The Syrbotus is an armoured quadruped walker that was used by the Adeptus Mechanicus on the Forge World of Constanix II during the Great Crusade. These brutal walkers were used in the initial stages of the Battle of Constanix II by the forces allied with Horus under the influence of the Word Bearers' contingent, which consisted of space marines grouped together from different formations on Calth, survivors banding together and led by Nathrakin.
Syrbotae were used as part of the defence force used by Magokritarch Vangellin to repel the attack led by Corax, and by Agapito Nev to take back the barge city of Atlas. The walkers' arsenal included stubby point-defence guns, incendiary shells and plasma missiles.[1]
