The Widowmakers are lucky enough to field a large Dreadnought force, seven in all. I had the idea to make a Seven Samurai themed Dreadnought team for fun and started it years ago, though I've not yet finished any of them. I will detail progress on the project here for all to see.

The Seven Samurai

• Kambei Shimada (島田勘兵衛, Shimada Kanbe) (Takashi Shimura) — The leader of the group and the first "recruited" by the villagers, he is a wise but war-weary samurai. Brother Shimada is the eldest Widowmaker Astartes having served when the Chapter was founded millenia ago. Brother Shimada is a Venerable Dreadnaught.
  
• Gorōbei Katayama (片山五郎兵衛, Katayama Gorōbe) (Yoshio Inaba) — The second samurai, recruited by Kambei. A skilled archer, he acts as the second in command and helps create the master plan for the village's defense.
• Shichirōji (七郎次) (Daisuke Katō) — The third samurai. He was once Kambei's deputy. Kambei meets him by chance in the town and he resumes this role. Brother Ichi is an Ironclad Dreadnought.
  
• Heihachi Hayashida (林田平八, Hayashida Heihachi) (Minoru Chiaki) — The fourth samurai, recruited by Gorōbei. An amiable though less-skilled samurai whose charm and wit maintain his comrades' good cheer in the face of adversity.
• Katsushirō Okamoto (岡本勝四郎, Okamoto Katsushirō) (Isao Kimura) — The fifth samurai. A young unblooded samurai from an aristocratic family who wants to be Kambei's disciple.
• Kyūzō (久蔵) (Seiji Miyaguchi) — The sixth samurai, who initially declined an offer by Kambei to join the group, though he later changes his mind. A serious, stone-faced samurai and a supremely skilled swordsman; Katsushirō is in awe of him.
• Kikuchiyo (菊千代) (Toshirō Mifune) — The seventh member of the group and the only one who is not actually a samurai. A would-be samurai (right down to the false noble birth certificate) who eventually proves his worth. He is mercurial and temperamental. Of all the samurai, he most closely identifies with the villagers and their plight. Always the show-off, his sword, an Ōkatana, is considerably larger than everyone else's.
