House Beaumaris is an Imperial Knight House of the Questor Mechanicus that has sworn fealty to the Adeptus Mechanicus. There is very little information in Imperial records about this Knight House, and it is unknown from which Knight World it hails.
House History[]
Notable Campaigns[]
- Battle of Beta-Garmon, "The Titandeath" (006-013.M31) - House Beaumaris took part in the long and savage Beta-Garmon campaign, which included hundreds of war zones across dozens of worlds. During this conflict, House Beaumaris provided Knight support to the Legio Defensor. Even before the greater armies of the Warmaster Horus reached the star cluster, the battle lines had long since been drawn, and fighting had been going on for many Terran years. It was a cauldron of battle that would consume millions of lives before its end and see the demise of entire Titan Legions, earning this campaign the dire moniker of the "Titandeath." The Beta-Garmon Cluster, also known as the gateway to the throneworld of Terra, was the last hurdle that the Warmaster Horus' forces had to overcome before they reached the Imperium's capital world. Heavily fortified by the Loyalists, Beta-Garmon would become one of the greatest and bloodiest battles of the Horus Heresy, as well as one of the longest-lasting.

Canon Conflict[]
This Knight House appears in the outdated 126th issue of the UK edition of White Dwarf magazine, and the images presented here do not mesh with existing canon. The Knight shown above possesses armament characteristic to a Knight Errant, but since this type did not exist in this old version, it was called a Knight Paladin. Likewise, the hunched model in the gallery below is also a Knight Paladin, although Knights using such a chassis do not exist in the current incarnations of the Knight combat walkers.
