Don't you think there'd be some sort of online preview leading up to the Knight book?

Yeah, but the kits are massive. Anyway all the speculation will come to an end on Sunday. Either way it will be exciting. I hope the rumour of a knight with a fully modelled interior is true. That would certainly be enough to get me to expand my collection of Knights.

Have I missed something, what's happening on Sunday?

Every Sunday we get a community article detailing the following weeks preorders. Supposedly this week's article will be about Imperial Knights.

Aha, thank you for the clarification. I really hope there's something about Knights soon, I'm a big fan of the Armiger so anything more would be sweet.

First look at all the knight models will be at UK Games Expo, almost certain given that GW are doing a presentation of the future of Worlds of Warhammer and have a big stand there. Which is the day before they go on pre-order - we'll see something Sunday, probably the kit and character which might fit into the original leaked reveal plan. Armigers week after, extras weeks after that or so I vaguely remember.

Might see the other units on display, as think they'll be wrapping up knights pretty quick (two extra weeks) given what the next six months of 40K might bring and this is still before school holidays.

Makes sense. You get one more 40k codex out the door to tide over the masses then you go full AoS.

I plan on using Van Saar as the pilots of the Armigers for sure, their suits have a certain look and feel to them that isn't out of place with Knights.

As for the Forge World model, a head swap can make all the difference in the world, in this case a head from Statuesque Miniatures (I cannot find the source where I got the model, apologies!):

Nice idea, I have that model sitting around and none of my tech-priests are women, might as well have a female Questor Mechanicus. I think I have some Victoria heads.

To be fair you can't tell what the default Tech Priest's gender is.



I can't really understand the leaked exploding rule, can someone explain it to me?

Sounds like when the knight is destroyed, the pilot becomes a single infantry model, if he survives the explosion.

I’m wondering if he becomes a character?

Inquisition won't get their own. They're part of Imperial Agents. I've been telling people to look at the faction list on Warhammer40000.com. It's been completely accurate so far.

That also means Sisters of Silence will get the full Codex treatment.

there are only 4 imperial agents left ...
If sos become a thing, that means the book will only be inq and assassins

Well we might not get it soon but you think GW won't eventually print codex? They are running out of factions to produce codex and they love the print me money that codexes are. It will come sooner or later.

There are still plenty of sub-factions.

And, super remote I know, but with that rogue trader game coming out, do the Impeial Agents get bokstered but those troops?

Gw can easily split out some factions to produce more codices. World eaters
Emperors children
Kroot mercs
Speed freaks
Exodites
Black templars

Plus potential campaign books could cover multiple armies and allow for plastic kit releases without needing a new codex, to finish off some of the needed updates of old ranges.

Hell, they could split off every legion and chapter into their own books if they wanted, kroot mercenaries, savage orks, plenty of xenos that have been in the background.

Nothing saying they are done after they get these few last books done.

Would be neat if they showed off the entire upcoming range in one go.

They always do these after the pre-order preview has gone up.

I imagine Rogue Traders will join that list.

So, Valrak has just posted a new vid on Knights, with some info passed over to him. Certainly all very interesting stuff! Of course, take with a pinch of

If true, it means i'm probably never running Magnus again

Dear Athe, could someone just leak some model pictures? I can't wait!

Valrak is pretty good about his rumors, I think. I don't recall many of them being terribly incorrect.

Could someone give a transcript of the video, I'm not a big fan of sitting through his stuff.

Points wise -

Warden roughly being 411 points rather than 466.
New super Knights are both in the same kit, will cost around 670 points each.
Armiger with stubber now 164.

Pre-order on 2nd June, 9th for release.

Castellan and Valiant both have 4 1 shot missiles - s10 -4ap D6 dmg, IGNORES INVULNS
Shoulder cannons are essentially autocannons with d3 damage. 4d3 shots in total.

Valiant - Thundercoil harpoon - heavy 1, s16 -6ap, 2d6 dmg. Reroll hits vs vehicles and monsters +d3 mortal wounds if you cause any damage.
Valiant - Conflagration Cannon - 18" range, heavy 3, s6, -1ap, 2 dmg, autohits. But also says heavy 3, d6 dmg, so i think something has got mixed up here.

Castellan - Volcano Lance - range 80", heavy d6, s14, -4ap, 2d6 dmg.
Castellan - Plasma Decimator - range 40", heavy 2d6 plasma cannon.

28 wounds, s8, t8.

Many thanks, have an exalt!

No prob! Hopefully it won't be long before we find out more, like BS and WS etc. Really not looking forward to facing those 4 ignore invuln missiles if they can hit on 2's with a re-roll!

Those missiles are disgusting. Knight players don't have to sweat Magnus anymore.

Almost without issue one of them could one shot Magnus. Not that Magnus is seeing much play, but those Knights are going to be insane if the terrain lets them "reload" those missiles, as was rumored.

Magnus? Hell, I just killed a Shield caption on bike with relic.

Well, if the rumor is accurate and there's a stratagem to snipe characters, you'll be able to kill 2 of them in one turn, if you want.
