Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 159 Dora Kaur
Eventually, this unfortunate squad of seven Weepers and one Dreadnought joined Deathwatch and followed Guterres.

Originally, Maimai and Dusk were planning to get a Contemptor or a Leviathan Dreadnought, but both of these are old things from the Great Crusade era. In the 40K era, they were already at the level of Chapter Relics, and it would be too conspicuous to take them out.

So under Chen Xi's persuasion, they gave up the overly ostentatious Leviathan and Contemptor and chose the relatively common Dreadnought instead.

This is a dreadnought mecha that is enhanced based on the cast iron dreadnought, with more solid defense and more powerful firepower.

But no matter what, the fearless are fearless. Generally speaking, they will not be easily thrown into the battlefield, nor will they be awakened casually.

The same was true for this Weeper Dreadnought. After understanding the situation, he fell into a deep sleep to reduce the burden and pain caused by the Dreadnought.

The Cast Iron Dreadnought is the most widely used Dreadnought in the Empire. Although it is no longer a heavy burden on its users, it is still an endless torture and pain for the Astartes buried in it.

This pain is not only physical, but also psychological.

The Space Marines buried in the Dreadnought are all seriously injured and dying, and the Dreadnought can only keep their lives going, but cannot heal them.

Therefore, every Space Marine buried in the Dreadnought is forever in a state of impending death, relying on drugs and life-sustaining sarcophagus to maintain the only remaining glimmer of life.

This feeling is extremely painful and long. For the Space Marines buried in it, it is as if everything they have is gradually slipping away and their senses are becoming increasingly empty.

Even the most skilled Dreadnoughts would make those buried within them feel as if they were frozen by a glacier, with even their minds gradually being frozen.

One can imagine how much torture and pain the Space Marines in the Dreadnought Sarcophagus had to endure.

So usually, the Dreadnoughts are kept in storage as long as possible, causing their Space Marines to fall into a deep sleep. Only when the Chapter faces a critical moment will these venerable veterans be awakened and allowed to serve the Emperor again.

It is precisely because of this that any Space Marine buried in a Dreadnought is highly respected. Even the Chapter Master of a founding Chapter will show sufficient respect to a Dreadnought from an unknown Chapter.

Although the members of Titus's team came from various founding chapters, they also showed a considerable degree of respect when facing the Weepers Dreadnought.

In addition, they also showed enough friendliness towards the seven Primaris-transformed Weepers.

"Welcome, cousin." Titus took the initiative to welcome the seven Weepers. Although he was surprised by their height and the special type of power armor they wore, Titus did not ask anything. "Death Watch is a special group that accommodates various chapters. We all come from different chapters, but this does not prevent us from being brothers.

I hope you can adapt to life here, and I look forward to fighting alongside you."

"Thank you for your welcome, brother from the Ultramarines." Tahir, now the captain of this squad, stepped forward and greeted Titus. "Excuse me, we cannot reveal our identities, but for some special reasons we are forced to join the Death Watch as Blackshields."

"I understand. What are your plans going forward?" Titus expressed his concern as he looked at the seven oversized Space Marines. "We will be stationed on this planet temporarily as a kill team. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will fight side by side in the future." Tahir expressed his friendly attitude towards his Ultramarines.

Although many chapters are wary of the 'ambitious Guilliman' for historical reasons, it has to be admitted that the Ultramarines still have a very good reputation among the Space Marine community.

At least compared to guys like the Dark Angels and the Iron Hands, the Ultramarines are easy to deal with.

So Tahir is still willing to fight alongside Titus.

"Then I'll look forward to it." Titus also smiled.

"It seems that they get along better than expected. Titus and the others have not shown any curiosity or rejection of the Primaris technology." In the distance, Chen Xi and Guterres were watching the communication between the two teams and talking quietly.

Guterres was not particularly surprised by this. He just nodded slightly and said, "It's not surprising. The Ultramarines are not crazy people. Although the Dark Angels and Black Templars are relatively crazy in this team, they can still talk properly under normal circumstances.

And who doesn't have a little secret in Deathwatch? Keeping your own secrets and not asking about others' is an unwritten rule in Deathwatch.

After all, if you pry into other people's secrets, they will pry into yours too."

"Good fellow, you're just trying to squeeze each other's baskets, aren't you?" Chen Xi cursed with a smile, but didn't say much else. He simply instructed Guterres, "I'll leave these people to you. The Weepers are a bunch of unlucky people. Be careful, don't let them lead you down."

"I understand. I will put them together with Titus's team. With Titus, the double god's choice, the chance of failure is very small." Guterres seemed confident and was not worried about being affected by the bad luck of the Weepers.

Chen Xi, however, was not optimistic about this. He shook his head and said, "Don't forget, at the beginning of Star Warrior 2, Titus sacrificed a group of his teammates! He's definitely fine, but his teammates may not be."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it. But are you really planning to contact Kaul?" Guterres looked at Chen Xi with concern.

"Yeah, I thought about it. Dora Kaur will definitely be interested in the Primaris transformation data of the old Space Marines. After all, when he first launched the Primaris technology, the mortality rate of the old canned Primaris was very high." Chen Xi seemed to be answering the question irrelevantly.

Guterres could tell that Chen Xi seemed to have something he didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any further questions. He just reminded him to be careful and then walked towards Titus and the others.

Watching Guterres and Titus chatting together, Chen Xi sighed and turned to look for Olivia.

Conventional means are ineffective in contacting Belisarius Cawl, the oldest surviving Forge Sage of the Mechanicus, especially as the critical time node of 999.M41 is approaching, and Dora Cawl is also very busy.

So in order to lure him out, in addition to having someone who can contact him, you also need something that can interest him.
