Ursarax Cohort

The Ursarax Cohort are close-assault battle-automata of the Mechanicum, heavy cybernetic frames fitted with jump systems that let them fall upon the enemy from above like descending thunderbolts. Where they land, they wade into the foe with power claws wreathed in lightning and integrated blast weapons, tearing through armour and flesh with brutal, mechanical strength.

Deployed as shock troops, the Ursarax exist to shatter an enemy line at its weakest point and hold the breach until heavier forces arrive. They fight with the pitiless efficiency of all the Cult Mechanicus' constructs, guided by the cold logic of their controlling adepts, and they know neither the fear that would make a soldier falter nor the mercy that might stay a killing blow. In the Heresy, loyal and traitor forge-hosts alike prized them as a hammer to break the deadlock of the siege.
