Second treatment of the same header — ⛔ one of the two will go
Knight Castellan
Unit · Adeptus Mechanicus
Checked as of · 1 official source · 2 min read
The named House Raven combat machine available to the Adeptus Mechanicus, with firepower and Drop Keeps in the published description.
A colossal House Raven machine
The Adeptus Mechanicus faction deep dive names the Knight Castellan and says that, in Dawn of War IV, the faction works with the Imperium’s House Raven to access colossal combat machines. Deep Silver describes the Knights as an injection of firepower and says they blast into battle using Drop Keeps. The named unit is therefore confirmed in a House Raven and deployment context, not as a generic Adeptus Mechanicus infantry unit.
The source’s emphasis is on scale, firepower and the cinematic entrance. It does not publish the Knight Castellan’s full weapon list, cost, armour, movement, production requirement or whether the Drop Keep is the only way the machine enters the field. Those details are kept separate from the confirmed name and role.
No pre-release anti-Knight prescription
The article does not name what defeats the Knight Castellan or how an opponent should trade against it. Calling it a colossal combat machine with significant firepower is not the same as publishing a counter. The source also does not provide a timing at which the unit becomes available, so a page cannot responsibly promise a particular late-game sequence.
The composition error is to treat the House Raven relationship as a complete technology tree. The authority confirms the Knight Castellan, its Adeptus Mechanicus access through House Raven, its firepower and its Drop Keep entrance. Exact stats, cost, survivability and counterplay remain unconfirmed.

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.
