Sacristan Crawler
Sacristan Crawlers are heavily armoured vehicles that are used by groups of Sacristans to conduct resupplies and repairs on Imperial Knights. Ornately decorated yet bulky, Crawlers have eight armoured balloon tyres and are almost the size of an Imperial Super Heavy Tank[1a]. They are equipped with auto-loader ammunition carriages, a number of hard-wired eight-legged repair Servitors[1c] and nests of servo-arms[2a], as well as armature repair rigs that allow Sacristans to reach any area on a Knight that needs to be tended[1b]. As the vehicles accompany their Households to war[1c], the Sacristan Crawlers are armed with esoteric weapon systems, pulsing sensor shrines, vox-amplifiers[2a], a number of Heavenly Host Cherubim[2b] and can also lay down mine charges[1c]. The Crawlers also have the important duty of recovering the Throne Mechanicums of destroyed Knight suits, as well as wounded Knight Scions[1d], who can be placed within the Crawlers' built-in medicae bays.[2a]
