BloodWolves Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Has anyone fielded an Army that's based around an Imperial Knight House and have had ground troops? I've done a small bit of digging and found a few examples of "Men at Arms" but Im not super well versed in "Knight History" just seeing if anyone has created better names/ ranks or models for this?

Inso Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Well... the mechanicus use knights so you could use skitarii without any thought whatsoever. For knights on home worlds with imperial pilots, I guess you could just use imperial guard regiments. I reckon the Solar Auxilia would make good ground troops to accompany a Knight... https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Solar-Auxilia-Lasrifle-Section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tempting option I've been thinking about for a while. I'd be concerned that FW will LCTB the Solar Auxilia line before too long though. Playing with Anvil's regiment builder, something like this might work as Knight House Retainers: -Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsernameTaken Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If you want to go with a "medieval style" army of serfs to accompany your household to war, you could just wait for the new cawdor gang to be released and use them as count as astra militarum: I think it would be pretty cool thematically to have dirty peasants armed with scrap weapons fighting alongside nobles piloting some of the most advanced machines the imperium can produce. Of course it would require some minor conversions to make them "legal", but nothing too crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelum Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 As I told on the other post FW has a kit that looks great of the infantry that goes with Titans (Secutarii Peltasts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Unfortunately I believe Warhammer TV said they wont be porting those mechanicus units to 40k. I really like Ran's idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn´t meant it for rules (If only FW and GW could make that) but for the miniatures as they are fitting and look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 A mix of Freeguild and Skitarii/AM parts could also look ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
