One of the rarest and most potent Knights, the Knight-Atrapos is a unique variant type of the Cerastus pattern. Bearing particularly rare and potent weaponry of annihilation, the Cerastus Knight-Atrapos was created solely to destroy heretek engines and xenos war machines whose very nature and existence were considered a blasphemy to the Omnissiah.
The machine spirits of the Knight-Atrapos are said to carry with them a cold and all-destroying hunger, and for the scion who bonds with them, madness is a constant risk. But for such storied honour, however dark the outcome, this may be a price worth paying.
The Cerastus Knight-Atrapos carries arcane and devastating weapons into battle; the focussed and deadly Atrapos lascutter, that sees duty as both a ranged and close combat weapon, and the violently destructive, but potentially unstable, graviton singularity cannon. With the speed and shielding of the Cerastus chassis, and the Knight-Atrapos’ Marco-extinction Targeting Protocols, the Cerastus Knight-Atrapos is an uncommonly destructive weapon of war.
The Cerastus Knight-Atrapos may be taken as part of a Questoris Knight Crusade army or as a Lords of War choice for a Mechanicum Taghmata army in Horus Heresy games. Alternatively, it may be taken in Codex: Imperial Knights armies or as a Lords of War choice in an army of any faction that is part of the Armies of the Imperium in standard games of Warhammer 40,000.
This is a complete, multi-part resin kit. It includes a 170mm oval base.
Plus if you pre order before mid November you’ll get a bonus Knight Scion models with any qualifying Knight model purchase for FREE!
One Knight Scion will be sent to you with every Cerastus Knight-Atrapos, Cerastus Knight-Lancer, Cerastus Knight-Castigator, Cerastus Knight-Acheron, Questoris Knight Magaera, Questoris Knight Styrix or Chaos Knight you order from forgeworld.co.uk. This offer ends on Thursday 12th November 2015.
Not what is what you call a spicy Knight, ready to make ruin of the Omnissiah’s enemies.
Some interesting points to make is that I’m not recognizing the color scheme from any existing Horus Heresy books from Forge World. Will we see another HH book release in November (Book IV Conquest) featuring this new crusader per the normal release cycle of these books, or is something else on the way from Forge World rules wise altogether for HH?
Also why is their no Horus or Imperial iconography featured on the paint scheme, as we are clearly in the midst of the galactic civil war?
More as we know it folks, but if I was a betting man I would say that a new release storm is brewing across whole of Games Workshop!
