I have givin up all hope of seeing any mechanial love from GW. We will have to make due with own vastly sub-par codex and high priced FW "fixes".

 "Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

yeah,  Fishboy wrote:Funny thing I wrote a similar email this morning: "I am seeing all the chatter about a new Knight release with new models. While excited about the release I want to vent my frustration with you guys on this matter. I purchased the Knight codex in digital and print when it came out. The print version was worthless after the first FAQ came out in a matter of a few months. Now the codex is completely invalid with a new codex in less than a year!?! I love the releases you guys are doing but to work codex's this way is a dis-service to your customer base. I spend a lot of money on GW products and would like to see some type of financial apology to Knight players where we can turn in our old books to get a huge discount on new and allow us some way to purchase just the new sprue." I have not received a response yet...
Good email you deserve a response. I never even thought about those who doubled down on digital. Two codexes for this army.  Plus a third (fourth if you already bought it... ) codex if you decide to ally in a knight. and why wouldn't you they are the pinicle of the AM way of waging war! It's like someone at GW discovered that there is more money in selling paper than plastic! Panic...

Five if you bought the "old" knight codex 2014 and you're getting the new 2015 replacement one. It's 40k, Call of Duty style!

Ah, sorry, didn't see that. Don't forget the core rules for $80 as well. That's almost $280 before you've even bought a single model! I realize not all are necessary and that this is a worst case scenario but the point stands. And, yes, I do think GW is purposely adopting a video game strategy for purchases with their DLC/microtransactions and now yearly iterations of the same damn thing.

here's the Knightly Heirlooms:
Sanctuary - Counts as Ion Shield, uncovered facings get 6+ inv.
Ravager - (chainblade) S: D, Ap1, re-roll failed to hit rolls of 1.
The Paragon Guantlet - s: D, Ap2, Colossal, Hurl, Master-Crafted.
Mark of the Omnissiah - Gains It Will Not Die.
Helm of the Nameless Warrior - Gains Rampage.
Banner of Macharius Triumphant - All friendly from Armies of the Imperium
faction within 12" re-roll failed morale, pinning and fear tests.

Every knight should have Sanctuary as a standard piece of equipment.
A knight with Rampage just makes sense.... 
The banner is completely worthless.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

Depending on the cost, the banner should be good for infantry Guard. It's going to have the same effect as a Regimental Standard, but cover a far larger area and be harder to get rid of. That's a lot of points saved on Commissars!
The IWND and Rampage ones look decent too.

Price is going to determine a lot. If they do Gerantius again, plus this relic on another, you got two IWND Knights. Not bad, but honestly, Big G is too expensive currently.
Fingers crossed that these Heirlooms are not like Relics and can be taken by any Knight, not just one. But that is asking for way too much.

They're Heirlooms, suggesting that yeah--they will be "taken by just one".

I'm willing to let you dream, but really why would you expect something called " Heirlooms" to be some kind of generic wargear option?

Because they didn't call them relics? Maybe I was thinking more like "tomato" as opposed to "priceless one-of-a-kind artifact". Just call me a dreamer, man.

The books are to tell you how to paint the models, duh
Though, that isn't too far from the truth with a good chunk of some of the books, like the first Imperial Knights codex. Ironically, a Sisters book would have as much or more content as some of he low model count books.

I have been waiting a VERY long time for this. Nuns with guns get zero love for what ever reason. The point cost for a Canoness is way to high if you ask me and any army where you have to chose a special character as your HQ is not built right.
As far as the Knights go I can't wait. The Avenger Gattlin cannon definitely makes the Castigators somewhat obsolete. Glad the Knights will have some sort of AA.

GW do tend to suck at female models though, barring Lilith, Sisters of Avalon and the new Witch Elves. On a side note though the Castigators may become obsolete as allies but in a knights army they are still troops while the wardens are heavy support right? I'm sure I read that somewhere.
