GW is impressing a lot, lately. 2 Knights and scenery for 120. Absolute bargain!

Let's see how the CSM-Eeyores try and spin their objectively better Knight as a disadvantage.

They lack access to the Formations and Relics that Imperial Knights get

So no Ad Lance and such

I've no doubt that we can expect more renegade/chaos knight formations in future. Having said that, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use the formations from the codex if they're just renegades.

Because the model is a Renegade Knight, the faction is Renegade Knights, so they wouldn't fill the requirement in the formations for faction or for model requirements.

As for this, is the rules in the White Dwarf or in the Renegade box? I would love to use some of my Freeblades along side my Daemons every now and then.

The chaos ones are actually not terrible, as said before their are a bit better TBH since they can double up their guns. More or less they condensed the whole Codex:Knight army list into a single entry. The only "downside" is that they can't be the primary detachment. I'm actully ok with this in all honesty. I also like the fact these are Renegade Knights, Not the Demonically possessed knights from forge world. I like this distinction.

I just wish for armour plates that had a chaos trim to them, with out being all organic/possessed looking.

If the Imperial Knight got a matching datasheet with dual arm weapons, I'd be OK if Imperial Knights were removed as a separate faction and made a Lord of War Choice for AdMech, or a single Formation of 1-3 like Chaos has now. Knight Relics and other formations can go away with no real loss to the game.

Maybe when the Skitarii and Cult Mech books are merged into one full sized AdMech book?

Just popping in now again, before I go to bed I must ask, is this a LE release? A one time game?

That is what I've been told, and I am on the fence seeing how this is a board game like any of the other ones GW has released lately.

I fully expect WD to include the rules for renegade knights so I dont have to get 2 more knights (would be my eight and ninth, I really dont need any more).
How the times change, not only do GW release renegade rules, but I also expect them to be in WD.

(now that I think about it, I only have 1 chaotic knight, might have to get this box anyway for the full detachment of 3 renegades /just kidding )

Element have it up for £96, so £1 more than the rrp of a single Knight Warden...may have to cave in on this.

If the game is any good that is a bonus.

Any idea how the game plays out?

The Renegade Knight 40k rules are not in this issue of WD though but currently only available in the game

Maybe they will offer the rules as pdf next saturday on their webstore when the game has been released?

There is a Battle report in WD http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/687062.page#8584273

$245AUD? Eh, pass.

I guess if you already wanted 2 IK then it's a good deal, but as an intro product for new players or a standalone game for those who don't have or want a knight based 40k army, it's way too expensive.

I'm sure they'll still sell a lot, mostly to people who just want 2 IK's.

Ooof thats good, 120 euro. Effectively a free knight and the terrain piece compared to a single Warden kit

Very happy to see another mission for BaC too, hope they continue this for the boxed games.

I keep reading BaC as "Bolter and Chainsword"...

Any idea when the US store updates? I want to preorder this and get my 30th anniversary Marine.

A chaos knight with dual avenger cannons sounds like a great add. Still str. 10 Ap2 in combat with stomp.

Anyone have the SEK price?

1440 SEK. This one is the first GW deal I've found that's not much cheaper in SEK than US $. Guess it had to happen sometime But with 10% FLGS discount that still rocks in at about $160 total which is pretty nice. There's a sweet deal from an online retailer in the US, free shipping is the big catch, Discount Games Store which is $152 or $153.
Either way, this is a HUGE bargain IMO and tempting enough under the discount worth picking up two knights % a terrain piece.

Preorders go live, officially, at 1pm EDT.

They usually get actually posted and can start be preordered anywhere from 12:40 to 1pm.

Whilst I get what you mean about the issues with a boxed game being that expensive, it is a good deal on the Knights, better if you can find a discounter selling it. That's what makes it attractive to me; I've always wanted Knights, and this is a good excuse.

This!
This is why I prefer B@C for Betrayal at Calth but whatever; it's actually a pretty cool scenario, with ammo crates you have to drag to teleporters and stuff. The real interest though is that you're on "limited ammo" and fire at half firepower but you can bus pt open a crate to get more… except then you reduce the crate's value and you, as the Ultramarines, have to get a certain value of crates off the board using the teleporters to win. All while Sor Gharax is thundering towards you….

Probably not. The last 3 games aren't.

Stuff like this is not part of the main line, BUT the new way of doing this sort of item is its made/sold/stocked in shops for 90 days. Then renewed or not based of its sales volume during that 90 days. So its not going to be gone is a few weeks and its not while supplies last, they are not doing that any more with the exception of special things like numbered codex of today's Imperial Marine figure.

Our FLGS only carries White Dwarfs on special order (and justifiably so). Just picked up WD 114 for the DWOK mission that way.

What's the WD number for this new B@C mission, anyone, please?

Thanks.


On topic: This looks really cool but I'm just not into 28mm for these sized models. I'm glad they're selling it at such a good deal for those who do play that way.
May pick up the rules on ebay and use it for smaller scale 40k gaming.

Man, I want that boxed set so bad. I would love to have two knights. The game is a nice touch, but my knights would both be loyalist. I am thinking a nice Orange and Violet color scheme for one, and the other as Gerantius or a Freeblade.

I'm building both as Imperial loyalist knights. I started a thread for people to help me decide on names for my knights (I'll eventually get a third).

Shameless self-promotion!

Thanks much.

I ordered the Imperial Knight game, and they gave me the anniversary Space Marine for free, for some reason!

Can't find anywhere that actually tells you about this, so it was a nice surprise!

You spend over £100 or local equivalent today and you get the limited edition Imperial Space Marine 2016 free if he's still in stock. Same deal applies across all the web stores and all physical GW shops.
