Are there really no generic reserves rules this edition?

Well, this would take slow rolling to a new extreme!

Lol! Those are for Renegade. You roll the dice to determine the hit location. One die represents vertical drift and one represents horizontal.

Reserves is a rule, but generally limited to Narrative missions, and it'll be called out in those specific instances.

So do we know whether or not a auxiliary super heavy Detachment will confer the character bonus?

I'm not too keen on having to run three knights just to make one of them a character.

so is it me of Mortan allows reroll hits w/o condition compare to krast that only during charge/charged/HI & against titanic?

NZ preorders just went up and

"...Command Benefit of each IK Super-heavy Detachment is changed None unless it contains any combinations of at least three QUESTORIS CLASS or DOMINUS CLASS"

Can someone translate horrible resolution?

If you have an Imperial Knights super heavy detachment you can select one Knight to be a Character.

This detachments command benefit is changed to none unless you have at least three questor or dominus class units.

fair enough. You get warlord traits regardless, just not cp

Forgeshrine


Valiant


Castellan

Okay, so it looks like you can make a character even if you have a bunch of Armigers, which is good. Which means you can make them a Warlord and give them Relics. So at least that rumor was bunk.

and guard battalions are cheap, and I’m already running one

So am I interpreting correctly that 1 titan +2 baby titans= 1 can be a character but you get no cp?

yup.... hey wait does it specify an armiger can’t be a character?!

Only two cannon turrets and two missile turrets per kit. Thought so, but damn.

If you can take three cannon turrets I’m converting it somehow regardless, but I’ll not get my hopes up.

Yep.

Defo two big’uns, box of little’uns, and the Codex.

Bro is getting me another box of little’uns, because it was my birthday yesterday. Which is convenient.

Bummer that the Helverin doesn't have the parts for Warglaives.

So does 2 Questoris class and one Dominus give you CP or is that also out of the question?? This is already the dumbest restriction ever, GW really hates elite armies.

EDIT: missed any combination

By the throne, I skipped “any combinations.” I was gonna be right pissed if I couldn’t take a Dominus class and two regular Knights and not get the benefits.

What's hilarious is that FW knights don't have either of those keywords. So over half of all existing Knight units can't generate CP for a Knight army.

It's like GW don't want our money.

Wow. I didn't even think of that.

Wait, FW ones have Questoris. Does this not count?

If so, I'm Angron levels of mad.

And the Knights were supposed to be in a certain book.

Gw said on stream today there would be an errata for the FW knight types to be able to qualify for the Knight lance benefit

The NZ preorders are up and if the armiger chassis doesn't help to give CP in a SHD then the "Imperial knight lance" bundle the sell on the site is really stupidly named.. I mean it would still give you the character keyword I guess but it still seems very confusing

The review game from the guys over at Tabletop Tactics is up... Time to strap in for a 2 hour 25 min video!


A video up on the Valiant as well, by Winters.

I feel as tho the 3 large kinght CP restriction should be lifted if you have a full knights list, they are basically telling us dont tun pure knights.

BIG BIG BIG stratagem reveal at ~11:40 - Exalted Court.

1/3CP. Pick a Knight, it gains the Character keyword. They get a warlord trait for free (but aren't the warlord). All must be different though.

Guessing it is pick 1 Knight for 1CP and 2 Knights for 3CP.

1 of the warlord traits gives +1 CP, so you essentially can get a 2nd Character for free!

Valiant Relic is called the "Traitors Pyre". Gives the big flamer re-roll wounds. lol!

Valiant also costs UNDER 600 points!!!

Wow, rotate ion shield stratagem costs 3CP when used on the new Dominus Knights. 1CP for normal Knights.

Was that 120 pounds price legit?

I thought it was supposed to be 165 pounds.
