Carrying itself into the thick of the action with heavy, thudding steps, the distinctive drone of the and protected by both thick [[adamantine]] armour and an [[Avenger Gatling CannonIon Shield]] sounding a terrible clarion call, the Knight Warden is capable perfectly equipped to deal with foes who attempt to use weight of unleashing numbers to their advantage. The Knight Warden can unleash a furious hellstorm of large-calibre shells that from its [[Avenger Gatling Cannon]] - the weapon's distinctive drone sounding a terrible clarion call - which can tear apart even the most impressively-armoured foe. Mounted co-axially with the cannon is a [[Heavy Flamer]] to flush the enemy out of cover. Should any enemy be brave - or foolish - enough to engage a Warden at close quarters, they’ll find themselves at the mercy of some of the [[Imperium]]’s most fearsome close-combat weaponry; including , either the a [[Reaper Chainsword]] or [[Thunderstrike Gauntlet]]. A [[Heavy Stubber]] mounted on a ball turret provides additional firepower for mowing down groups of infantry.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
