Space Wolves Venerable Dreadnought

When one of the Imperium's Norse-tempered warriors falls but refuses to be done with the fight, he is interred in a walking war machine and woken only for the battles that matter. This is that machine: a hunched, heavy-shouldered walker with the sarcophagus set into its chest, a weapon arm to either side, and the pelts, fangs and knotwork ornament the chapter's artificers work into everything they touch. Venerable status means age and reputation, a centuries-old grudge given legs. On the table it plays as a slow, punishing centrepiece rather than another body in a squad, and it rewards a painter the same way, with enough surface story for a full afternoon of detail work. It suits players assembling a Fenrisian-themed proxy force for tabletop wargaming, or anyone who simply wants an imposing walker for the cabinet.
