Knight Houses: Cerastus Knight Lancer

Cerastus Knights are sophisticated and formidable war engines, with a speed and agility far exceeding that of the colossal Questoris-class. The Lancer Knight is the most widespread variant of the Cerastus chassis, held in high esteem by the more impetuous scions of the Houses. Their protective ion gauntlet and powerful shock lance are perfectly suited for duelling titanic foes, and so their pilots often race ahead to claim glory by destroying the enemy's most prized war machines.

This multi-part plastic kit builds one Cerastus Knight Lancer, a swift and aggressive Knight armed for close combat. Even larger than its Questoris-class kin, the Lancer Knight's long legs allow it to stride across the battlefield in moments. It deflects incoming attacks with its ion gauntlet shield as it sprints forward, unleashing crackling blasts from the colossal shock lance mounted on its arm before charging in to skewer the heaviest threats.

This detailed model is highly customisable, with joints at the ankles, knees, hips, head, arms, waist, and even individual fingers allowing you to create your own dynamic pose. The head and arms can be assembled without glue, allowing you to adjust their position in-game. The kit offers plenty of cosmetic options, including two types of knee pads, greaves, and shoulder pads, four torso-mounted icons to represent different allegiances, a heraldic shield, and three different banners. You can also build the Knight with an open hatch, revealing the pilot within.

This kit comprises 208 plastic components and is supplied with a Citadel 170mm x 109mm Oval Base. It also includes an Age of Darkness Cerastus Knight Transfer Sheet, containing 517 optional markings and icons for the Knight Houses in Horus Heresy. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
