Knight Errant

Wandering Champion of Sacred Oaths

The Knight Errant is the close-assault variant of the Questoris chassis, wielding a thermal cannon capable of melting adamantium plate alongside the traditional reaper chainsword. Where the Paladin embodies balance, the Errant embodies aggression — its pilots are nobles who have sworn personal quests of vengeance, often departing their ancestral [[knight-worlds]] to hunt specific foes across the stars. The thermal cannon discharges a focused beam of superheated plasma at short range, vaporising armoured targets that would shrug off conventional shells. Errants are favoured by younger scions of the Knight Houses, those still proving their worth in single combat. The pilot's bond with the Throne Mechanicum amplifies aggressive impulses; a Knight Errant on the charge is said to echo the war-cries of long-dead ancestors stored within the machine spirit. When deployed alongside [[adeptus-astartes]] strike forces, Errants serve as armour-cracking shock troops, opening breaches in enemy lines that lighter forces can exploit.
