Amongst the rarest types of Knights, even during the [[Horus Heresy]] they were the sparsest class produced by [[Forge World]]s. Within its frame are housed relics understood only by the most learned [[Tech-Priest]]s. These included dedicated repair autosimulacra to near-impenetrable [[Ion Shield|Ionic Flare Shields]]. However, the strain placed on the armour's [[atomantic reactor]]s leads to dangerous levels of radiation being exposed to the pilot and in the event of heavy damage a potentially catastrophic explosion can occur.{{Fn|3c}}
Magaera-type Knights are most often used as shock assault units, breaching the most heavily defended enemy positions, while shrugging off heavy weapons fire and self-repairing even devastating weapon strikes in a few minutes. To aid in this role it is armed with a complex [[lightning cannon]], using focused electro-magnetic beams to vaporize infantry and blast apart armorarmour.{{Fn|1}} Other weapons of this Knight can include [[Phased-Plasma Fusil]], [[Reaper Chainsword]], [[Rad Cleanser]] and [[Hekaton Siege Claw]].{{Fn|2}}
