RW Black Knights Inner Circle

[jgascoine011]

I just want to make sure I am not being a complete nonce, but do black knights not get perma transhuman from inner circle?

 

Was just looking at the inner circle rule and it says infantry models.

 

In some ways I get it, but at the same time it kind of sucks, as there is not much point in black knights over plasma intercessors right now anyway, and it is just pushing you towards a more DW army

[Gederas]

No, they do not get it because they're not Infantry models.

 

And the point to Black Knights is they're for a Ravenwing force and they make the Champion, Ancient and Apothecary a "free" slot unit

As Gederas said, it only applies to infantry. So its effects will not be applied to various bike units, speeders, tanks or dreadnoughts that end up with Inner Circle.

 

What it does mean, however, is that any of the above could be included in a Deathwing detachment.

if you use all their tricks like pregame move and all that, they start the game with 37” of movement, shoot, and have a 4++

If your going for a Pure RW outrider detachment you want black Knights, Jink invulns, other synergies and equivalent plasma firepower...

 

If a mixed wing force you may find the Fly keyword and deep strike abilities super handy, but your shots output is going to be randomised if there aren't lots of 6-man units to trigger the auto 3 from blast...

 

Both units need babysitting or re-rolls to get the best out of them imho
