	Kataphron Battle Servitors are [[Combat Servitors]] given an upgrade. They act as elite shock troops meant for dealing with heavier and tougher opponents that their smaller cousins couldn't do. Due to the opponents they face, Kataphron Battle Servitors are far, far larger and heavier, requiring anti-tank weapons to take them down and even that doesn't work all the time.		Kataphron Battle Servitors are [[Combat Servitors]] given an upgrade. They act as elite shock troops meant for dealing with heavier and tougher opponents that their smaller cousins couldn't do. Due to the opponents they face, Kataphron Battle Servitors are far, far larger and heavier, requiring anti-tank weapons to take them down and even that doesn't work all the time.

	Their increased size due to the heavier armor has rendered their already augmented human legs as too impractical and more vulnerable to wear and tear, instead opting for giant tank treads. While this may severely reduce its agility, speed and overall flexibility, the treads do enable more stability, durability and adaptability that normal human legs couldn't survive even when augmented.

	Kataphron Breachers are used by the Mechanicum as a living shield and battering ram, smashing apart enemy lines and formations. They are quite deadly in close quarters combat, equipped with a large array of weapons that can include [[Arc Rifle]]s, [[Torsion Cannon]]s, [[Arc Weaponry#Arc Claw\|Arc Claws]] and [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Hydraulic Claw\|Hydraulic Claws]].

	In terms of tabletop rules. The Kataphron boasts a MEQ-equivalent armor save, an Arc Rifle that does d6 damage against vehicles , and a CCW that also does extra damage against vehicles. It can alternately switch that CCW for a different one that is Sx2 AP-1 D3 damage but suffers -1 to hit rolls or replace its gun for a Torsion Cannon- a single shot S8 AP-4 weapon that does d6 damage. <s>As it names implies, Breachers mutilate fortifications and even tanks with relative ease</s> Unfortunately not any more, they're expensive as hell, Arc weapons got nerfed into the ground, and torsion cannons are too expensive to ever justify. If you really want to take them either stick with Arc weapons which are relatively cheap. On the plus side, they got a price decrease in chapter approved, so... yay?		In terms of tabletop rules.
