==Description==
[[File:KnightRuinator.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Knight Ruinator{{Fn|1}}]]
Built upon an [[Abhorrent-class Knight]] chassis, the Ruinator is a fast-moving assault platform and terror weapon. It is armed with a deadly [[Darkflame Lance]] for its main ranged armament, alongside a vicious melee weapon called a [[Fellbore]]. The Knight Ruinator is also equipped with a pair of fear-inducing [[Terrorpulse Missile Launcher]]s whose armorarmour-piercing swarms are large enough to burst apart a [[Space Marine]] and spread panic amongst those who survive.{{Fn|2}} These cruel weapons are combined with the striding speed and ferocious aggression of the Ruinator's [[Machine Spirit]], resulting in spectacular carnage on the battlefield. It can even quickly destroy fellow [[Knight]]-class or super-heavy walkers by pounding the pilots within into submission with their panic-inducing terrorpulse missiles.{{Fn|3}}
There exists a strange bond between the machine spirit of the Knight Ruinator and those of [[War Dog]]s. Though no [[Idolator]] has ever been able to explain why, the connections between their [[Throne Mechanicum]] and the [[Helm Mechanicum]] of War Dogs resonate strongly. [[Armiger Knight]] War Dogs are compelled to flock around Knights Ruinator and follow in their footsteps in battle. In extreme cases, War Dog pilots have even had their own vehicles machine spirits straining against or even disobeying their commands in favor of supporting a nearby Ruinator. Whatever the cause, this combination creates a potent effect in battle, allowing the Ruinator to provide supporting fire as the War Dogs advance.{{Fn|2}}
