Vel'Cona Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Absolutely lovely Knight there, point-Zer0! I think the Castigator may well be my favourite of the FW Knights, if not just for the amazing name :P Be a good first thread in that new sub forum eh? Nudge nudge, wink wink (Sorry Vel ) We had a discussion about getting a Custodes forum in play a few weeks back, but it didn't gain traction. Many of the "mini" or "ally" centric dexes just lose out in the arguments to gain new subforums, and IK unfortunately still lands firmly in this circle. I'm on the fence about it simply because I don't want to divide our AdMech community (small as it is) up any further, though I want IK players to feel like they're welcome here. Perhaps we can discuss re-naming this forum in the minimum to reflect its status as the joint home for AdMech and IK further down the line . . .

derLumpi Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 To be honest, I'm reluctant to post something IK related in a forum with the title 'adeptus mechanicus' because it feels out of place Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/page/3/#findComment-5094172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we can discuss re-naming this forum in the minimum to reflect its status as the joint home for AdMech and IK further down the line . . . It's... really difficult. You're not wrong. Knights especially - perhaps more than any other faction in fact, are really really hard to place. When they were first included in the Mechanicus Codex, it seemed there was a certain amount of bias toward association with that group, but it's far from the full story. You can just as easily say they're 'general imperial' units, but then you have Renegade Houses as well. I suppose technically Renegade Knight topics should be posted in the 'Lost and the Damned', but then no Knight discussion goes on there at all really. It's quite a complex issue in it's own way. Some people don't tend to even see Knights as anything beyond a support unit for other armies, others of us play them as a full standalone faction. I actually made my way to these forums, because it was the only place online, where I could see other Knight players discussing Knights in a cohesive manner. I'm not sure other sites are quite sure what to do with us either :P Basically I'm saying, as much as I tend to make light of these issues, I fully understand where the admins are coming from on this in truth. I couldn't make a decision personally on this particular issue that I feel would cover all the bases and make everyone happy! There's no simple answer that I can see. You guys do what you can, and know that your consideration and thought is appreciated regardless Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/page/3/#findComment-5094193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Awesome menacing pose on that Castigator there point zero.

hermanista Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 It's why they've jumped up the painting list. Along with my Atrapos they are ready for airbrushing. This guys are slowly coming along in second, with every option magnetised. The one with the Lascutter may get a run out as a gallant as well, since it could totally work as Ravager as previously mentioned in a different thread.

Aothaine Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Pretty sure this is an Imperial Knight addicts thread. But sure... I first learned of Imperial Knights back in 2016. Picked up the last hard dex for them and fell in love. I held off people I didn't want to scare people away. But this edition is pretty damn amazing and I'm ready to take the dive. I am creating my own house so I can test all the rules out. I have two of the Forgebane walkers on their way. I plan on building up from those. I'm also hoping that painting larder models will be easier on my eyes and hands. Getting old sucks. However, if I can't do it I'll just commision them which I am tempted to do anyway so they look shiny.

chapter master 454 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Feeling sheepish looking at this thread having fully built my knights before beginning the painting process...whoops...also my collection of knights is nothing to most here by the looks...I only have 2 crusaders (non-magnetised, one with thermal, one with rapid-fire) and 2 armigers. Though they do look awesome...my only problem I have is that hawkshroud colours look like trash (I hate yellow. at least,on its own like hawkshroud).

Tyriks Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 House Sartoris, presently, has two fully magnetized Knights with all options available, plus two Armigers. When the new knights drop, I'm picking up a Castellan for sure, then probably a few Helvigers shortly after. I am really digging all the new kits, though I'll have to see more actual rules to decide if I'll get a Valiant or Canis Rex first.

Clingy Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 So those with forgeworld knights. I have a question relating to the seated scion figure that forgeworld produce. Does that actually fit into a physical knight? I’ve scanned the internet and can’t see any painted ones in an actual knight similar to how sir hekhtur has the roof of his knight open to reveal a scion. Is this also now going to be a thing for gw plastic knights that you can pop the hood so to speak. If it is damn wish I hadn’t got my knight finished before this came out!

Appreciate it dude. My google skills are not very good haha. The sir hekthur preview images show a cockpit seated pilot and a hatch on joints open similar to popping the hood of a car. I’m wondering if this is a sprue bit that will be used for the normal range of knights. Ie Hang fire building your normal range knights now as sprue upgrades are on the way In particular will the whole ejecting pilots be a regular thing now or is it limited to just hekthur. Lot s of exciting questions on the horizon.

Lysere Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I currently have one fully built, painted, and magnetized knight, one in progress knight, (mostly built, primed, magnetized etc.) one in the box, and the two partially built Armigers from Frogebane. I plan on adding the valiant and Castellan as well as another four Armigers to my collection, plus maybe the Preceptor depending on rules and loadout. Once my main Lord and his Court are done I might work on expanding it further.

Aothaine Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 My two Armigers arrived! I don't want to build them until I get the codex though.

SillyDreadnought Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 While not 100% bandwagoning, since I had my two Knights since the original Renegade box, I've certainly used the new Codex ( and a local club league ) to be the motivation to get my Knights out on the table. My first fully painted Knight turned out pretty darn good. Huge photo, I know, not sure how to slap it in a spoiler tag. Ontop of this guy, I've a Knight Paladin awaiting the paint, as well as two Armiger Warglaives. Comes just shy of 1500 points with Index values. Should be fun to have House Castraad walk tonight for the first game.

Nakuth Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I guess I may just end up on the bandwagon myself. Trying to decide between an eclectic mix of Freeblades (Scions of The Damasque - a mass conveyor they travel on), or a house list. If I run a house list I'll either do a 40k Orhlacc force, or my own house (if I can find the notebook that has my brainstorming in it). Either way, this looks like it'll be a great book, and my only other main decision is which Dominus configuration to choose (the Castellan will probably work best, but I love that Valiant).

Nakuth Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 After reading the latest info, I think I'll go with a house list, using the Mortan traits. Something along the lines of the following at 2k: Knight Lance SHD Castellan - warlord with -1 to hit at >18" trait Errant with fist, maybe a rocket pod Gallant SHD 2x Warglaives - run interdiction for Castellan/support in combat 2x Hellglaives Preceptor (points permitting) General plan: Use the -1AP for heavy stubbed stratagem on the standard SHD. Shove the Gallant & Errant forwards, get them hitting hard in combat (or exploding in the lines). Preceptor and/or Hellglaives providing mid-table ranged support. Castellan providing long-range support, assisted by Warglaives for any close threats.
