The Blood Angels have successfully maintained a number of Contemptor-pattern Dreadnoughts, the eldest of which house warriors that fought upon the ramparts of the Emperor’s palace and saw battle at the side of Sanguinius himself. These revered ancients are living links to their Chapter’s earliest days, and are viewed by their battle-brothers as virtually sacred beings. Were such a warrior to be threatened by the foe, or their war-chassis stranded upon the field of battle, there are no lengths to which the Blood Angels would not go to protect and recover them in one piece.
