Dreadclaws are drop-pod like transports used by the Space Marine Legions of old, and still used by the Traitor Marine Legions.
Dreadclaws are used to quickly deploy Traitor Marines onto a planet from orbit. The Dreadclaws themselves are deployed from Devastation class cruisers or Despoiler class battleships. It is armed with the Deathwind weapon system, which upon landing, fires upon any nearby enemies.
The dreadclaws were designed for ship-to-ship combat as they are equipped with a spiked "maw" used to drill through hulls. Its design has been heavily corrupted from thousands of years exposed to Chaos and they are now used for a variety of roles from boarding ships, to planetary assault.
The Dreadclaw is an all purpose drop pod: it can either drop troops or a dreadnought. Unlike single use drop pods, it can take off again after landing.
