The Kastelan Robot is the maniple's autonomous war-engine — no longer a fighter on the gang grid but a §5c construct-walker resolved through the Ash-Wastes vehicle rules. A towering Legio Cybernetica hull grinds forward on the same inexorable line as the wall it anchors, thick to the front (Toughness 8 to the face, 7 flank, 6 rear) and stubborn to steer, its blessed 3+ plate armouring six Hull Points against the fire that would fell a lesser frame. It stamps at Movement 6", faster than the Onager it fights beside, a Walker that closes rather than merely holds. Its heavy phosphor blaster rakes the long lane from a fixed Front hardpoint while its Kastelan power-fists tear apart anything that reaches it — a rare dual-threat that must face its prey to bring either to bear. Mindless without its Cybernetica Datasmith, it fights by remote rite, its handling, its wounds, and every catastrophic Loss of Control reckoned through the Ash-Wastes vehicle rules as it advances. Fielded one at a time, it is the prohibitive centrepiece the whole line forms around; its re-derived price is provisional, priced from the profile rather than ported from the Brute chassis it left behind.

The Onager Dunecrawler is the Cult's six-legged siege-walker — a slow, heavily-armoured hull that grinds forward on the same inexorable line as the construct wall it escorts. Thick to the front and stubborn to steer, it moves at a crawling Movement 6" and shrugs damage the way the Kataphrons do, a rolling redoubt of blessed metal rather than a spearhead. Its neutron laser anchors the maniple's long lane, folding armour and cracking the heavy targets the wall's own guns cannot reach, while the cognis heavy stubber rakes anything that closes on its legs. Fielded one at a time, it is a centrepiece the line forms around, resolving its handling and its wounds through the Ash-Wastes vehicle rules as it advances — never fast, always coming.
