Ganders Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hi, A quick question for the more informed. Are all knights originally from knightly worlds from before the rise of the Imperium? Or is it possible that Knights could have been sent to newly discovered worlds during the great crusade to establish new houses? I ask as I'm thinking of creating a house based on a Primarch's home planet. I guess if it doesn't fit with current fluff I could create a house from a planet rediscovered by said primarch's legion. Thanks in advance. walter h and Lord Lorne Walkier 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 They're pre-Imperium in that the Knight suits were part of colonising new worlds used for defence and work and over time turned more into battle suits and the Knightly houses we know now. I don't know if there were any Knights on Primarch home worlds, I don't think this is the case but it makes no real difference to have them on a rediscovered planet nearby :) Lord Lorne Walkier, Ganders and walter h 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Build your own narrative is always cool IMHO. As long as you can rationalize the story for your dudes, the sky's the limit! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Knights appear to be a part of the great crusade and many post heresy crusades. The express purpose of all crusades being conquest, I would assume that knightly houses might lay claim to a few new world's or commit themselves to a world brought into compliance or a new colony. This seams almost necessary as a campaign may last a generation and eventually stalls out. But even before then world's are brought into compliance or colonized, supply lines are established and the munitoreum moved in to supply the guard. Command posts and garrisons are formed, governors placed in power... It is inevitable that knights will settle in a bit on ant given world they conquer, as they stop and repair their machines, th ey and their entourage will mingle with populations, find somewhere to sleep and eat until the embark for the next conquest. War is 99% waiting they say... If a crusade element stalls for a few years perhaps... due to warp storms, or mechanical inability to travel in space, (void craft damaged or destroyed, undergoing maintenance, or ongoing void warfare delaying embarkation) people will need homes and will build defences and make decisions about governance, food etc. Yeah I'm thinking about it... I need to dev fluff for a house in the Acadian Subsector that is fighting on multiple sides of a local civil war so...

WarriorFish Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Fantastic work, the colours are executed excellently and the extra details really shine - well done! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Yeah, that Knight puts mine to shame . . . I think it's the pose that really makes it stand out. Exemplary work, Ganders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 It's been a while so I don't remember the start of the thread, but is he supposed to be attached to 30k deathguard? Cus he sure looks like it. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganders Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thanks all. And yeah he's associated with the Death Guard. I'm not great at fluff but I wrote a little about his heritage in the maintenance bay thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
