The closest thing the Legio Cybernetica have to foot soldiers.

This model is popular for its resilience and adaptability. The Cataphract-class robot is a heavily-armoured general-purpose battle robot designed for use in almost all combat environments and situations.

This versatility in a wide range of battlefield roles makes this war engine a highly-deployable and popular machine among the Legio Cybernetica's cohorts. Cataphracts are armed and can mount a variety of weapons for various purposes, the most common being one [[Lascannon]] above its chassis and a [[Imperial Boltgun|Bolter]] mounted on one arm and one [[Flamer]] mounted on the other. They are protected by a power field/synchroniser unit. Its versatility makes it popular Robot to deploy, although some commanders regard it as a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. It can substitute its weapons for an [[autocannon]], Siege Hammer, [[Heavy Bolter]] and [[power fists]].

The name Cataphract came from a form of armored heavy cavalry used in ancient warfare by a number of peoples in Western Eurasia and the Eurasian Steppe. These were the guys in heavy scale or chain armor that covered the horsies in even MOAR scale or chain armor. The Cataphract robot was named due to its relatively quick and versatile combat role that is able to provide a modest amount of heavy firepower on the battlefield whilst supporting its allies.

So far there are no modern rules for any Cataphract robots, which is strange given how common and generic they are, it could be that they were eventually replaced by the equally common Castellans instead. Note that despite the name, these things have zero relation with the Cataphractii Terminator armor.
