The battlefields of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis are about to see some serious firepower.
Witness the arrival of a brand-new plastic kit featuring the Questoris Knight Magaera and Questoris Knight Styrix. These deadly war machines, typically exclusive to Mechanicum-aligned Households, bring sophisticated technology, brutal weaponry, and enhanced defenses to the tabletop, making them a force to be reckoned with in Legions Imperialis.
Elite Knights of the Mechanicum
Unlike standard Questoris Knights, the Magaera and Styrix boast advanced Mechanicum modifications that make them more durable, more destructive, and far rarer on the battlefield. Each knight is armed with the Hekaton Siege Claw, a powerful melee weapon capable of crushing enemy armor and infantry alike. Beyond their shared claw, their loadouts diverge:
- Knight Magaera – Wields a lightning cannon, a signature Mechanicum weapon that tears through enemy units with arcing energy blasts.
- Knight Styrix – Carries a volkite chieorovile, designed to strip shields and incinerate flesh with devastating deflagration technology.
These Knights also benefit from enhanced defenses, featuring:
- Ionic Flare Shields – Reducing incoming damage by dispersing energy attacks.
- Blessed Auto-simulacra – A suite of Mechanicum-engineered self-repair mechanisms, allowing them to slowly recover from battle damage.
A Must-Have Kit for Mechanicum and Knight Households
This upcoming plastic kit allows players to build four Knights, choosing between Magaera or Styrix loadouts, and includes banners for Mechanicum forces or Questoris Households—letting you field them alongside Titan Legios, Imperial armies, or even the Dark Mechanicum.
The box also contains two command terminals for use in Adeptus Titanicus, making it a great addition for players looking to integrate Knight support into their Legions Imperialis and Adeptus Titanicus armies. Rules for these Knights are available in the Legions Imperialis Rulebook, with further Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, and Questoris Familia options detailed in The Rise of the Dark Mechanicum.
Whether you align with the Loyalist Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, or a renegade Knight Household, these towering war machines will be a devastating addition to your force. Keep an eye out for pre-orders coming soon!
