Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Questoris Knight Crusade (30k) (section)

===Acastus Knight Porphyrion===

Because the Mechanicus saw the Deredeo Dreadnought, and thought, "Man, this would be even better as a superheavy." The newest knight to join the Questoris family, the Porphyrion weighs in at 495 points - raised to a hefty 560 points as of the latest Horus Heresy FAQ, and it's a baby Reaver Titan. It's a dedicated shooting machine meant for clearing out vehicles and/or large sections of the board in short order. It's slightly gimped in the assault (and why would you even put it there if you can help it? Weirdly despite being the same size and weighting as a Warhound it is better in combat so eh?), but compensates with BS5, and a beefier 14/13/12 and 8 HP. It also comes standard with Household Rank (With the exception of Uhlan, Martial or Aspirant), and can upgrade with the dirt cheap Occular Augmetics (Which are only useful for Night Vision unless you've made a terrible terrible mistake and let an enemy get within 12" of you). It's main weapons are 2 pairs of Vindicators strapped to your sides in the form of 2 TL Magna Lascannon (72" S10 AP2 Ordnance 2, Large Blast) on each arm, and an Ironstorm Missile Pod (72" S6 AP4 Ordnance 1, 7" Blast) on its back, which can be swapped with Helios Defense Missiles (60" S8 AP2 Heavy 2, Skyfire, Interceptor) for free. It's secondary weapon is ''not'' a heavy stubber, but ''two'' autocannons, which can be individually upgraded to Irad cleansers to lay down the hurt on infantry who decide to get close, or lascannons, because you really need to be able to deal even MORE damage to vehicles and monstrous creatures than you already do. 

As far as shooting power goes, this thing is a monster. No really, it is. Anyone who tries to argue the point and says this thing doesn't kick out the hurt every turn its left alive hasn't faced one. The only thing that can reliably threaten this monster at range are Titans, Drop-Melta (In sizeable numbers), Blood Angels [[Creed|Moritats with Phase Walkers]] and Basilisks (Purely because hitting you from the house nextdoor is one way to keep out of range). Other things that have good anti-tank shooting place themselves in the precarious position of being within the Porphyrions range, and anything that has the word "Lascannon" or "Neutron Pulse Laser" in its list of wargear are top of the menu when the Porphyrion is picking targets.

In melee things are simple - you die. No question. If you are charged by things that can hurt armour you are probably dead (5 Chainfists on a Terminator Squad are enough to kill you easily) and anything resembling a Knight won't even pause for breath when hitting you. The best trick is just put this thing in a corner, and hit every part of the board with your double-range double-vindicator cannons and your nipple guns and you're golden.

'''Please Note:''' This Knight becomes officially disgusting if you give it the Seneschal rank, as BS6/WS5 is pretty crazy for it, but a 3++ on a facing of its choice is just '''BONKERS''' and will result in your receiving injuries from your friends if you field it against them. Do not do it unless you wish to embrace the [[Rape|Chad Porphyrion]] as your own (and are wearing body armour).
