Body Damage Chart (D6)

D6Effect
1

The blow enrages the Chaos Space Marine inside. In its next turn the Dreadnought fails any Leadership test that fire frenzy calls for, with no dice rolled.

2

The Chaos Space Marine inside is wounded but fights on. Halve every one of the Dreadnought's characteristics, rounding up, for the rest of the game.

3–4

The engine catches fire and the machine seizes. The pilot may still fire one weapon on emergency power. At the beginning of every player turn, roll a D6: on a 1-2 it explodes, dealing D6 Strength 10 hits at -3 to everything within 3".

5

The Chaos Space Marine inside is badly wounded and fights no more. The Dreadnought lurches D3" in a random direction, colliding with whatever it meets, and then collapses.

6

The ammunition goes up and the Dreadnought is destroyed, and the Chaos Space Marine dies with it. Every model within 3" takes D6 Strength 10 hits at -2.

Arm Damage Chart (D6)

D6Effect
1

The arm is half-paralysed. Weapons built into it still shoot, but it can no longer be used in Hand-to-Hand Combat; reduce the Dreadnought's Attacks by one.

2

Weapons on the arm jam. Each may be fired only after a D6 roll of 4+.

3–5

The arm is wrenched off the body. Every weapon mounted on it is destroyed and the Dreadnought's Attacks drop by one.

6

The arm is destroyed and its weapons detonate. The blast flashes into the body, ignoring armour entirely; roll on the Body Damage Chart for what the second explosion does.

Leg Damage Chart (D6)

D6Effect
1

The armour plating holds, but the impact staggers the machine. The Dreadnought may not move next turn.

2

The Dreadnought is knocked sprawling, lurching D3" in a random direction and colliding with whatever it meets.

3–4

The leg is badly damaged. From here on the Dreadnought limps D3" a turn.

5+

The leg is torn off and the Dreadnought goes down. It cannot move or attack again and counts as destroyed.
