Hot off the Forge World presses this morning is yet another knight variant, AND confirmations of a Crusade Knight army list!
Based off the Mangera pattern Knight, the Styrix is a fearsome combatant indeed.
Armed with a devastating Volkite chieorovile and backed up with a graviton gun and twin-linked rad cleanser, the Questoris Knight Styrix is easily able to eliminate large numbers of infantry at range. Whilst in close combat, its immensely powerful hekaton siege claw can smash vehicles and tear buildings asunder, making it a powerful addition to any army. Housing machine spirits which some say became too accustomed to wholesale slaughter during the Age of Strife and the Great Crusade that followed it, many of the more conservative Households consider the Styrix to be a dark and malevolent pattern of armour, the wanton slaughter it unleashes being beneath a true Knight. Other Households hold no such reservations, loosing entire formations of Styrix mark Knights to mercilessly annihilate their foes.
Plus we get a little tidbit hinting towards the imminent release of the new Horus Heresy Book IV: Conquest and a new Knight Army List!
The Questoris Knight Styrix can be fielded in Horus Heresy games using the Battles in the Age of Darkness expansion as part of the forthcoming Questoris Knight Crusade Army list or as a Lords of War choice for any Horus Heresy army. Its rules will be published in the next Horus Heresy rulebook.
I can’t wait to see the rules in print for the Knights Acheron, Mageara, and Castigator! Get your wallets ready for Black Friday at Forge World! -MBG
