A huge, ancient robot built ten thousand years ago, the Kastelan Robot is a perfect example of the Adeptus Mechanicus’ repurposing of technology. Nearly unstoppable, their only flaw is that of any mere machine; they will follow instructions to the letter, even if this results in their own demise. A specialist Tech-Priest - the Cybernetica Datasmith - must constantly update and reprogram the Kastelan via order dataslates, lest this enormous, clanking robot simply stride blindly into a nearby chasm. Make no mistake, however; when his controls are set to destroy, the Kastelan will destroy.
This ninety-five component multi-part plastic kit contains everything you need to make two Kastelan Robots and one Cybernetica Datasmith. The Kastelan Robots are armed to where their teeth would be, if they had teeth - options include two sets of power fists, two sets of twin-linked phosphor blasters and a choice of carapace-mounted weaponry (incendine combustor or yet another phosphor blaster - two of each are supplied). The Cybernetica Datasmith is armed with a gamma pistol, dataspike and a servo arm assembly featuring a rivet gun. A prehensile socket drill allows him to reprogram the Kastelan Robots on-the-fly. He also features a choice of two heads.
The Adeptus Mechanicus Kastelan Robots are supplied with two Citadel 60mm Round Bases, and the Cybernetica Datasmith includes one Citadel 32mm Round Base.
The Tech-Priests of the Legio Cybernetica are rated amongst the most powerful of their order, for they are responsible for the host robotic, the most revered and wondrous machines of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Among the most prized possessions of the Adeptus Mechanicus are the Kastelan Robots, ancient war machines that are so old they predate the Imperium, the Adeptus Mechanicus and, perhaps, even the Imperial Knights. Completely soulless, they are walking automatons that skirt the borders of heresy, for artificial intelligence is forbidden by the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Kastelan Robots are dangerously close to being sentient. Instead, they are directed into battle by a Datasmith of the Legio Cybernetica, who issues them with battle protocols, guiding their actions in the heat of battle and limiting their more autonomous activities.
