Knight Defender

Knight Defender is a Characters unit in the Imperial Knights faction for Warhammer 40k.

With barely understood weapons, their pilots fire super-heated bolts that detonate with stellar brightness and beams that explosively transmute matter into energy, while the rippling mantle of a void shield wards their allies from harm.

Standard kit: This model is equipped with: conversion beam obliterator; plasma executor; twin incendine combustor; phosphor blaster; titanic feet.
