooting 
  attacks and explosions, and a 6+ invulnerable save against attacks 
  suffered in close combat. In addition, if the Deredeo suffers a Vehicle 
  Explodes damage result, add +1" to the radius of the blast.
  Helical Targeting Array
  The Helical array’s advanced augurs and sophisticated banks of combat-
  cogitators allow the Deredeo to track and destroy even the swiftest of targets with 
  ease. However, due to the Helical array’s delicacy and ravenous consumption of 
  power, the Deredeo must be immobile while the system is in operation.
  If the Deredeo chooses to neither move nor Run in its turn it may, if its 
  controlling player wishes, gain the Skyfire and Interceptor special rules 
  for that entire game turn (ie, both the controlling player’s turn and their 
  opponent’s following player turn) for all of its weapons except its heavy 
  bolters/heavy flamers.
  Atomantic Pavaise
  A highly experimental system developed by the Clave Nuathac sub-cult magos 
  of the Forge World of Anvilus, the atomantic pavaise was created with Zone 
  Mortalis operations in mind, turning the Deredeo pattern Dreadnought into a 
  mobile bulwark against the heaviest enemy weapons fire.
  This reinforced shield increases the Deredeo’s own invulnerable save to 
  4+ against shooting attacks, and grants friendly infantry models within 
  3" of the Deredeo’s base an invulnerable save of 6+ against shooting 
  attacks or boosts an invulnerable save they already possess by +1 (5+ 
  becoming 4+, etc) to a maximum of 3+. 
  Note that the pavaise’s bonus has no effect on invulnerable saves in 
  close combat, and its benefits do not stack with the effects of other 
  atomantic pavaises, or other special rules, psychic powers or items of 
  wargear which boost an existing invulnerable save.
  A Deredeo Dreadnought with an atomantic pavaise adds +D3 to its Blast 
  radius, rather than +1, if it explodes, and has an explosion Strength of 5.

  One Use
  Neural Overload: Any Infantry unit that suffers at least one Wound from this 
  weapon must immediately make a Leadership test once all attacks have been 
  resolved. If the Leadership test is failed, this unit may only fire Snap Shots in 
  the following turn. 
  Independent Tracking: This weapon may fire at a different target to that 
  of the Deredeo’s other shooting attacks if desired and ignores intervening 
  obstacles to line of sight in open terrain. When firing at vehicles, it attacks 
  their Side Armour value.
  Exoshock: If this weapon successfully scores a penetrating hit on a target roll 
  a D6. On the roll of a 4+, a second, automatic penetrating hit is inflicted on the 
  same target against which cover saves cannot be taken.
  Heat Seeker: Jink saves may not be taken against attacks with this special 
  rule.
  Deflagrate: After normal attacks by this weapon have been resolved, 
  count the number of unsaved wounds caused on the target unit. 
  Immediately resolve a number of additional automatic hits on the 
  same unit using the weapon’s profile equal to the number of unsaved 
  wounds – these can then be saved normally. Models in the targeted 
  unit must still be in range in order for these additional hits to take 
  effect. These additional hits do not themselves inflict more hits.
