This is a devastating weapon capable of tearing apart infantry and light armour with ease.

Osiron Dreadnoughts were created by the Primarch Magnus the Red himself, and each one had the mortally wounded remains of a Thousand Sons Librarian entombed within, his brain laced with a psychometric barrier. This allowed the Dreadnought to perform psychic abilities safely, and as such these Dreadnoughts were equipped with Force Weapons. The most commonly known Force Weapon used a massive curved Force Blade that featured an in-built Combi-Bolter loaded with Asphyx Shells.Mhara Gal Tainted Contemptor Dreadnought Power Claw - The Mhara Gal Tainted Dreadnought are Chaos-tainted Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts that once belonged to the Word Bearers Legion. These Contemptor Dreadnoughts were first created by placing the barely living remains of a Gal Vorbak Dark Brethren into a battle-shattered Contemptor Dreadnought chassis. These daemonic Dreadnoughts were armed with twisted versions of their Contemptor Dreadnought Power Claws, which were comprised of Warp-tainted flesh, bone and metal fused in unnatural ways. These weapons are armed with a built-in Curs'd Boltspitter.
