The Ridge Walker is a Necromundan bargain bin AT-RT used exclusively by House Cawdor to traverse across the desert ash heaps and artificial hills of scrap of the Hive World. They act as cheap, relatively easy to maintain mechanical mules that could carry one rider. For all intents and purposes, the AT-RT to the Sentinel's AT-ST.
Overview
Although House Cawdor fantasize of having their own holy war machines like that of a Warhound Titan, Imperial Knight or even a Sentinel, these poor buggers understand that without a proper manufactorum that they can own privately, even building a Sentinel is a monumental task when all of your building materials come from literal garbage dumps of the Underhive.
As such, necessity is the mother of all inventions, and the Ridge Walker is Cawdor's attempt to mimic the much larger walkers. Created after the echoes of a lineage of (much) prouder fighting machines from across the 41st Millennium, these ramshackle walkers you can find on Ebay offer an ergonomic approach for Cawdor to quickly traverse.
It does take skill to ride these things, however, and Cawdor riders who master their mechanical ostriches are capable warriors in their own right, using their speedy steeds to scout ahead of Cawdor convoys and bully their way through enemy lines. A number of them like to carry around Autoguns or a Maul, but most of them like to wield lances called a Frag Lance; aping the knights of ancient Terra, these are the literal poor man's version of the Hunting Lance that is fielded by Attilan Rough Riders. Despite their shonky appearance, these literal boomsticks can pack quite a punch – and come in a few varieties.
