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.


And the rules for the beastie (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/Horus_Heresy/Cerastus-Knight-Atrapos.pdf)

£175....and I am sorely tempted...but it's this badboy, or Tau tomorrow.

oh hello!

[Mr Mystery]

I am weak. And I have ordered.

Just the one Ghostkeel tomorrow it is then!

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

Looks pretty great, I especially appreciate how it has a very distinct silhouette when compared to other Cerastus Knights.

In fluff terms, though, I ammm getting a little sick of "grimgrump cold monster Machine Spirit", that's getting so common as to be devalued.

[Mr Mystery]

I get what you mean.

I preferred it when Titans (and assumedly, Knights by extension) had animalistic machine spirits. A Bear for Warlords, something for Reavers, and a Wolf for Warhounds.

Did you know, that Warhounds originally had Jack Russell Terrier machine-spirits. They were replaced in the end because whilst aggressive enough, they were forever starting on things far, far bigger than them, and it was starting to embarrass the other Titans.

it looks pretty cool, interesting rules too. I think I still favour the lancer though from the cerastus class

Lol, they also kept peeing on the emperor classes leg

"This machine spirit has a pack hunter mentality etc" has a lot more mileage in it. Do you recall which novel/rulebook that was mentioned in?

[Mr Mystery]

Adeptus Titanicus.

It had much, much silly (Warlords with jump packs...) but also much cool.

[Mr Mystery]

Alsö wïk....see if you can nab a copy of its expansion, Codex Titanicus. That goes on about Ork and Eldar Titans.
