Going by the kit I’d say it’s the guy house Terryn leaves behind to look after the planet. I forget his name

Probably Gerantius or the Obsidian Knight.

Obsidian Knight is the most obvious choice, as that one is already on the decals.

My guess is that the Character will be more generic. Like a Baron/Princepts/ Senechal type. Very basic so we can get a proper Warlord.

I can live with either Gerantius or the Obsidian Knight. Both are pretty cool and have fluff all ready.

Did anyone else read the bit about Freeblades being cuatonizable?

Can’t wait to see how hat plays out for my knights.

If it allows for dual Avenger I'll be pleased as punch.

I thought Gerantius has decals out there as well, just on a separate sheet. It would give GW something to sell with minimal effort, rather than providing an additional option for a kit that is already there. Go where the money is, I guess.

The character is one of the new kits. Forget the name but it means something akin to guardian and was a rank in the Templars for those that stood watch over the keep

Preceptor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preceptor Also the head of a Lodge in the Freemasons. Even in music, medicine and education its associated with leading/teaching. That's of course assuming the rumour is true

If the character is based on the new, yet to be seen, chassis then existing decals won't have much impact on who the character will be. That said it'll be a shame if we only have one special character in the codex when there used to be others. That said I wouldn't be surprised if the codex ends up with relics that make a generic knight into an effective analogue to those previous characters.

Where are you reading that?

Terrain is like tech priest with the ability to re-load, heal, and max out weapon shots for a Knight. Amrigers get Dakka with 2 amped up guns, and character gets a laser weapon like a Chimera, but you know, bigger.

Oh and if you like wolves, you will love the new knight character.

Terrain piece is repair station of some kind

The elected head of a Lodge is the Worshipful Master. A Lodge of Instruction is a different body that deals specifically with education, and they don't exist in every jurisdiction.

Remember; in a typical modern city, you’re never more than 30ft from a Freemason.

Possibly Spikey bits/BOLS/some dude on facebook http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2018/05/40k-rumors-imperial-knight-terrain-kit-murmers.html Hopefully its only one sleep until all is revealed anyway.

So what do you all think we're going to see from the Imperial Knight line at Warhammer Fest? Will we see anything at all?

I imagine we'll see things, yes. Possibly even Knight models.

Thatd be pretty cool. I'm trying to figure out of the titan models for Adeptus Titanicus will be large enough to use as proxies or for kitbashing with the new knights

It's been stated somewhere that the new Imperator or warlord titan for titanicus will be knight sized. as in the physical model will be the size of a knight.

I cannot contain my erection if true, if not because I'll be using those for all of my Knights.

I am going completely fluff accurate. it's what i do. (been through 3 armies in just under a year, and that's how you do that, that not being a sucky painter)

I imagine it will be things like 'reroll charge, or reroll hit rolls of 1' with drawbacks being things like -1 save, or less movement. Kinda like old style 4th ed Chapter Tactics. Not really going to effect things like loadout, but it would be baller if they did. If they did that though, why take any of the legal patterns for non-freeblades?

Freeblades will get the boost/drawback instead of house tactics, i imagine.

Thanks for sharing that.
This is my own speculation but it really seems like the Freeblades are how they expect other armies to take individual knights and that whatever powers they have are really just to make up for not having what ever army wide rules Knight armies may end up getting.

I'd be interested in taking knights to a megabattle. If there were 4 or so players per side with 4000 each, I could very well be tempted to only bring Knights. Anything to make the game play faster. Sure beats moving hundreds of guardsmen.

Hopefully we'll get some good stuff tomorrow, it was a bit saddening to come home after a long day of work today to find nothing Knight related.

We also got a peek at the Mechanicum Knight Acastus – first previewed at the Horus Heresy & Necromunda Weekender, this titanic Knight answers the question “what if you combined the Acastus Knight Porphyrion with even more barely understood and horrifying techno-weaponry from the Age of Darkness?”:

well forgeworld did re-announce this with better pics
