New Knight Castellan Revealed!

I don't know much about forgeworld knights. Does the lascutter have a melee profile?

 

If it does that would make it interesting, a super flexible Omni tool. Anti horde, anti tank, melee. Then pairing it with another ranged weapon could be quite interesting.

 

Yes

 

S14 AP-4 D6 reroll hits and wound against Monsters, AVs and Buildings.

Throw it at something big and it dies I guess...

 

 

Damage is a flat 6 rather than D6 both in shooting and melee. It hurts quite a bit to be on the receiving end.

 

You get quite a nice booklet with the kit from FW with a little bit of lore:

 

'One of the rarest and most potent Knights and one created soley under the direct auspices of the highest Lord Magos of the Mechanicum, the Atrapos is a unique variant type of the Cerastus pattern Knight.

The Atrapos was created, it is said, during the early days of the Great Crusade to carry particularly rare and potent weaponry of annihilation, and with a single goal in mind; the destruction of heretek engines and xenos warmachines 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 scio who bonds with them, madness is said to be a constant risk. But for such a storied honour, however dark the outcome may be, for most this is deemed a price worth paying.'

 

Makes an awful lot of sense why the weapon loadout is like it is.

Man I hope we get a graviton gun like weapon for the other arm and canis rex is a dual kit. Can't wait!

 

If I'm remembering the leaks right, Canis Rex does seem to be a dual kit. I think it was said to build either the named character, or a Preceptor?

 

So it seems likely you're getting at least half your wish buddy :thumbsup:

 

Surely we'll get a preview from GW today though? Isn't it always on Sundays?

Any time now, hopefully a hellverin pic just to complete the set.

 

And maybe a preceptor?

 

That'd be perfect. Although I sure hope it's Helverin and not Hellverin. The latter sounds a bit tacky to me, whereas Helverin has a nice little mythical ring to it.

Hoping I'll be able to convert the new options as I have 2 Forgebane Armigers ready to be built...

Autocannon-like weapons for the Armigers are available on shapeways (along with some pretty funky Warhound-style heads).
