The Castellar

A rare variant of the the widespread Castellan-type battle-automata. The Castellar was developed towards the end of the Great Crusade as a continuation of the highly successful Castelan Program. Although slightly larger The Castellar shares many design elements taken from the prominent Castellax battle-automata. The Castellar was designed to accommodate twice the weapon payload of the Castellax and it employed it to devastating effect. The Castellar had a very promsing start to its service but they quickly lost favor among their Tech-priests overseers due to a flaw in the Automatas machine spirits which caused a large majority of the Castellars to regress into an almost child like state. The faulty Castellars would refuse to cooperate without a Tech-priest overseer in very close proximity monitoring and when necessary updating their programing in Real time.The Mechanicum initially made concessions for the affected automata's due to their excellent combat performance, this decision was soon to be regretted when a further disastrous flaw in the Castellars machine spirits manifested. A small number of Castellars started having "tantrums" disobeying their overseers programming and turning there guns upon their brother Castellars and Tech-priest overseers alike. The Castellar was deemed an almost complete failure and was taken back to the drawing board, almost all of them were decommissioned over night bar a handful of favoured automatas which became ongoing projects for their overseers who feverishly upgraded them using components from other more stable patterns a practice which caused outrage among their peers and yet the resulting abominations continued to serve at their overseers own peril.
