hermanista Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So because Imperial knights are about to hit the ground running as a fully playable force with its own codex, I guess it's worth starting a thread for all the folks joining the BnC household. So with that in mind. I'm a knight fanatic with eleven knights in my household so far. And probably picking up at least four Helverins to start with these new releases.

derLumpi Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I also love knights. Currently I have 11 knights (4 Warglaives, 3 Questoris, 1 Acheron, 1 Castigator, 1 Atrapos, 1 Styrix). The plan is 1 of the big fellas and 2 additional small dudes after having a read through the codex. I will play House Vornherr that was eradicated during Calth but I play that they rebuilt in those long years. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/#findComment-5092540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I chose House Terryn because i really like how they look. Currently have an Errant, Paladin and a Crusader as well as a couple of warglaives. Looking to get a Castellan, a Preceptor and then maybe a Valiant and yet undecided number of helverins, depends on their customization options. I remember when the first knight came out, I had to have one. I ended up enjoying building and painting it so much I immediately had to have another. And then the Warden came about and I had to had one of those. I didn't really know what I was gonna do with them though. The 7th edition codex never felt much of an improvement of a codex that had a questionably low amount of datasheets to begin with (even though it more than doubled the datasheets). Now, its being doubled again with an entirely new chassis, multiple armiger variants, and a unique character on the way, it feels so much more rounded and coming into its own as an army. Really feels like good time to get into knights now with this new codex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/#findComment-5092542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MistaGav Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yep big knight fan here. Currently have 3 regular knights all magnetised and 2 Armigers. My plan is to get the Castellan and then 4 Helverins for now and see where it goes. I would love to get a FW knight someday.

librisrouge Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I, too, love knights and posses 13 warmachines in my household. Looks like I’ll be aiming for 3 more or so (dat harpoon gun!)

Trixie Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 1 Lancer, 1 Archeron, 1 Atrapos and 1 Castigator here but might grab one of the new 'all the guns' knights and a few of the little guys to try a pure list.

KhorneHunter57x Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 1 Errant, 1 Warden, 1 (to build) Crusader, and 4 Armigers (left the arms off, accurately expecting an additional kit on that chassis) here. I committed to painting Hawkshroud's yellow long before the rumors, so I'm glad to see that my choice was the right one as far as rules are concerned. Plan on getting a Castellan and an Armiger Helverin box when they release.

jeffersonian000 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 While I currently only own one, an Errant from 6th ed, as a 30+ year gamer that Battletech before 40k hit the US, and played Epic since Space Marine, I still own 96 epic scale Knights, 8 epic Warlords, and 2 epic Imperitors. My Warhounds and Reavers wondered off. Definitely looking forward to the new codex and Knight models, might even get me to play 8th.

Spinsanity Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Alright, I'll have to take the plunge. This release really has me stoked to give House Gorkamorka (until I can come up with a better name) a go: Will probably start with the following bunch: Morktifactor, "Valiant" or "Castellan" class Flash Terror, "Warden" class Deff Waaagh, "Crusader" class Waaagh Skar, "Helverin" class Sturm Lad, "Helverin" class Fire Lad, "Helverin" class Until I can think of other names to add to the list which won't clash too much with the army... The Hack Lad would have been a nice name, but I don't think a lone purple knight would fit all that well amongs all the red, black and white... +Edit: A thought just popped into my head and I sure hope Games-Workshop has left some options open regarding the armament of the Valliant and Castellan; the Castellan is my favore of the two, but I'd rather give it shoulder-missiles instead of the guns, so I hope that the two profiles simply have locked-in main guns and the rest remains flexible...

General Strike Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 House Trycerios here, Outriders of Legio Tempestus,Scions of Lightning, I have: Freeblade: The Ochre Huntress, a Warden House Trycerios Crusader: Aquarius of Fourthhall, armed with RFBC and Avenger The Twins: 2x Arimger Warglaives of House Trycerios. I will be picking up Renegade, a Valiant, and a box of Helverins. I plan to magnetize all of them, but want a second crusader and a Gallant/Errant out of renegade. I don't plan to stop buying Knights, since they are the most fun I've had painting and building.

Frostglaive Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 House Lordra here. Got myself 2 Crusaders, a Gallant, Styrix and 4 Warglaives. Planning on 4 Helverins and a Castellan. We'll see from there.

Danny Cyanide Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Knights did not exist in 40k when I left the game, and they were one of the models that rekindled my interest once I saw them. I have been waiting patiently for them to move past their index before jumping on board, but I'm so ready to paint some huge stompy robots! I've ordered 2 Crusaders, one Castigator and one Acheron, have 2 Warglaives from Forgebane. I'll definitely be getting ime Dominus, and one Praetor, plus 2 Helverins on release day Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/#findComment-5092848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I have two Knights one i'm currently repainting. I have a Warden and an Errant. It looks like i might be pre-ordering the new big Knight whenever it comes up.

Prot Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I have painted 6, sold 3, and 4 in progress. Does that make me house "WIP"? lol Well I guess I have to be honest and say aside from my painted Armigers I really haven't been grabbed by a house yet. I would LOVE to make my Mechanicus functional with true interaction with a Knight House in game (not just fiction, but table function). However I'm willing to accept that may never realistically happen. So I will say perhaps I will enjoy a new house, Imperial or Mechanicus... waiting to see how they look and act. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/#findComment-5092888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipOffProductions Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I had the idea of making a band of Freeblades, if only so I could give them diffrent colors and stuff, but sense there's now going to be rules for personalizing Freeblades in the new codex I'm really excited to get that going. but I also want to save up for Titanicus in August... well at least that will give me a place to test color schemes.

Lord_Caerolion Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Got one Knight in the process of painting up for my fledgling Mechanicus allies from Forge World Angstrom, supporting my Lamenters.

Battybattybats Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Most of my knights are still unbuilt in my to-do pile (I work slow), but of course I'll be getting some of the new ones to add to my House Cydonia force and shifting priority on parts of that to-do pile.

derLumpi Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If done right, they are easy to build and fast to paint. First - build the legs and prime with leadbelcher spray, heavy wash with Nuln Oil Second - torso &shoulders (don't forget to magnetize them), prime with leadbelcher, heavy wash with Nulm Oil Leave all the plates separate and prime them in the color(s) of your house and paint the details. Weapons are the last things I build and paint. :D Depending on the details you want to paint this may be an approach to get your knights painted pretty easily.

Cleon Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I've got one Knight up and running (he has a Battle cannon and Reaper arm swap in too) The other two and the two forgebane little ones might get done now (currently way down the backlog), but I'm waiting to see if the hero box can e merged in with one of my unbuilt knigts to do two of the new types.

Stray Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I started playing 40K far too long ago, getting an interest during the Rogue Trader era via WD, and buying my first 'real' army around the launch of 2nd Edition. Walking into a shop and seeing a Knight for the first time in 40K scale was what brought me back to the game really. I've collected them (slowly, for they aren't the cheapest force to field) ever since. My House Malinax Banner consists of the following to date: Miserichord - Cerastus Knight Atrapos Silentium - Cerastus Knight Lancer Nex - Cerastus Knight Castigator Anathema - Questorus Knight Styrix Atritas - Questorus Knight Gallant Caligo - Questorus Knight Crusader Danse Macabre - Acastus Knight Porphyrion I think I'll pick up Renegade again - it's too good a deal to pass up, and even just the parts are useful frankly. I quite like the look of the Valiant too, though really want to know how things pan out before committing there - my disposable income is fairly limited these days.

Charlo Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 House Malinax, but loyalists who were lost off fighting remnants of the Rangdan in the Ghoul Stars and return in 40k finding that their planet is traitors. They operate as a tenuous house autonomous from the Imperium but will ally themselves with any forge world for the right price.

sneakybamsen Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 A lot of you guys are more ambitious with your knights than I am, I have a warden/crusader magnetized and painted, and a castigator magnetized with painting in progress. Plan for my knight army so far is a castellan and 2 helverins added to my existing collection. Goal is 2000 points. It all depends on rules for the models and points, given a crusader currently sits between 500-600 and a castigator is 500, points are a bit limited, so the Castellan better not end up above 700 :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/#findComment-5093191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They operate as a tenuous house autonomous from the Imperium but will ally themselves with any forge world for the right price. I discovered something interesting today that you might enjoy Charlo. You know those hieroglyphs that you see on Malinax Knights? Apparently, they are 'Chthonic script'... That's intriguing as I can only assume by Chthonic they're referring to the language of Chthonia - Home world of Horus, and the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus. Knowing that House Malinax were moved from their original homeworld and assigned to Xana II, does that mean that Cthonia is a homeworld candidate? Or that just that they really liked hanging out with Horus and his boys and daub their language over everything? You certainly don't seem to encounter it with any other Traitor entity that I've seen, so it raises some really interesting fluff questions.
