Armiger Warglaive

The Armiger Warglaive is a smaller, swifter class of Knight, a nimble hunter that ranges ahead of the greater god-machines to run down fleeing foes and tear apart enemy armour. Piloted by scions not yet worthy of a full Questoris Knight, or by armigers sworn to serve a noble lord, the Warglaive combines speed with a brutal reclusion chainblade and a thermal spear.

The Armiger Warglaive is the lesser cousin of the towering Questoris Knights, standing shorter and lighter yet no less deadly in its chosen role. These machines are often piloted by scions who have yet to prove themselves worthy of a full Knight, or by dedicated armiger warriors bound in service to a noble house. Whatever their pilot's standing, Warglaives fight as the swift right hand of the household.

Armed with a reclusion chainblade and a thermal spear, the Warglaive excels at hunting down enemy vehicles and running down foes who would flee the greater Knights. It hunts in packs, often deployed in twos and threes that range ahead of the main battle line, using their superior speed to outflank and encircle the enemy. When a great Knight fixes a foe in place, it is often a Warglaive that delivers the killing blow.

Though smaller than their Questoris kin, Armigers still carry the pride of their house into battle, their hulls bearing heraldry that marks them as part of an ancient and noble tradition. To command a Warglaive is to take the first steps toward the Throne of a true Knight.
