@@zenoblues7787 being a dreadnought sucks, seeing the new fresh faced marines be so dumb and innocent probably makes the dreadnought feel like an old grandparent telling the grandkids stories of their youth and the crazy things they did, probably the second thing dreadnoughts enjoy, the first of course is the field of battle

I feel for that Dreadnought. Constantly being awoken for silly reasons like the wi-fi password, pizza, carpeting, and the TV remote. The birthday card gets a pass though. If only he was like that one Blood Angels Dreadnought that drinks blood. So he could have eaten the pizza. I mean, I personally would still want to eat pizza even after enturnment in a Dreadnought sarcophagus.

Does kinda suck for the dreadnought as he degrades with each time he awakens but at the same time, as others have pointed out, there can be some appreciation for him still being included in "normal" activities, he is still their brother and not some meat in a walking tank who's only purpose is to kill
i think the iron hands keep their dread awake, and yea i think they should get a good wake up, and check up more often, might help with their degradation some
Paradoxically, waking up jumping from battle to battle over many years with almost no other activity as Astartes may be one of the causes of degradation.
Degradation only happens from the stress of time passing so willy-nilly from what I understand. A dreadnought awake like this one shouldn't bother him much, especially when you consider this particular pair of marines to be the exception and that one day he'll wake up to fine time has once again slipped by decades amd that those two marines were killed at some point. Grimdark but yeah.
Oh no you are horribly mistaken, to be turned into a dready is an honor for the loyalists while for chaos its an absolute pain and no chaos marines wants to: For one because unlike loyalists that get to sleep when not used, the chaos dreadnoughts are stripped of their armaments and hung like a key chain all the while staying *wide* awake and slowly turning insane as time goes on Another is that the chaos marine in said dreadnought will feel constant despair from not only its unrest but also the fact they can't really feel the thrill of battle, they can't feel the weapons in their hands and the gods won't just give blessings to a corpse so theres that overall being a traitor dreadnought or hellbrute is a nightmare in of itself and because of this they usually seek early death. Hell just listen to Dawn Of War 2: Retribution Chaos Dreadnought quotes, where as the loyalist counterpart is calm and wise, you'll be mostly hearing AAAAARRRRGGGHH!!! AAAA!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!
@@ashraffhashrin4196 yeah l remember a time in one of the books there's a part were a mortality wounded chaos marine is literally being dragged of the battlefield to be turned into a dreadnought. And the whole time he's screaming for them to just kill him. He was pleading with them to just put him out of his misery. They refused.
I would like an alternative version of this, a dreadnought whose mind is particularly resistant to damage upon awakening, but perhaps whose chapter isn't very active. Or perhaps the chapter master doesn't want to waste him on all the small skirmishes they have. So he still spends long stretches alone. But his marine buddy visits him constantly about trivial matters, which makes him happy.
@Mati Hooti well, no, there no real example of space marines acting childish like asking where the remote is, space marine are just child soldier, hell, even the Primarchs main goal was just to made their father proud
@@eu29lex16I think that was just the 30k ones from the primarchs homeworlds. Such as when Lion was found he recruited many knights of his homeworld to become Astartes.
On the other hand, Dreadnaughts would be like the grandfathers of the chapters. Sleeps, wakes up, on life support, occasionally gives stories and wisdom to them youngin's.
I think being awoken periodically and told about current events would be nice. Being out of place for 20K years not knowing who your next enemy is, some new chaos tau nurgle beast on the field. etc.
Unpleasant thought: At some point, that same ultramarine may join the Emperor sooner and not return to bug and annoy the Dread. Maybe he'll wonder where he went.
The reason the Dreadnought is only supposed to be awakened in dire situations is because every time they are awakened they lose more and more of their mind, eventually losing it entirely and no longer having any idea of the person they once were.
I love how after the first time where the dreadnought was awoken about the wifi password, the ultramarine in mkII armor wasn't there to wake up the dreadnought anymore, only the other guy.
The other guy did also wake him up. he probably was the one who asked the dreadnaught about his storm bolter and who'd win in a fight between a krork and a carnifex.
This is exactly how I want to be treated when my war torn irradiated body is fused with machinery and made semi immortal. I have such a need for dreadnoughts just grumbling over their fellow brothers like a big brother rolls his eyes at his competent siblings squabbles
@@yesman350 Hell even their names sounds Italian such as Roboutte Guilleman, Titus, Sidonus, Leandros, Cato Sicarius, Varro Tigurius... I mean most of these sound mostly Roman but then again Rome is in Italy.
@@yesman350 Not italian but romans Its not like GW have taken exemple of one the best empire than the humanity have know for their imperium. Like the latin and the aquila
It is not endless wars, nor the March of time that drive dreadnoughts to insanity, it is the little brothers who end up being little shits to the Emporor's finest
I'm surprised he wasn't upset about not being woken up to help dispose the corrupt planetary governer with all the pizza coupons. Secondly the blood angels worked out a way for their dreadnoughts to drink blood still, I'm sure they can figure out a pizza. I know I would want one even if it had to be liquidized first into a nutrient solution.
That is an oddly, extraordinarily, saint-like patient Dreadnought. A grumpy, osteoarthritis-ridden grandpa that tolerates the antics of his grandchildren.
I honestly think, even though the punchline is meh, this is your best video yet. Thank you dreadanon. (P.S. are we ever going to see more of the Marines Malevolent chapter convert to Lemonade Stand Marines?)
That gave me a chuckle. Dreadnoughts always have a special place in my heart and the voice work on this one was pretty good too! That and them being like the 'old' men of the chapter always makes these sorts of interactions fun.
The sweetest Warhammer content i have seen this winter. I think dreadnoughts exist in constant pain, but i wonder if they would like to be awoken for historical events, for example, greeting Guilliman when he returned. Maybe even a dreadnought that lived when he was still around, I think he would feel honored to greet his primarch back
It's times like this when you remember that most astartes have known nothing but their battle-brothers since they were 14 or younger. They're all a bunch of immortal teenage boys under the supervision of older immortal teenage boys.
"Yo, that ending dialogue from the dreadnought was unironically really good VA Work for a dreadnought. I'd imagine that'd be how they sound on the battlefield, assuming they had reason to speak.
Look I get it, I like to sleep too but there's a time when one must accept that their old sleep routine will not suffice and they must adopt a new one, besides even with a sleep pattern to match one's brothers you'd probably still outlive the brothers inside the shiny new Dreadnoughts, that's worth something surely.

Grimdark but yeah.
How it feels being the only experienced guy left at your job
This is all too real for me right now.. Fuck, you just blew my mind
I like to think this is one of many nightmares a dreadnought turned traitor has while sleeping as the warp whisper in their mind
Oh no you are horribly mistaken, to be turned into a dready is an honor for the loyalists while for chaos its an absolute pain and no chaos marines wants to:
For one because unlike loyalists that get to sleep when not used, the chaos dreadnoughts are stripped of their armaments and hung like a key chain all the while staying *wide* awake and slowly turning insane as time goes on
Another is that the chaos marine in said dreadnought will feel constant despair from not only its unrest but also the fact they can't really feel the thrill of battle, they can't feel the weapons in their hands and the gods won't just give blessings to a corpse so theres that
overall being a traitor dreadnought or hellbrute is a nightmare in of itself and because of this they usually seek early death. Hell just listen to Dawn Of War 2: Retribution Chaos Dreadnought quotes, where as the loyalist counterpart is calm and wise, you'll be mostly hearing AAAAARRRRGGGHH!!! AAAA!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!
@@ashraffhashrin4196 yeah l remember a time in one of the books there's a part were a mortality wounded chaos marine is literally being dragged of the battlefield to be turned into a dreadnought. And the whole time he's screaming for them to just kill him. He was pleading with them to just put him out of his misery. They refused.
@@ashraffhashrin4196yeah, I remember how they were screaming "At last!" while dying. Poor souls, even though heretics.
I mean they were thoughtful and brought pizza to him. That alone is worthy of the emperors blessing
The detail i love the most is how the Dreadnought is called "Brother Dormilón".
Bjorn the Fellhanded: "First time?"
I would like an alternative version of this, a dreadnought whose mind is particularly resistant to damage upon awakening, but perhaps whose chapter isn't very active. Or perhaps the chapter master doesn't want to waste him on all the small skirmishes they have. So he still spends long stretches alone. But his marine buddy visits him constantly about trivial matters, which makes him happy.
"There is no division of labor in the Codex Astartes" The ultimate comeback.
Pretty lore-accurate, seeing that all SM are child soldiers. Their missing formative years would leave some mark on their maturity.
Ngl you have a point tbh
I mean, is it? I don't recall any example of a space marine behaving like that in any piece of the lore...
@Mati Hooti well, no, there no real example of space marines acting childish like asking where the remote is, space marine are just child soldier, hell, even the Primarchs main goal was just to made their father proud
@@Matihood1yeah, many space marines were already mature by the time they enrolled.
@@eu29lex16I think that was just the 30k ones from the primarchs homeworlds. Such as when Lion was found he recruited many knights of his homeworld to become Astartes.
“Ugh…tech support did you turn it off and on again?“ -techmarine dreadnaught probably
The Dreadnought thought he was beyond death, but here he is, having an aneurysm.
On the other hand, Dreadnaughts would be like the grandfathers of the chapters.
Sleeps, wakes up, on life support, occasionally gives stories and wisdom to them youngin's.
I think being awoken periodically and told about current events would be nice. Being out of place for 20K years not knowing who your next enemy is, some new chaos tau nurgle beast on the field. etc.
Yeah, keeps them feeling human and as a proper member of the chapter.
Couple more centuries of this and he'll qualify for a transfer to the Angry Marines.
Unpleasant thought:
At some point, that same ultramarine may join the Emperor sooner and not return to bug and annoy the Dread.
Maybe he'll wonder where he went.
maybe he'll miss the interaction?
1:30 Just bribe the Mechanicus tech support with toasters and they will be more than happy to help.
Maybe include a tv or two
He really is so cordial for such an instrument of holy destruction
Those Marines're a little confused, but their hearts(s) are in the right place.
This is excellent Venerable Brother DreadAnon!
Please make these reoccurring characters!
The reason the Dreadnought is only supposed to be awakened in dire situations is because every time they are awakened they lose more and more of their mind, eventually losing it entirely and no longer having any idea of the person they once were.
I love how after the first time where the dreadnought was awoken about the wifi password, the ultramarine in mkII armor wasn't there to wake up the dreadnought anymore, only the other guy.
Oh gee, that's kinda sad to be honest. This dreadnaught probably doesn't realise that yet, which is worse.
The other guy did also wake him up. he probably was the one who asked the dreadnaught about his storm bolter and who'd win in a fight between a krork and a carnifex.
I means I can understand why they chose to go with the dreadnaught, especially with the recent dark mechanicum scam operations going on as of now
Dreadanon, you have been a shining astronomicon in a post-TTS dark age.
Seriously your vids have been getting me back into 40k. Thanks bro
This is exactly how I want to be treated when my war torn irradiated body is fused with machinery and made semi immortal.
I have such a need for dreadnoughts just grumbling over their fellow brothers like a big brother rolls his eyes at his competent siblings squabbles
Ah, the Adeptus Pizzatatus always provides more than adequate delivery service to the Space Marine chapters of our glorious god emperor
"What have I been awoken for brother?"
"would you like to sign my petition?"
Brother Dreadnought is so polite
Brother Dormilón😂😂😂 Genius!!!
(Hermano Sleepy)
If you think this is worse, Chaos does this to their dreadnoughts and humiliate them over and over. Every single day.
Seriously tho, a Krork VS a Carnifex, that's a fight I would like to see.
Krork vs 6 Carnifexes might be a better fight. 1v1 the Carni gets absolutely destroyed. Krorks are NASTY, lol
Dreadnought secretly loves those little moments, he's just old
I feel like I'm missing something about the pizza joke
Ultramarines are technically Italian
@@yesman350 Hell even their names sounds Italian such as Roboutte Guilleman, Titus, Sidonus, Leandros, Cato Sicarius, Varro Tigurius... I mean most of these sound mostly Roman but then again Rome is in Italy.
I thought it was a Pizzagate joke
@@nobodyspecial1699 Are you saying the Ultrasmurfs killed Epstein?
@@yesman350
Not italian but romans
Its not like GW have taken exemple of one the best empire than the humanity have know for their imperium.
Like the latin and the aquila
It is not endless wars, nor the March of time that drive dreadnoughts to insanity, it is the little brothers who end up being little shits to the Emporor's finest
It is now my headcanon that dreadnoughts are awoken from their sleep every year to sign birthday cards.
That's just too wholesome to pass up.
I'm surprised he wasn't upset about not being woken up to help dispose the corrupt planetary governer with all the pizza coupons. Secondly the blood angels worked out a way for their dreadnoughts to drink blood still, I'm sure they can figure out a pizza. I know I would want one even if it had to be liquidized first into a nutrient solution.
Now this will increase his insanity state
Y'know the password is on the back/bottom of the router right?
Mechanicus: HERESY!
I kinda hoped that birthday card was for the dreadnought
I'm just happy to see Mk.3 and Mk.4 armour.
That is an oddly, extraordinarily, saint-like patient Dreadnought. A grumpy, osteoarthritis-ridden grandpa that tolerates the antics of his grandchildren.
I dont know if this a meme bc this sounds like the lore
This animation is surprisingly wholesome makes me want to have a 'dread-gramps' to tell me stories.
I honestly think, even though the punchline is meh, this is your best video yet. Thank you dreadanon.
(P.S. are we ever going to see more of the Marines Malevolent chapter convert to Lemonade Stand Marines?)
That gave me a chuckle. Dreadnoughts always have a special place in my heart and the voice work on this one was pretty good too! That and them being like the 'old' men of the chapter always makes these sorts of interactions fun.
The happy home paradise music for the interior decorating segment was perfect.
The sweetest Warhammer content i have seen this winter. I think dreadnoughts exist in constant pain, but i wonder if they would like to be awoken for historical events, for example, greeting Guilliman when he returned. Maybe even a dreadnought that lived when he was still around, I think he would feel honored to greet his primarch back
I'd be flattered if I was him. Even thought he lost most of his body and is more relic than human, they still view him as one of their fellows.
Yes, I also would want to be treated as a mother brother and not a relic for war
And I also want to be happy
i'd be like bjorn ngl
Reminds me of the Saga of Bjorn and the increasing furryness of the Space Wolves.
bjorn is just grumpy he is sober >.>; and cant get drunk anymore
Link for vid?
Brother Quandalius Dinglian do be a true warrior of the Imperium.
As soon as their older battle brother hears the words uttered mechanicus tech support. he knows he wasn't awakened out of laziness; but necessity.
this is honestly one of my favourite videos ever i need more dreadnought shenanigans
At the end I thought he was giving the birthday to the dreadnought because it was his birthday.
I want to thank Flashgitz for getting me into Warhammer 40K so I could eventually find this masterpiece (specifically 4:07)
I fucking love this lmao
this deserves a sub. keep up the great work
I've recently started getting into Warhammer, and I'm loving this endless rabbit hole I've fallen into.
"go wake up your father"
7 year old me:
He claims he is not an interior decorator, but surely he has killed at least 17 people!
The fact that his weapons are disabled is probably the only reason they are still alive.
i love how when the marines mention tech support the dread is just like "understandable"
then the birthday you can hear the regret like "oh shit....."
I do wonder what guardsmen would think of the pizza of our time.
It's times like this when you remember that most astartes have known nothing but their battle-brothers since they were 14 or younger.
They're all a bunch of immortal teenage boys under the supervision of older immortal teenage boys.
Brother Dormilon haha! That's brilliant!
omg I love this so much. the chewing in the mic kills me but it's worth it.
The Emperor provides!... spotty internet.
The delivery of "who would win between Gork and a carnifex" got me
Lmao these are getting better
See, the birthday card WAS important, the remote, not so much.
Id just sit there and listen to grandpa brother dreadnought talk about war stories in the holy emperors glorious name.
"I have no arms and I must disipline my little brothers."
Better dreadnought voice effects than the recent trailer, lol.
"Yo, that ending dialogue from the dreadnought was unironically really good VA Work for a dreadnought. I'd imagine that'd be how they sound on the battlefield, assuming they had reason to speak.
"There is no division of labour in the codex astartes"
"Brother out underwear predate the horus heresy (mk3 iron and i think mk 2 crusade iirc)
He’s pissed brother
Look I get it, I like to sleep too but there's a time when one must accept that their old sleep routine will not suffice and they must adopt a new one, besides even with a sleep pattern to match one's brothers you'd probably still outlive the brothers inside the shiny new Dreadnoughts, that's worth something surely.
The fact I just learned that the awakening ritual takes hrs makes this even funnier now
cant believe this masterpiece was made over 10 years ago
Christ bless you, truly good stuff man
