The '''Vorax''' is a hunter-killer robot descended from the aforementioned Crusader that, like the Crusader beforehand looks more like an insect more than anything else. Created on pre-Imperial Mars to search and destroy Mutants and rogue machines, their cybernetica cortex engrams are known to be particularly predatory and vicious examples of their kind. Such are the vicious instincts inherent in their programming that they are wired with numerous override cantos to prevent these tireless hunting machines from devolving into renegades.

They fulfill the roles both of search and destroy weapon and exterminator of rogue machines and mutants. Armed with a pair of rotor cannon and a lightning gun for range combat and power blades for CQC. At times they are also dispatched by their masters to conduct a cull of surplus population during famine or plague, their hunts only ending when their master orders. [[Eldrad|What dicks they are.]] As such they are held in superstitious dread by the human indentured laborers of the Mechanicum's worlds. Like the Castellax, it was mothballed after the Heresy because its machine spirits were deemed too close to being Abominable Intelligence.

The Vorax is the Legio Cybernetica's fast attack robot and thus, is quicker and lighter (4+ armour and 3W, but I4 and lacking an invulnerable save) than the Castellax whilst getting fleet and scout. They also come standard with a pair of [[Rotor Cannon|rotor cannons]], a [[Lightning Gun|lightning gun]], and [[Power weapon#Battle-Automata Power Blade|powerblades]]. (Can swap the lightning for an [[Irradiation Projector|irrad cleanser]]) Outflank these sphincters and let their automatic programming take care of the rest. Unfortunately, 4+ armor, 3 wounds at t6 and no invuln makes them far too susceptible to krak grenades to be viable. With programmed behavior meaning they have to charge, keep these sick-looking mantis bots in single units of 1, [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|to use as a distraction unit.]]
