The named Adeptus Mechanicus deployment structures that bring House Raven Knights into battle with a cinematic entrance.
A deployment structure for Knight support
The Adeptus Mechanicus faction deep dive says that the faction works with the Imperium’s House Raven, giving it access to colossal combat machines. The publisher then states that the Knights blast into battle using Drop Keeps, which make for a cinematic entrance. That confirms the relationship presented by the source: Drop Keeps are named structures tied to the arrival of those Knight assets.
The article places Drop Keeps in a wider description of Adeptus Mechanicus vehicles and firepower. It does not say that every faction can build them, that they are ordinary production buildings or that the cinematic arrival is itself a combat ability. The page keeps the structure tied to the exact House Raven and Knight context the authority publishes.
An entrance described, not a full rules card
The source does not publish the cost of a Drop Keep, its construction time, its durability, the number available on a map or the exact rule that determines when a Knight can arrive. It also does not describe what happens if the structure is destroyed. A cinematic entrance is therefore confirmed as presentation and context, not proof of a numerical deployment advantage.
This page confirms the name, the House Raven connection and the publisher’s description of Knights entering through Drop Keeps. It does not infer a stronger roster, an automatic late-game timing or a counter strategy that the source never states. Those details remain unconfirmed until more documentation appears.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
