Imperial knights in 30k


arctic

Recommended Posts

I fancy an imperial knight (mainly just for fun modelling and painting) and was wondering if I can use one in a regular 30k legion astartes army? Can it be used as a lord of war or do I need to have an imperial knight army?

 

Thanks in advance!

Unless things have Changes in the Imperialis Army List book which made passing mention of this (I dont have the book), no, you cannot take a Knoght as a LoW for a Legion Army.

 

To do so, you would need a Questoris Knights Allied Detachment.

I was also pretty sure that everywhere I read had said updates made it invalid for an LoW choice now.  So yeah, as Allies only.

 

To add to the question here please...

 

How many knights does it require to make a functioning QK Allied force?  I have been curious for the same reasons - modeling/painting walkers.

I think this will be changed in the new Crusade Imperialis army list

 

In the book description it mentions "the towering war machines of the Questoris Knights, each of which can also be added to other Loyalist or Traitor armies as Lords of War"

 

May be misinterpreting it though.

In 30k it just sticks more to the go big or go home theme.

 

Whilst I would personally love a single Imperial Knight to join my Ultras, you're required to take a minimum of two (one of which gets upgraded stats and invul for a cost).

Data slate knights are a viable option for getting knight into a legion list due the whole 40k LOWs being legal if they don't have a 30k equivalent caveat being Named knights and all

 

Its cheesy but legal RAW as far as I can tell

 

If someone tried that with me I'd be cool with it as long as the colour scheme was correct

So you can't now take a single Knight as a LoW with a 30k Space Marine Army?

 

Then why on earth does the Forge World description for the updated Crusade Imperialis Red Book say that in contains rules for the 'towering war machines of the Questoris Knights, each of which can be added to other Loyalist or Traitor armies as Lords of War'?

 

I know that they do not specifically reference the Crusade Army List taking them, and so 'other Loyalist or Traitor armies' could refer to the Mechanicum, Solar Auxilia, Cults and Militia etc. but still... I think that statement got a lot of people's hopes up!

When have we ever been able to take just the one Knight? For Marines anyway.

Never. And Marines are not the only ones who lay claim to the loyalist/traitor brands.

 

It's a marketing blurb, they're not going to write "Questoris Knights, each of which can be added to other Loyalist or Traitor armies as Lords of War except for Space Marines because the Knights are typically more favored by the various non-Astartes Imperial forces and you know sometimes it's nice to give those armies little perks like this one and anyway we're giving Marines access to the Malcador tank in their upcoming red book so stop looking up a gift horse in the mouth and enjoy what you have also buy this book" :D

Are those the 7th edition 40k rules ?

Since we are in the AoD section in the board my wild guess is: abso:cussingloutely.

But be a man and hit that link.

I tried it and it was wonderful. ;)
