The Knight Questoris was the most common pattern of Knight Suit at the time of the outbreak of the Horus Heresy. Such was its popularity that it was reconfigured into a myriad of weapons and hull configurations. While many common types are still in use today, rarer types saw use during the Great Crusade and Heresy that had many sophisticated systems such as auto-repair and ionic flare shields.[3]
In Chaos Knight service, Questoris Pattern Knights are sometimes known as Abhorrent Class Knights. It is superficially similar to the Questoris, but have backwards-jointed legs and are often heavily corrupted by the powers of Chaos and its Heretek Idolators.[6]
