Heavy war machine of the Adeptus Astartes
The Ballistus Dreadnought is a heavily armoured Space Marines weapons platform built to provide powerful ranged support. On the battlefield, it acts as a reliable anchor for your firing line, while in a collection it stands out thanks to its imposing frame, reinforced armour, and unmistakable Dreadnought silhouette.
Fits into Space Marines armies
The Ballistus Dreadnought fits naturally into Space Marines forces as a tough ranged support unit. It pairs well with infantry, elite units, and mobile elements by covering important lanes, supporting advances, and forcing the opponent to respect its presence at range.
Why add it to your army
- Adds durable long-range fire support to your force
- Offers a striking large model for armour and weapon painting
- Expands a Space Marines collection with a powerful armoured unit
Where the Ballistus Dreadnought shines
- Heavily armoured targets: Against tough models, vehicles, and elite units, it provides a serious threat your opponent cannot easily ignore.
- Armies pushing the centre: It can support your own units from range and punish enemies trying to move into key areas of the battlefield.
- Reliable ranged pressure: The Ballistus Dreadnought is ideal for players who want a solid fire support piece that can cover important areas, support advancing units, and make enemy movement more difficult.
