Prot Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 In case you haven't seen the rumour thread, it looks like this is definitely happening for Knights, including pics (in thread) of a White Dwarf cover for Knights, Objective Cards, and a little snippet of rules: Starting about here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305781-rumours-am-cult-mechanicus-knights-knight-wd/?p=4022578 Have you "Knighted Up" your Grey Knights? Will this cause you to do so? Or are you skipping this all together?

Aethernitas Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Now I'm sad... I thought they would at least try and bring the Knights into line with the Eldar Wraithknights by giving them S:D ranged options but that obviously was a false hope. I'm always for more variety so all the new weapons options are of course great but seeing your Knight getting absolutely demolished by a 100 points cheaper WK just seems so wrong.

Aethernitas Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm still looking forward to it. I'm too. I like the additional heavy flamer on the gatling and the ability to swap the stubber for a melter. I would have prefered some parts to modify the chassis and maybe reposition the legs but the Knights are still very cool. If I'm beeing a negative Nancy it's because out local game group has an abundance of Eldar players who all salivate over the new Codex so in my mind I always compare and mathhammer everything in comparisson to the Eldar lists I will be facing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306802-yet-more-toys-that-can-hurl-stuff/#findComment-4022986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first time I've been remotely interested in buying a knight. Rip open a transport, the guys fall out then you hurl the wreckage at them. Forge me that narrative!

jeffersonian000 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wardens with Icarus turrets just got AA duty in my GK list. Now to figure out how to fit in two at 1850 (or is it 1875, now?).

Prot Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yo dawg, can you hurl them Dreadknights at tha Wraightknights? Haha... oh man I ran out of likes for the day or you'd be getting all of them. I just laughed at that mental image of Dreadknights standing erect, pointing their Force Swords into the sky as the Knights pick them up like arrows and hurl them like javelins right through the heart of the Wraithknights.... very funny. Wow, it just occurred to me there are far too many "Knights" in this conversation Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306802-yet-more-toys-that-can-hurl-stuff/#findComment-4023607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm not sure what Imperial Knights add to GK to be honest. In CC they aren't much different to a Dreadknight, and aren't any quicker to get around. The guns, aside from the Thermal cannon that provides a strong anti tank/TEQ, aren't really complimentary to GK as we don't struggle to clear hordes and mobs thanks to our multiple str6/7 templates. In my shooting focused Ultra army, my Knight errant functions as a strong cc support element as my army advances - usually I send him off to chase units around the mid point of the game. I will say however, that the new Knight with the giant Fist looks brilliant! Getting back to this... what I'm thinking is the Knight takes the place of using a Dreadknight in that role. I mean looking at LVO wasn't a very successful army of GK using 2 knights, and 2 NDKs? (or was it 3?) in 1850? Also it looks like the old Knights can be modded to include melta on the shoulder? And the new Knight is capable of anti-air in the back of his head thingy... So there's that multi-role function that would certainly be helpful (has interceptor) against Eldar, Crimson Death squads, Eldar Bikes, Necron Arks..... I think it's actually quite usable! Ack. I just don't know which army to do it for. I can't buy 3-4 of them like you can. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306802-yet-more-toys-that-can-hurl-stuff/#findComment-4023613 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reclusiarch Darius Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Keen for the Warden. We desperately need AA support, and it's main gun is also very handy (S6 AP3 with lots of shots). Have to see how much it costs though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306802-yet-more-toys-that-can-hurl-stuff/#findComment-4023727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to see how much it costs though. With the Avenger Gatling bolter, the reaper chainsword and the flak-cannon think Knight Paladin plus naked Rhino. In fact the Warden comes with the Avenger Gatling bolter and the chainsword stock and the flak is exactly worth one Rhino. Only 2 shots S7 AP4 twin-linked though so not very useful against armoured flyers but it's something I guess.
