Why Play Imperial Knights[edit] Um. you have one? Most people will take Imperial Knights as allies to another force which works perfectly fine, unless your opponent thinks taking a super-heavy vehicle in regular games is OP, but remind him that that is just the way that 7th Edition works now and then slap his bitchface for insisting that his Wraithknight is still totally legit. It takes a very rare player to be able to field an entire detachment of these guys, and the tactical effectiveness in regular 40k is dubious, since you have so few models. With the 7 E codex, their effectiveness has gone up considerably with the addition of carapace weapons and the Household Detachment gives every knight Ob Sec, making fielding them at least doable, if still considerably expensive. Admittedly though your models will be immune to non necron small-arms fire and any melee attacks of S6 or less. That is not an excuse to get complacent as each Knight lost will diminish your army considerably. Also, the 7th Edition Codex update is here. So, what did 7th Edition bring for this force? We got 3 new Knights, 1 is focused on Dakka, 1 is a customizable hybrid, and one is all about close combat. Plus you also get the ability to put carapace weapons on Knight Paladins and Knight Errants, meaning you now have AA options. Also new relics and formations. Special Rules[edit] Detachments[edit] Household Detachment - 3-5 Knights of your choosing. You get the typical WT re-roll, Ob Sec on all of them ( NICE and one of them gets to become a Character who gets to take relics, gets +1 WS/ BS and can re-roll to-hit in challenges. Generally speaking, you are probably better off with the Baronial Court formation. With exactly the same requirements, you lose Ob Sec but your knights get rules which improve their function considerably. Obsec Knights sounds cool, but you've then just committed 20%-33% of your.
So saw this in the latest white dwarf and didn't remember seeing anything about it here. Looks like a small scale game where you just 1v1 with knights. Game itself looks like a pretty good deal as you get two Knight models and the rules and a bit of terrain for £120 while the knight models are like £90 sold separately so there is easily £200 of 'value' in the box. They do a battle report on it in white dwarf and seems to be very quick matches, was all over on turn 5 and the mechanics kind of remind me of star wars X wing with the 'plan' and 'move' phase. Any opinions on this? Personally I think it looks great.
