Knight Houses: Cerastus Knight Acheron

Cerastus Knights are complex and towering war engines, faster and more agile than the smaller Questoris-class. Acheron Knights are a terrifying sight on the battlefield, designed not just to extinguish as many lives as possible, but also to spread fear and terror. The presence of an Acheron Knight warns an enemy to expect no mercy, for such grim weapons are only deployed on missions of annihilation, to destroy the enemy's works and cleanse the land with fire.

This plastic kit allows you to build a Cerastus Knight Acheron, a fearsome war machine capable of burning all resistance to ashes. The Acheron Knight towers even over its Questoris-class cousins, striding across the battlefield as it unleashes blasts of baleful fire from the inferno cannon on its arm. Tougher foes are shredded with blows from its reaper chainfist.

This detailed model is highly customisable, with joints at the ankles, knees, hips, head, arms, and waist, allowing you to create your own dynamic pose. The head and arms can also be assembled without glue, allowing you to adjust their position even during play. The kit includes a selection of cosmetic options, including two variants for knee pads and vambraces, and four symbols that can be affixed to the body, one each for Loyalists, Traitors, Mechanicum, and the Questoris Household alliance. You can also build the Knight with an open hatch, revealing the pilot within.

This kit comprises 253 plastic components and includes a Citadel 170mm x 109mm Oval Base. It also includes an Age of Darkness Cerastus Knight Transfer Sheet, with 517 optional markings and icons for the Knight Households of the Horus Heresy. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
