The honour of interment in one of the few existing Telemon sarcophagi was awarded only to the most celebrated warriors within the sodalities of the Legio Custodes, and until a worthy candidate found his end in battle, the Dreadnoughts stood silent and empty. Despite this, the sheer power of an unleashed Telemon class Dreadnought far outweighed the trials of its construction, for few could stand against the array of esoteric, hand-crafted weapons that graced its chassis or the ferocious will and warrior skill of the master Custodian interred within. Brother Faustus - Brother Faustus is a Furioso Dreadnought of the Blood Angels Chapter. Before being interred into the armoured sarcophagus at the heart of a Dreadnought Faustus was a Veteran Assault Marine.

Ancient Rylanor was the Ancient of Rites of the III rd Legion, and he held the responsibility of overseeing the progression of new Legion recruits from novice to one of Fulgrim's Chosen, and was also said to be able to perceive a lie the moment it was told. He was normally stationed aboard the Emperor's Children vessel Andronius, where Rylanor maintained the Hall of Rites located there. Rylanor was wounded in combat against the Eldar several decades before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, yet still fulfilled his duties as the Ancient of Rites. Ancient Rylanor did not side with his Legion and Primarch in their rebellion against the Emperor, and fought against his own Legion during the Istvaan III Atrocity, where it is presumed that he fell in combat.

Astartes who find themselves interred within a Leviathan will pay a heavy toll; either with their life, or their reason. Brother Fidelis - Brother Fidelis is a Mark V Aegis Hellfire Dreadnought and former Grey Knights' 5 th Brotherhood Captain. Fidelis was mortally wounded in combat with Vexcarnel the Blue, also known as "The Beast of Barac." One jointed arm of the Redemptor is given over either to a devastating Heavy Onslaught Gatling Cannon -- a rotary weapon that can chew through a band of Heretic Astartes in a single pass -- or a Macro Plasma Incinerator, a gun that harnesses the heat of captive suns to melt enemy tanks to bubbling sludge. The other arm ends in an articulated Dreadnought Power Fist of advanced design. With this pistoned gauntlet the Redemptor can tear even bio-beasts and Daemon Engines apart at close quarters.

The majority of Dreadnoughts in use by the Space Marines conform to the pattern known as the Castraferrum, of which the Mars Castraferrum Pattern Mark IV and Mark V are the most common. In appearance, the Castraferrum is very different from other types of Dreadnought, very few of which exist outside of the stasis-sealed reliquary chambers of the Adeptus Astartes. Doomglaive Dreadnought - The Doomglaive Dreadnought is one of the rarest and most advanced Dreadnought variants in Imperial service and is used exclusively by the Grey Knights Chapter, the secret Chapter of Space Marine psykers that serves as the Chamber Militant of the Inquisition's Ordo Malleus. The Doomglaive Dreadnought, like all Grey Knights Astartes, makes use of the Aegis, a complex network of protective prayers, runes and other wards which are inscribed into the chassis of an Doomglaive Dreadnought and psychically charged to provide better protection from the sorcerous powers of Daemons and the other servants of Chaos. While an Doomglaive Dreadnought is a fearsome opponent to face on the battlefield, the Doomglaive Dreadnought can provide more than just fire support to his Battle-Brothers, he is also able to support them with enhanced psychic defences. This is possible as a result of the psyber-circuitry that is incorporated into the Doomglaive Dreadnought's sarcophagus and which can link its own Aegis field to the psychic defences deployed by nearby Grey Knights Battle-Brothers, thus creating a series of reinforced psychic wards that is much stronger than what individual Grey Knights can project on their own.Brother Mordechai - Brother Mordechai is a Mark IV Aegis Dreadnought of the Grey Knights Chapter. Mordechai served as part of Captain Arvann Stern's strike force during the Siege of Vraks. The term "Proto-Dreadnought" encompasses the myriad Dreadnought patterns that that have been used by humanity since the Dark Age of Technology. These Dreadnoughts, which were capable of being piloted by unenhanced humans, have endured in many idiosyncratic forms both on Mars and with the techno-barbaric warlords of Terra as well as in the many scattered human realms throughout the Age of Strife. With the coming of the Imperium of Man during the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium, these Dreadnoughts have been brought together under the banner of the Emperor of Mankind. There exist many patterns of Dreadnought and it is in latter-day conjunction with the superhuman physiology of the Space Marines that this technology has reached its zenith. Any Legion Castraferrum Dreadnought may replace their twin-linked Heavy Bolters with any of these options: One of the more notable examples of a Venerable Dreadnought is the Space Wolves' Bjorn the Fell-Handed. He is the oldest Dreadnought currently in service in the Imperium and was once a member of the Primarch Leman Russ' personal retinue. He fought in the Horus Heresy and served as the Space Wolves' first Great Wolf when he was still whole of body. The most esteemed member of the Space Wolves, Bjorn is the only being the current Great Wolf will listen to and if necessary defer to, and is reverently woken once in each standard century. At that time, all the Space Wolves present, from the Great Wolf to the youngest Blood Claw, raptly and silently gather around the Ancient to hear him speak of their Primarch Leman Russ, and keep the Space Wolves' ancient oral tradition alive. Nalr - Nalr is a Chaplain Dreadnought of the Red Scorpions Chapter, who fought alongside his Chapter during the Siege of Vraks.
