The Thanatar Siege Automata has long been a feared force within the Mechanicum forces, and the Thanatar Cavas, with its devastating plasma mortar, has earned its reputation as a long-range destroyer of Space Marines.
However, the Thanatar Calix Siege Automata is a different kind of terror, one designed specifically to deal with the most durable and elite targets, from super-heavy tanks to fortifications.
A Weapon Designed for the Toughest Foes
The Thanatar Calix’s primary armament, the Sollex-pattern heavy lascannon, sets it apart from its more widely destructive counterpart. This weapon is devastatingly powerful, capable of piercing the thickest armor with ease, even slicing through the hulls of super-heavy tanks. It’s designed not just for destruction, but for precision eradication, leaving a trail of disabled machines and crippled war engines in its wake. The Shock Pulse feature of the lascannon adds another layer of fear, disabling the targeting matrices of enemy machines with a single, devastating shot, rendering them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
Graviton Ram: A Close-Combat Threat
While the Thanatar Calix excels at long-range precision strikes, it’s also deadly at close quarters thanks to its graviton ram. This gravitational weapon is notorious for its ability to disrupt both flesh and mechanical systems, no matter how thick the armor or how advanced the technology. The graviton ram is a terrifying tool for those who believe they can get close to the Thanatar Calix to avoid its long-range firepower. It’s perfect for dealing with elite infantry, hardened vehicles, and fortifications that other weapons may struggle to breach.
A Terrifying Prospect
For any foe hoping to face the Mechanicum and its allies, the Thanatar Calix is a reminder that no target is safe, no matter how thick the armor or how advanced the technology. Its heavy lascannon and graviton ram make it the ultimate weapon for taking down elite targets that other units may struggle with, ensuring it stands as a terrifying presence in any battle.
