Ever since I got into Knights I looked at Forge World to see if they had any cool Knights to use and saw the very unique Atrapos/Atropos Knight. It might seem silly to even question, but in the Index, it is Atropos, on the site and almost anywhere else it is Atrapos. While Atrapos would be entirely unique to the Knight, Atropos is a Greek goddess, so naming a class of Knight after an omnipotent being seems to be what they may have gone for? Just curious about what they were going for, a uniquely names Atrapos they have on the website, or Atropos from the Index named after a Greek Goddess?

My Chaos index says Atropos as well. So probably that.

In Greek mythology Atropos is one of the three fates, the one who cuts the threads. So Atropos would be the correct spelling in the real world, though there's no telling if GW is intentionally misspelling the name to make it more exotic.

Madness is however an affliction which in war carries with it the advantage of surprise - Winston Churchill

Pretty sure Atropos is the correct spelling for the Jedi Cerestus Knight with the Lightsaber and Blackhole Gun.
