The Rifleman-Pattern is an interesting war machine, found on many knight worlds that have experienced war more than others. Considered borderline heresy by the more staunch players in the mechanicum, the Rifleman has still shown its effectiveness on the field of battle as a scout for larger knight lances or as a force multiplier for infantry forces.

Knight houses that field this war machine face an interesting dilema attempting to recruit new bondsman for this pattern as the machine spirit tends to reject any pilot without actual combat experience. Normally reserved for the lower nobility and retainers, houses are forced, at times, to recruit from the heros of lowly guard regiments after the completion of wars or battles. This creates a point of contention with 'purist' houses that believe the practice dilutes their honor.

Despite this the Rifleman has been a mainstay in variable doctrines, making them prized allies to the guard and marines. Their inherent nature also makes them more likely to work as bondsmen to freeblades as well.
