Background.
Rounding off our examination of units from Inferno, we have the Knight Porphyrion. This is a brand new chassis in the Horus Heresy and one that is very rare. Indeed, even the largest of Houses only have a couple as it is the ultimate sign of the Machine god's favour.
The background story behind them seem a bit odd as well: only those who have fought a brother over a matter of honour seem to obtain them.
Other than that, they are the supreme enforcers of a House's will over their scions.
Strength.
It is a Knight. It is great.
More specifically though. It has a pair of magna las cannons that are twin linked. These dish out a large blast with Ordnance 2 and AP2 at S=10. Magnificent really!
Combined with this, it comes with auto cannons as standard along with iron storm missiles. Overall, this is a lethal level of firepower that will attract attention from across the board from all enemies. And rightly too. For if this Knight is not dealt with, it will represent a significant threat to most units across the board.
On top of this, it has BS=5 and good armour compared to other knights and a healthy hull point count.
Weaknesses.
This is not a close combat knight. Forget it. It is a shooty knight.
Builds.
Although I like the naked knight, I do like this one as well:
Porphyrion with autocannons replaced with Irad-Cleanser (495 points).
Ouch. Just ouch. This is deadly to everything. Swap to las cannons if you have the points. It matters little. It is still a beast!
