The Knight Castellan is a towering war machine in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, known for its impressive firepower, unbreakable shield, and noble heritage. Each Knight is piloted by a member of a noble house, who is duty-bound to defend the Imperium of Man against all threats.

This particular Knight Castellan, converted and painted by our artist Rejven, whose inspiration was the infamous Star Wars character General Grievous. If you look closer, you will recognize the armor color, the design of its head, and the collected lightsabers that were a trademark of this character. Even the weapons in its arms are in the iconic lightsaber colors!

General Grievous

General Grievous, for those unfamiliar with the Star Wars universe, is a cyborg commander who served as a leader for the Separatist army during the Clone Wars. He was originally a Kaleesh warrior named Qymaen jai Sheelal, who was transformed into a cyborg after a near-fatal crash. He had his body enhanced with advanced droid technology, including four robotic arms. This allowed him to wield multiple lightsabers in combat.

Grievous was a ruthless and merciless opponent, responsible for the deaths of countless Jedi knights and Padawans. He was known for his fearsome appearance and deadly fighting abilities, and was often depicted as a formidable opponent even for the most skilled Jedi.

The Knight Castellan is similarly known for its impressive combat abilities. It carries a variety of devastating weapons and is also particularly durable, able to absorb even the most devastating attacks.

Knight Castellan vs General Grievous

Despite their differences in origin and universe, Knight Castellan and General Grievous share a number of similarities. Both are basically war machines with fearsome reputations on the battlefield. And both can be sure to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.
