The Imperium witnessed some of the most bloody battles in its long and violent history during the Horus Heresy. The Age of Darkness seeks to represent these mighty Legion-on-Legion clashes on the tabletop with some of the incredible war machines that did battle during the era.
Up until now, that has mostly meant huge tanks, but loping over the horizon comes a towering dealer of death. The Cerastus Knight Lancer – in plastic!
Cerastus-class Knights are noble and warlike steeds, built for speed and aggression. Ridden by the most impetuous of a Knight House’s Noble scions, they’re armed with deadly close-range weaponry suited for their role of routing the flanks of enemy armies.
A version of this impressive Lancer has been available as a Forge World resin kit for nearly 10 years – but it will soon be available as an all-new plastic miniature.
The Knight Lancer turns incoming attacks aside with its ion gauntlet shield generator, while waiting for an opportune moment to strike. When the time comes, the motor of the shock lance whirs into action, unleashing bolts of electrostatic power and perforating armour with its coruscating spearhead.
This lofty war machine is an excellent match for pilots who thirst for the thrill of close combat, and for those who live for the perfect parry and punishing riposte.
Rules for the Knights of the Horus Heresy are available in the Liber Mechanicum – Forces of the Omnissiah Army Book, and Knights Questoris and Armigers are also available in plastic, so it will soon be easier than ever to construct a great Knight household of your own.
