Annatar Giftbringer Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 A buddy of mine recently got his Knight asembled and pained, and was eager to try it out. I only have 1,000 points worth of troops so far, but I said sure, could be fun! I didn't alter my list in any way, thought I had a decently army, and... ... The knight fell. In round two. Glory to Chaos! Obliterators ftw! Slaanesh blessed me with very good penetration rolls and the beast staggered to it's death. The rest of his army was swiftly cut down by Noise Marines while my Lord managed to get himself cut in two by a Heavy Bolter in the same round the Knight fell... It was a fun game and the Knight didn't feel OP in any way - with the small point value of the game and my army being based upon MSU there simply wasn't anything for him to kill that helped the knight win its points back. Of course, with the dice Gods being as fickle as they are, I might get totally smashed if we run the same lists and the same mission next time...

incinerator950 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I just call them knights, simply because adding titan (different) is redundant. Not to mention it makes me think you fought a real titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The Knight has so far done more damage to me exploding than it has with its weapons. I'm going to be facing a primary detachment of them soon, though, which means I'll be bringing my own Obliterators out for a walk again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annatar Giftbringer Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 In a way, I think I was lucky facing it at such low point level - there wasn't enough models on the board for its explosion to reach anyone in that area! And also, all my units were small and cheap, so it had nothing really worth shooting at :-) Them oblits needs their walks, so they don't grow slow and... Wait, they already are, never mind :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I've had a knight one shot my forgefiend in the first turn of the game (using the s8 ap3 gun not the s9 one), but besides that I've never had a problem dealing with them. Unless you have a big unit for then to go after or let your vehicles get to close, you can avoid it until you have a chance to shoot it down so I have no issue with opponents using them in small games.

Just wondering but how? They need a 7 on the table to destroy in one shot. And AP3 gives you no bonus. Ordinance just lets you roll two dice and pick the highest.
