Cataphractii Primus
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Cataphractii Primus was a relic of the Dark Age of Technology, discovered during the time of the Great Crusade.[1a]
The Cataphractii Primus represents the very earliest example of Cataphractii armour, modified from suits which were designed to survive inside operational plasma reactors. Three Known examples were known to exist, one of these suits was retained by the Martian Mechanicum, another in the Legion's own Forge, and the third was traditionally worn by a Sons of Horus assault captain who has risen through the ranks of the Justaerin Terminator elite, its superior power generation and transmission systems granting the wearer protection far above that of other patterns of Terminator armour.[1b]
