Acastus Knight Asterius

Acastus Knight Asterius is a Vehicles unit in the Imperial Knights faction for Warhammer 40k.

Points: 765.

Like its cousin the Porphyrion, the gigantic Acastus Knight Asterius is a relic of a lost technological age. Armed with a pair of twin conversion beam cannons, a karacnos mortar battery and two volkite culverins, the Asterius is capable of sundering the walls of mighty fortresses and clearing ramparts with a hail of high-explosives, its thick armoured hide making it near impervious to weapons fire.

Standard kit: This model is equipped with: 2 Asterius volkite culverins; karacnos mortar battery; 2 twin conversion beam cannons; titanic feet.
