Knight Gallant
Berserker Champion of the Knight Houses
The Knight Gallant is the apotheosis of close-combat warfare among the Questoris patterns, eschewing primary ranged armament entirely in favour of twin melee weapons: a reaper chainsword and a thunderstrike gauntlet. The gauntlet is a hand-shaped power weapon the size of a battle tank, capable of crushing armoured vehicles into scrap and hurling them across the battlefield. Its pilots are duellists by temperament, nobles who consider ranged warfare beneath the dignity of their station. Gallant pilots bond exceptionally tightly with their machine spirits — the Throne Mechanicum amplifies the visceral exhilaration of melee engagement until pilot and Knight share a single battle-fury. Tales abound across the [[knight-worlds]] of Gallants tearing apart Greater Daemons of Khorne with bare metal fists, of thunderstrike gauntlets shattering Chaos dreadnoughts, of reaper chainswords cleaving heretical titans in half. To witness a Gallant on the charge is to witness the chivalric ideal made manifest in adamantium and roaring engines.

Tactical Role
The Gallant is a melee specialist designed to break enemy super-heavies and titans in close combat. Its pilot must be willing to close ground under heavy fire — those who reach melee range often turn the tide of entire engagements with a single charge.
