====Castellax Class Battle-Automata====

In Heresy-era 30k and first to get a Forgeworld model, but for some reason called the '''Castellax''', mounting a [[Mauler Bolt Cannon|Mauler-pattern Bolt Cannon]] on the shoulder which can be replaced with a [[multi-melta]] or a [[Darkfire Cannon]] (essentially a <s>somewhat weaker Lascannon</s> Long Range Plasma Rifle with Lance that blinds enemies that it hits) and coming with a choice of hand weapons.

They are the most common and numerous pattern of Castellans and are designed primarily for siege and shock assault operations. So common, that even the [[Solar Auxilia]] had incorporated them into their army.

Crunch-wise, the Castellax is a surprisingly cheap Monstrous Creature pretty much made to fuck up the Space Marine Legions (thanks to BS4, T7, W4, and armed with AP3 guns base) unless there's list-tailoring involved (like Plasma vets) it'll hold its own against nearly everything thrown at it and can put out a lot of hurt in both the Shooting (thanks to the aforementioned AP3 guns) and Assault, don't let the two Attacks fool you, charging will boost your attacks up to 4 (if you do this make sure to get the Frag Grenades).

Don't let Reactor Blast make you think it's worse to group them up, it's very unlikely to do any wounds to you at all and if you're in assault it'll almost always work in your favor.

If you want them to be [[Choppa|Choppy]], then you may also take dual [[Power weapon#Battle-Automata Power Blade|powerblades.]] At first AP2 rending in melee seems fantastic, but then you remember that this is a monstrous creature; thus it already has AP2 by default via smash. And with S6 its quite likely to be wounding most targets reliably anyway. Unless you absolutely need an extra attack, just stick with stock.
