Knight Morta

The Knight Morta is a type of an Imperial Cerastus Pattern Knights. They have been little used due their extreme rarity and aggressiveness of their machine spirit comparable only to those of the infamous Knight Acherons.

Overview
Knight Mortas look similar to the other Cerastus Knights, but is a little bit bulkier due a more powerful energy source, which is compiled of three generators set side by side, located in its upper body. This extra power is required to properly power the Morta's secondary weapon, the Thundercoil Harpoon. If one of the three generators gets damaged or otherwise burns out, the Thundercoil Harpoon can only be used as a harpoon and the Knight is unable to send the electrical charge via the weapon to its target without sacrificing other systems' integrity. The difference in size is easy to miss, however, and for one not familiar with Knights the Mortas seem just as large as the other Cerastuses.

Knight Morta is easily confused with the Castigator because of its main weapon which is the feared Tempest Warblade, a weapon capable of slashing a fellow Knight into a molten ruin. Mortas' secondary weapon is an only slightly smaller version of the Thundercoil Harpoon - Lesser Thundercoil Harpoon - wielded by Dominus Pattern Knights Valiants which sacrifices a little bit of its range due its size but is otherwise just as capable as the larger variant.

Knight Mortas use the Thundercoil Harpoon in a manner of a weapon but also to tether themselves into larger foes and to reel themselves to them. This graceful yet deadly manouver can be rivalled only by the titans of the Aeldari, notorious of their agility and grace.
