Hmmm. I had to hike to an official GW shop for the IK white dwarf last year since my local shop sold out....

Field trip time!

could also buy it digitally now

Little update via BoLS... well, maybe BIG update...

Quake Cannon or Volcano Cannon, anti-air, and built in Void Shield Generator on both.

LOL. Wraith... what?

That's weird that it'd have a Volcano Cannon on it as that's normally on the Baneblade Chassis. Maybe they meant something else?

Hang on a second... I thought Crusader and Warden were Clan factions in Battletech?

•Both Knights are coming via a combined combo kit.
•Plastic kit will be released in the short-term, but the exact week is unknown.
•The Warden & Crusader will share White Dwarf only rules initially, with inclusion in a codex coming later.
•The new designs do not share the “turtle shell” carapace, and have a divergent appearance.
•Both models share an up-armored, brutal appearance compared to the Paladin/Errant model.
•Both share three weapon hardpoints, 2 arms and a top carapace mount.
•Both new Knights share a Heavy Support position in a Imperial Knights army list.
•Expect an Imperial Knights “Decurion” formation to be arriving with the new kits.

No turtle shell carapace and an "up-armored brutal appearance"!!! Maybe I will get some Knights at lat

I was not a fan of the turtle on spindly legs look (although, BrianDavion, you are totally right, it was the Readers' model of the year, so obviously just me )

We can only hope....



(this is the Thunderhawk-priced Mars Pattern Reaver Titan)

The Thunderhawk is loads cheaper than the Reaver $700 for the Thawk $900 + for the Reaver

If there's a new Knights codex as has been rumored, I'm going to be fairly upset, it wasn't too long ago that the last one came out...

Yea, I was thinking this, surely they wont do a redo.

I'd be surprised if either the existing or new Knights made it as actual entries in any of the Mechanicus codexes. I'd not be surprised with them launching a new codex for Knights so soon, the current codex always felt rushed and has to have impacted the ongoing sales of the Knight kit.

This assumes that GW can make connections between dropping sales and a specific release (but no market research). In fact, it would mean they would have to accept that their game actually does impact sales rather than just everyone buying The World's Finest Miniatures.

It's the weapons that kill you on the Reaves, but when you get to $700 for a model, who's counting?

It's really no different than price between a Chimera and a Taurox.

The news continues on an Imperial Knight release that includes two new units, an Imperial Knight Warden, and Crusader. These guys look large and powerful, with 8 hull points, heavy armor and a single energy field. Check out the latest.


Please remember that these are rumors. There were some earlier rumors as well on just what this release would be.. you can find that article here.
http://natfka.blogspot.com/2015/04/imperial-knight-new-model-releases.html

via Bird in the Trees on Bols
Crusader is armed with: Quake Cannon, TL Las-cannons
Warden is armed with: Volcano Cannon, Multi-barreled Autocannon
Both models have an optional top carapace missile launcher weapon mount, with multishot S8, AP3 anti-flyer capability
Both models are protected by a single energy field based heavily on the rules for the Stronghold Assault book’s Void Shield Generator.
Armor Values: Front:14 Side:13 Rear:13
Hull Points: 8
Both models clock in well above the cost of the Knight Paladin/Errant

It will be nice to get some decent flyer defense in the form of a Knight, even more so than getting extra big guns.

could someone please post the stats for the quake cannon and volcano cannon or show me where to find them. Thanks!

Quake is S9 A3 Apoc
Volcano is SD A2 Large

Knights out sooner than we think?

Nah. That will be the new forgeworld release for sure.

have they ever released something FW through WD like that? like on the cover?

I thought the rumor was that these were going to be plastic kits...

Just curious: how do we know its Imperial knights?
Or even 40k?
Imperial knights are kalled Imperial-Knight, these are called Knight-Warden etc.

Perhaps I dont get these redirects, but to me it sounds like it could as well be a new fantasy dual kit, you know, the new heavily armoured holy knights the rumors keep bringing up.
"Knight warden of sigmar!"
"Holy knight crusader of sigmar!"
Stuff like that...

One of the theories is that the teaser is for the new FW titan.

Ahh. I see. I'm a sucker for big, stompy robots so if the Warden/Crusader thing is true, they get my money...again.

well another possibility has also just been floated

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I was just told that there is a new Giant Robot for Cult Mechanicus in the Heavy Support slot
You get 2 giant robots and one Datasmith as a squad. The robots stand twice the ht of a space marine and are MCs. If I remember correctly you can add additional robots, it was 2 or 3. The Datasmith is a character that controls them.

Twice the height of a space marine isn't much of a giant robot...

Yeah, not going to call that "giant" more like a centurion....

That would be very disappointing, really big would be the Warlord, big just about applied to the Knights as so many other kits have come out at that size.

Redirects: The redirects work on the capitalization/autocorrect of products that have been entered into the system but disabled until GW's ready to release them. If the URL contains a real product, but miscapitalized, an HTTP GET request returns a different code that says it's moved than if you send it with the correct capitalization.

It's not going to be a fantasy kit for a couple of reasons:

1. The WD teaser (it would have to be a ginormous knight of sigmar)
2. There are 4 redirects:

- Codex Imperial Knights
- Datacards Imperial Knights
- Knight Warden
- Knight Crusader

Yes, we will at last hit double digits of useful pages in Codex Imperial Knights. And we will have datacards for a faction with 2 kits/4 variants. Woohoo.

Warlord would be humongous... Though there is a video I saw the other day with a warlord at the end with shoulder mounted weapons (painting). Very sweet

We can't have a warlord kit for the same reason that GW won't give us a plastic Thunderhawk... they just don't want us to have nice things.

Has anyone else chimed in on this other than "Bird in the Trees"?

Not that I've seen.

Yay more strength d for normal 40k. It's like gw has just given up.

Would be cool to see a tracked warden
