Reyner Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It kills things with the power of Justin Hawkins voice, an AT gun powered by the force of the Darkness to melt anything it hits!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't know what it does but Darkfire cannon just sounds soooo awesome. It's the most powerful version of the photon thruster weapons. Has the Lance ability, among a few other nasty ones.

Brother Tyler Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 From Forge World Newsletter #438: Three times the height of a man and formidably powerful, the Castellax class Battle-automata is a mainstay of the Legio Cybernetica and many Mechanicum armies. Capable of wielding an array of armaments, in addition to its powerful close combat weapons and boltguns, it can also be equipped with heavier and exotic ranged weaponry. In battle, the Castellax is animated by an aggressive machine spirit, its armoured endoskeleton making it near impervious during its assault. It is at its most deadly, however, when paired with the arcane and lethal darkfire cannon. Unleashing screaming beams of pure darkness, armour, flesh and stone boil away with their touch, and even the most heavily armoured vehicles can be torn apart by their hellish un-light. The Castellax Battle-automata with Darkfire Cannon can be taken as part of a Mechanicum or Legiones Astartes army in Horus Heresy games. Its rules can be found in both The Horus Heresy Book 2 - Massacre and The Horus Heresy Book 3 - Extermination. The Mechanicum Castellax Battle-automata with Darkfire Cannon is a complete multi-part resin kit and includes a choice of bolters or flamers as secondary weapons. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 16th January. "The beast of metal endures longer than the flesh of men."

Adra'Melek Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm so tempted to get a small Mech force as allies. Some many things I want to do but at least it'll be a bit more different to another Legion force.

1ncarnadine Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hello Spartan my old friend... I've come to talk with you again Because Castellax needed to be even more brutal with AP2 lance weapons. I need five. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301747-castellax-battle-automata-with-darkfire-cannon/#findComment-3915308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't know what it does but Darkfire cannon just sounds soooo awesome. Same strength and ap as a plasma gun but with lance, blind, gets hot! and 2 shots.

Lord Tharand Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 How poseable are the Castellax? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301747-castellax-battle-automata-with-darkfire-cannon/#findComment-3915406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Very, except the legs somewhat. The legs are one piece except for the feet, but the kit comes with two planted feet and a walking foot partially lifted off the ground.

Brofist Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Haha, and I just finished working on my own version.

Brofist Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Bits from a Necron barge, a multi melta from a land raider, and a dark eldar talos pain engine :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/301747-castellax-battle-automata-with-darkfire-cannon/#findComment-3915785 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raktra Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Dammit, this thing's making me want to replace my usual all-rounder Contemptor.
