[[Image:Chaos dread claws.jpg|thumb|right|190px|'''Dreadclaws''']]'''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 [[Imperial Cruisers|cruiser]]s or [[Imperial Battleships|battleship]]s. 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.
