helterskelter Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If you're running Armiger like that keep the Preceptor. It gives them rerolls of 1 to hit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/page/4/#findComment-5096840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakuth Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yeah, just had a look at the points in another thread. If I run a Crusader instead of a Castellan then I can get 4 Knights (Errant, Gallant, Crusader, Preceptor) & 2 Hellglaives for a tad under 2k. It's actually 2k on the dot if I give the Crusader a rfbc instead of thermal cannon, but there's no room for carapace weapons.

noigrim Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 With the trait and the stratagem, can you buff a styrix knight to 2++? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/page/4/#findComment-5097101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 With the trait and the stratagem, can you buff a styrix knight to 2++? No, just to 3++ via Rotate Ion shields.

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 oh no. the boosting of knight ion shields through strats, traits, etc. not that 2++ can't exist. my bad.

I don't believe there is a warlord trait that gives a +1. There's a relic that gives a 4++ Ion Shield, but that isn't a flat +1 increase, it's a replacement shield. Is this what people are referring to?

chapter master 454 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 ok so can someone please tell me...as I seem to of missed a memo or something...what in the emperors throne is this new Knight Preceptor that people are throwing around? From what I have gathered it mounts some weird las-weapon and apparently buffs armigers? Where did this new datasheet come from?

Tyriks Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 It's Canis Rex in generic form. The kit is a dual kit, makes either a generic Preceptor or the specific freeblade Canis Rex. We haven't had previews of it but codex reviews (i.e. Winters SEO and others) mention it.

fedratsailor Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/2992 need to scroll down but it shows the datasheet for the Preceptor. Las-Impulsor. 2 firing profiles. also the preceptor can have either a stubber/meltagun/multi-laser in the chest.

Vel'Cona Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The Knight Preceptor's Mentor rule is huge, given how much better Armigers are now. I'll almost definitely get one.

Tyriks Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 As soon as I saw the Castellan I wanted it. I still do because it looks great but it's probably gonna be the last thing I pick up from this release. The Preceptor and Helverins look so good together, I can't wait to get them on the table!

Charlo Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 So I caved and got: Codex Cards Sheets Guage ....and a casual copy of Renegade! I'm not even sure if I'm going to use Renegade yet, but hey I want a Gallant freeblade and a shooty knight to go with the Styrix. Also think I'm more sold on a Preceptor as opposed to a Valiant/ Castellan seeing as I owe 4 mini-knights... And when I think of big knights I think the FW ones are a bit better. Then again, a suicide Valiant who's only aim is to CHARGE, deal loads of damage and explode for MASSIVE DAMAGE!

Vel'Cona Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 do we know the point costs for las impulsor and also the multilaser? I think the Las Impulsor is part of the base cost of the Preceptor, so it's 0. The Multilaser should be 10 points based on IG codex, but it could be higher due to BS 3+ . . .

If the crusader can take the weapon then it'll have a point cost. Otherwise it won't need one. for the multi laser: we pay 17 for our meltas per the index compared to 12 of the AM codex one. So maybe 15? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/page/4/#findComment-5097598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 3 Gallants, 4 Armiger Warglaives. I know I shouldn't, because it's a terrible army really. But my Warglaives did me so proud in their forgebane incarnation, that they should be given a chance in their buffed state. Or I drop 1 Warglaive and cram in the guard CP regen battalion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347688-the-questor-imperialis-bandwagon-thread/page/4/#findComment-5097674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthstar Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I've had one Knight since the kit first came out. Picked up two more a year later. They have done nothing but gather dust. Come Saturday, I'll pickup a new Big boi, and play knights to my heart's content.

Run them as House Terryn and landstrider and you are going to get several turn 1 charges.

Clingy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 But in Melee am I correct in assuming 1 arm is a dud. Ie you can’t hit with both weapons in the same round even if you use stratagems?
