Imperial Knights Renegade - Contents

[Disruptor_fe404]

Hey folks!

 

My FLGS has a temping offer available: Imperial Knights Renegade is on sale for less than the cost of an Imperial Knight boxset (specifically, the more expensive one).

 

Now, I know very little of the world of Imperial Knights, so I have a couple questions.

 

1. Can I build a Knight Crusader from the set? This review says I can, but it's s little ambiguous. The review may be meaning that I can't build two Crusaders, but I'm unsure.
2. Are the rules for the Knight Crusader found in the Codex, or are they a separate datasheet from somewhere else?
3. Are parts meant for the Renegade Knight unique in any way? Or is everything Renegade conveyed via decals?

Thanks in advance, team!

Imperial Knights: Renegade comes with the full sprues for 1 Imperial Knight Warden (so yes, you can build a Crusader) and 1 Imperial Knight Errant. You actually have a lot of flexibility between the two sets to build a variety of Knights.

 

You'll still need the Imperial Knights codex, though the datasheet for the Renegade is pretty close to its Imperial counterpart.

 

Everything renegade is conveyed via decals, painting, and converting.

 

The Renegade box is a GREAT deal.

The only thing not amazing about the renegade box is the tiny decal sheet, but for the price it'd be petty to hold that against it. As Tyler says its effectively a 'full' knight, an 'original' knight and a bonus building.

The lack of the full decal sheet is the only reason I haven't bought a box yet.

Thanks team! The FLGS ran out of Imperial Knights: Renegade boxes, but offered to sell the separate boxes of Knights it normally contains at the same price.

 

I am now a proud owner of an Imperial Knight and an Imperial Knight Warden!

 

The only question that remains is whether I want them to be Freeblades or from the same Household. And also coming up with schemes I like.

Glad to hear you got that sorted for the same price !  I've been so tempted with the Renegade box, I just can't justify the cost at this time whatsoever.

 

Did you find out if you're able to make more than one of the carapace mounted weapon options - or are the weapon choicess all fixed to a mount that comes as a one-of on the sprue?

You can build the AA cannons & the missile pod. There are no shared components there - but if you want to leave it hot swappable I'd advise drilling into the pin and adding some metal rod to give you a linger connector and better centre of gravity.
