CERASTUS KNIGHT WING – SUPER-HEAVY DETACHMENT £490
Description
Battle-forged armies in Warhammer 40,000 consist of Detachments – groups of units who fight together and are awarded a tactical or strategic bonus for doing so.

This bundle contains a Cerastus Knight-Acheron, a Cerastus Knight-Lancer and a Cerastus Knight-Castigator with which to field a Super-Heavy Detachment – field a Detachment made entirely of Lords of War units, and accrue a staggering 3 Command Points!
