{{ImperialKnightsPortal}}[[Image:KnightStyrixStyrixArt.pngjpg|thumb|right|280px250px|A Knight Styrix]]The '''Questoris Knight Styrix'''' is a class of [[Imperial]] [[Knight]]. Housing [[machine spirit]]s which some say became too accustomed to slaughter during the [[Age of StrifeQuestoris Pattern]] and the [[Great Crusade]] that followed it, many conservative [[Knight House]]s consider the Styrix to be a malevolent pattern, the wanton destruction it unleashes being beneath a true Knight. Other Households hold no such reservations, loosing entire formations of Styrix Knights to annihilate their foes.{{Fn|1}}
Armed ==Overview==The Styrix was produced with equal sophsitication to the [[Knight Magaera]]. However, it has been meticulously designed to facilitate the efficient eradication of infantry and support vehicles.{{Fn|2x}} Thus, the Styrix was armed with a [[Volkite Chieorovile]] and backed up with a [[graviton gun]] and twin-linked [[rad cleanser]], ; the Knight Styrix is easily able to eliminate large numbers of infantry at range. Whilst in close combat, its powerful [[Hekaton Siege Claw]] can smash vehicles and tear buildings asunder.{{Fn|1}} Housing [[machine spirit]]s which some say became too accustomed to slaughter during the [[Age of Strife]] and the [[Great Crusade]] that followed it, many conservative [[Knight House]]s consider the Styrix to be a malevolent pattern, the wanton destruction it unleashes being beneath a true Knight. Other Households hold no such reservations, loosing entire formations of Styrix Knights to annihilate their foes.{{Fn|1}} The Styrix held great esteem to Households sworn to the [[Mechanicum]], especially among those scions who have undergone extensive augmentation. These pilots share their machine spirit's disdain for weakness of flesh. The Knights of [[House Col'Khak]] in particular are renowned for fielding entire formations of these machines in support of the [[Legio Atarus]].{{Fn|2a}} ==Notable Knight Styrix==*[[Rhadamanth]] - [[House Atrax]].{{Fn|2b}}*[[Xaulhqui]] - [[House Malinax]].{{Fn|3}} ==Images==<gallery heights="160px" widths="220px" mode="packed" caption="">KnightStyrix.jpg|Knight StyrixMageraAT.jpg|Knight Styrix ([[Adeptus Titanicus (Game)|Adeptus Titanicus]]){{Fn|4}}StyrixFixed.jpg|Knight Styrix ([[Legions Imperialis]]){{Fn|5}}</gallery>
