Legion Dreadnoughts require Drop Pods that are even larger than the orbital descent capsules employed by Legiones Astartes infantry, with a sturdier frame and more powerful engine designed to support their formidable machine shell. As a result, these armoured Drop Pods strike with devastating speed, making a dangerously meteoric descent from orbit to deliver their lethal cargo. These traits also allow them to be adapted into so-called Palisade Drop Pods, hosting heavy shield generators that can be deployed anywhere on the battlefield.
