===Castigator Bolt Cannon=== [[File:CastigatorProfile.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Castigator Bolt Cannon]] The Castigator Bolt Cannon is the Storm Bolter/Combi-Bolter to the Avenger Bolt Cannon as the normal Bolter. By appearance, its configuration looks quite similar to the Vulcan Mega Bolter. This Bolt Cannon is used by the eponymous [[Imperial_Knight#Cerastus_Knight_Castigator|Knight Castigator]] variant of the Cerastus chassis. Unsurprisingly, the Castigator's Bolt Cannon can easily wipe whatever is in the firing line at the moment clean off the board. The ejection ports for the Castigator face towards the Knight. Although an impractical design from a normal shooter's perspective, this is an armored walker; spent bolt casings are probably not a problem. Though its potential over range is certainly destructive, the Cerastus's emphasis over agility means it carries rather limited ammunition β a Dakka-happy pilot may empty the well in probably a few seconds after deployment. This is why Castigator Knights are reserved to the more reliable, headstrong scions who know when to pull the trigger. Besides, the Bolt Cannon itself should even be considered a secondary weapon of the Knight. The theme Castigators are running is a knight wielding the good ol' fashioned sword and shield. Of course, the shield in question has ten barrels on it that shoot out giant rockets. Overall, these guys are what happens if you want to get as close to the firepower of the Vulcan without going full on Titan Legion or Baneblade armada. In the 8th Edition Imperial Knights Codex, the Castigator Bolt Cannon puts out an impressive 14 str6 AP-2 D2 shots at a decent BS which is complemented with the Warblade that strikes at str+6 AP-3 D5, making the Castigator a much more versatile option than it's previous incarnation. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> CastigatorBoltCannon.jpg|<center>Close-up View</center> CastigatorBolter.png|<center>Back View</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=36"|s7=7|ap7=3|type7=Heavy 8|r8=36"|s8=6|ap8=-2|d8=2|type8=Heavy 14}} |} |} |} </center>
