Seeing to the Purity of Spirit and Promotion of the Imperial Truth Among his Brothers of the Third Company is Brother Chaplain Ritter

The Original Mini was a Forge World Night Lords Contemptor that I have left over from my 30K Night Lords Army (We'll be seeing more of them in this Project)

Brother Sergeant Sauer was also Left over from my 30K Days but he's just a Dreadnought from Betrayal at Calth with no Modifications

Brother Chaplain Ritter Had Two Assault Cannons taken from Dark Vengance Terminators (Counts as a single High Powered Assault Cannon in Game) and his Left Arm is a Contemptor Dreadnoughts Leg Stripped and Turned Upside Down with a Standard Dreadnoughts Weapon and Stormbolter Taken from a Kit we'll look at in a Minute.

Brother Chaplain Ritter was only Recently Interred in the Dreadnoughts Sarcophagus. As Such he is not as effective as he could otherwise be and hence uses just the Standard Contemptor Dreadnought Rules in Game... for now.

Brother Ritters Right Shoulder Pauldron was Damaged when worn by it's previous occupant and while repairs are being organised the damage is covered by the Tattered Remains of the Chaplains Robes.

Progress on Chapter Master Vandels. He is a Venerable Dreadnought and in keeping with his former Position as First Company Captain of the Knights of the Blades his Dreadnought Maintains their colours.

Covered in Purity Seals Chapter Master Vandels is no Armchair Grand Master

Order Master Vandels Wears his old MKIII Helmet (Yet another relic of my 30K Days)

The Chapter Banner of the Order of the Broken Sword

All the Dreadnoughts are Relics from the Knights of the Blade and as such they retain the Chapters Crossed Swords Symbols on the rear of their Pauldrons to calm the Dreadnought’s Machine Spirit.

The Dreadnoughts Symbols are as Follows

Left Shoulder Outside Face. The Chapters Symbol of a Broken Sword
Left Shoulder Front. A Personalisation Plate, some Dreadnoughts will have their Brothers make Kill Markings on it, others will keep a record of their years of interment while others still keep it blank.
Left Shoulder Rear. The Chapter Symbol of the Knights of the Blade. This is done to both calm the Machine Spirit and Honour the Chapter’s History.
Left Shoulder Top. The Interred Brothers Name. This will often be spread over both shoulders unless one shoulder is too damaged to accommodate it.
Chest. This is the Branch of the Chapter the Marine Belongs to. Brother Chaplains wear a Skull. Officers Wear an Iron Cross. The Rest of the Men Wear the Chapter Symbol. Librarians and Techmarines are not Permitted the Honour of Interment in a Dreadnought Sarcophagus. The Former because they are mistrusted in life let alone in Death, the latter because a Techmarine is not a Battle Brother.
Right Shoulder Outside Face. The Cohort the Marine Belongs to. The First Cohort are Companies I, IV and VII. The Second Cohort are Companies II, V and VIII. The Third Cohort are Companies III, VI and IX. Each is Overseen by an Order Commander.
Right Shoulder Front. This is the Place within the Cohort the Company occupies. I, II or III.
Right Shoulder Rear. The Chapter Symbol of the Knights of the Blade. This is done to both calm the Machine Spirit and Honour the Chapter’s History.
Right Shoulder Top. The Interred Brothers Name. This will often be spread over both shoulders unless one shoulder is too damaged to accommodate it.
The Crotch Plate will sometimes but not always have the Chapter Symbol on it.
