What happens when a Space Marine hero is "honored" with eternal service as a Dreadnought—only to discover that death, the final rest promised to all warriors, has been stolen from them forever? This documentary explores the horrifying psychological reality faced by Dreadnoughts in Warhammer 40K: the gradual realization that their sarcophagus is not a temporary vessel, but an eternal prison. We examine the initial moments of entombment, the slow erosion of human memory and emotion, the horror of watching centuries pass while brothers age and die, and the ultimate descent into madness that awaits many of these "honored" warriors. From the Space Marines' perspective of immortality as reward, to the crushing truth that even their enhanced minds cannot endure eternal service, we explore why the Dreadnought represents one of the Imperium's cruelest "gifts."
