Weapons and Rules of the Kataphron Battle Servitors
There has been a lot of talk today about the new Kataphron Destroyers/ Breachers, and the massive amount of firepower these guys have. Heavy Grav Cannons, Plasma Culverins on a troop choice with a Toughness of 5 with 2 wounds looks like a strong unit.
The guys at Gametrust just sent us in a set of translations from German to English. So thank you!!
here is a link to the previous sets today about the Kataphron Destroyers if you are just catching up now.
