Will FW provides a FAQ, allowing the use of Forgeworld.[/b]


What exactly is stopping us from using forgeworld? Besides a few stratagems and relics, I didn't see any specific restrictions.

The Knight lancer as House Terryn with the Warlord trait of Knight senschal and Helm of the nameless warrior looks pretty nice.


Until FAQ'd, none of the FW knights have the Imperial Knights keyword, and if taken in a detachment with Codex knights they all lose the Knight Lance and Household Traditions special rules (as they require every unit to have the Imperial Knight keyword).

Unless I'm mistaken, RAW this means that if you took a FW knight and Questor Imperialis Armigers you could get the +3CP from a normal Super Heavy Detachment (but not the Household Traditions and no models would be a character).

Right, but it's reasonable to assume this will be FAQd shortly to something rational. I don't think we should have to wait for that to happen before discussing whether we think FW knights are any good.

Let's assume that RAI is for FW knights to count for lances, to have the right keywords and so on. Would you take them?


If the Styrix gets a point drop then I'd be tempted. A build with House Taranis, Landstrider, and a 2+ armor save seems pretty damn resilient. 2+/4++(5++ against melee)/6+FNP/ and heal 1 wound every turn on a 5+ before stratagems. Landstrider gets him into the thick of it to make the most of his durability.
