So it’s that time of year again. Once again I’ll be taking House Jenius to do battle in the annual Hunger Wars in Erie, OH. Hopefully I can do better than last year. A 2-1 record wasn’t bad. This year I’m adding in an Exaction squad to fill in that last 100 pts. I was using a Vindicare assassin until his points nearly doubled with the codex drop. If he either goes down and/or any of the knight units drop in points I do plan to bring him instead. There is a planned MFM update before the tournament (10/26, tentative date). You can see my report on last year’s run here Full list in spoiler Also the weekend following that is my FLGS ExtraLife event. As part of that, one of our organizers wants to try and put as many points on the table as possible. To this end the full might of House Jenius will be deployed. Assisted by a pair of warhound scout titans I’m looking at 9K possible right now. For this event I’m going to try and build and paint a Valiant and Lancer for the event. This will bring my total to 10k on my own. Plus give me some epic picture opportunities as they battle for 18 hours. Included below is the current list, I believe I have more armigars painted so will update it once I get a confirmed head count. What is a little crazy is that I’m not going to be fielding all of my knights, just the ones from my custom house, and I’m not even done building it up either. As with last year I'll add in any training bouts as they happen. For the tournament my usual ride share companions will be taking up Necrons and either nids or tau (she hasn't decided yet).

+++You know the deal, show us your Knights+++

Hello everyone. Here's my knight house. I really like models frome forgeworld more, so you won't see any wardens or errants here) Only those cute armigers and helverins. And 1 Valiant. because HARPOOON. Basically the only one completely painted is the castigator. The other ones are on different stages of painting\basing. Porphyrion Castigator Valiant Valiant pt2

Lil big knights! 368698878_10161052381015797_2401397191367279107_n As a bit of an intermission, our group is doing a throwback to our classic apocalypse games with a 30k, 30k game and after a weekend with a horde adjacent Anathema army i really wanted to run something Elite, and aint nothing more elite than Knights with Custodes allies! Both forces having barely seen table time all together, essentially being allies and addons to myriad other forces over the years (Especially the Red King!). It was also a great excuse to pick up a couple of War dogs and marginally de-Chaos them as my faction of House Gevauden is technically a traitor force but the sides needed me to play loyalist, just ignore some of the heraldry ;) 400303054_10161244507290797_8257101360268758453_n I also tried a few new techniques on these, fully switching basing scheme and trying a semi metallic metals scheme on the skeleton and trim from Eons of Battle (Check him out on Youtube!) 400006884_10161244507150797_3023115354319267329_n This is the Talon leader, marked by the Eye of Horus and lack of chains, but still only allowed a Crescent moon rather than full house colours. Oh and a battered Eagle head :D 399880337_10161244507090797_7942327079519253352_n The Leader also has a Claw instead of a chain cleaver because i presumably used it somewhere else, i was working with two Wardogs and a Helevrin but had spares from previous projects that provided the melta guns and one melta lance. 400415867_10161244506935797_5570782737444248837_n On to the next doggo, the basing went a bit wrong on these when you look, i mixed some foamboard in under the basing foil and no amount of filler or glue would make it sit right! Its fine at eye level though. I hope :P 399797527_10161244506625797_8193884184582457400_n Armiger pilots not of noble lineage are chained into their thrones, they arent trusted not to eject too early, this way the hull has to take a few good hits to make that possible... 399790842_10161244506255797_4945938056430139404_n The aged metal effect from Eons of battle really works for knight skeletons, i hate spraying them silver and working down, this comes up from zenithal black/grey with only a sprinkle of silver/gold drybrush, i thing i did too much honestly but im quite happy with how irregular it is :D 400221941_10161244506185797_6771008524261359581_n Their arms are technically poseable a little, if a bit stiff, but saves me a job trying to glue them mid painting! 400575055_10161244506110797_4002206168623378400_n There is logic to all the seemingly random pauldron art, i had a depository of all my AT scale knights designs unfortunately lost in a Harddrive dying (always backup kids!) Some nice battle damage on this angle too! 400209212_10161244505905797_1777089904988940389_n So three more Armigers for House Gevauden, hopefully the new model curse is merciful... Im sure ive spotted a few errors of course looking at the shots, always more work lol Thanks for bearing with me!

WarCom Article. Aaaand there's the Knight article.

I must have been sleeping at the wheel on this one and it's honestly never been an issue but here goes: Imperial Knights have access to Destroyer Weapons, namely the Reaper Chainsword and Thunderstrike Gauntlet. On the Destroyer Weapon entry on page 163, it states excess wounds are lost and cannot be carried over to the rest of the unit. Here's the question: if, say, a group of Traitorous Marines are in base contact with my Imperial Knight Titan, I can only kill, at most, 3-4 of them with my gigantic sword and/ or hand of doom- not including Stomp and Hammer of Wrath? I find this utterly ridiculous if true. My mind just can't wrap around this concept. Someone- anyone- tell me what's happening here !

Ave I have decided to join this forum in order to find tips and suggestions on how to go about with an Imperial Knight army. The IK have been a long time passion of mine. I still remember having the old models and now that I can budget and play such an army I have decided to begin a "walk". Since the IK are an expensive army I would like to hear the wisdom of more experienced players on several things concerning me, here we go. I play in a setting where FW is not exactly welcome. I don't know why but FW models are rather the exception than the norm so I have to work with the standard GW Imperial Knights as my foundation. The idea is to build a core of three Imperial Knights and supplement this with the Mechanicus. So... Which Imperial Knights should be the staple for my army? Which Mechanicus/Skitarii units should be the allied detachment for my army? Which formation should I consider? Which good and bad points does an IK army have? In my area we usually play 1850 points and we use the ETC format so the missions are often hard. My main army has been IG for a long time but now I feel the need for an upscaling. My opponents are the ever present Eldar, Tau and Space Marines, Necron and 'Nids are also quite nasty. What worries me is the AA element for many of my opponents field nasty flyers and I am also concerned for the increase of Drop Pod armies. Said that I have an idea for an army somehow set in place. I want a Mechanicus aligned army so the newly released Mechanicus/Skitarii are the models I plan to use in order to fill up the points. My budget is currently limited to an average of 500 Eur cca. so a buying list would be helpful too. I am not that good with painting but I really like the Knights so I would be glad if you can point me to some nice painting tutorials for this model. Thanks Seneschal
