If I ran this for 2k:

Gerantius
Paladin

Adamantine Lance
Paladin x3

According to the FAQ I could make any of them the Warlord....Figure the lone paladin would be best to bump his shield to 3++ since gerantius gets 3++ already and the formation gets a reroll.

You can make an Imperial Knight as a warlord by fielding three, in which case one can be the warlord OR having an imperial knight and no other characters. By doing so, you make the knight a character and can roll.

Yeah,I am aware of the faq. I am making sure the FAQ for 7th being at least 3 in an army counted detachments and I wasn't misinterpreting something.

Im just surprised every time i see these questions that people have this many knights in their armies. :-P

It's like subwoofers in your car - you get one, and that becomes the start of a mild obsession!



and doesn't this picture give you a warm glow inside?

Stuff the Meta,....that's an awesome force.

Knight partly off the battle field! DQ'd! (joke)

isn't Gerantius a character?

Any Knight can be nominated to be the Warlord so long as you have at least 3 Knights in your army even if you have a character. Also if your army has at least 1 knight and no other characters the knight can be your warlord.

This is 1500 points but I do have 5 total all are magnetized for both weapons.

Your a sick man! God I want to have something similar to this for Orks so badly, and NO! Stompas don't count, they are good but nowhere near as good/cool as a knight titan.

Ghazkuul, take 3 Imperial Knights. Orkify the crap out of them.

BAM! Instant Looted Knight. AKA a cooler looking Stompa.

A fun idea, but still does not make the 'stompa' any better. All you did was make the Knight worse XD

But having an Ork 'Knight' equivalent would be nice, which I think a lot of people thought the Nauts were going to be.

At US$140 a model (that's GW prices; you should be able to get them for around $105 if you shop around), it's actually cheaper to buy 5 of them for a 1750 point army then try to build a similarly effective army in any other race. At 1500 points, 4 Imperial Knights will cost you US$560... still cheaper.

Effectiveness on the table? That's up to your meta.

Can only fit 5 in at 1850. Add the named guy as one of them and 4 palidans is exactly 2k. Can get 4 to fit at 1500.

Also the 3 in any army as a lance is pretty solid option too.
