It all looks great. If only FW would make a House Orhlacc sheet I'd be up for totally rebooting my IK force.

**Kanluwen**

I'd like to point out that the Armigers are packaged in a set of two.

Really liking everything there, but I'm just coming off a horrible spending spree with Idoneth.

**ph34r**

Oh heck yeah, that double gun armiger looks so much better than this first loadout.

**BrookM**

I am in deep gak myself, next weekend will be a very, very expensive one for me..

Two big guys, two boxes of Armigers, Renegade, codex and all the assorted guff.. good thing I've been preparing!

**Cephalobeard**

I, uh... I really, really want more information now. Gonna be a rough week. Lol

I will note I am happy none of the castellan's or valiants weapons appear to be monopose, in that they're restricted to just one side. Gives hope to my dreams of dual wielding.

Lucky ducky.

I'm not going to get any of it(yet), just happy to see the Armigers being two to a box pan out.
Nice part is it means I can even things out so if I want some Helverins, they can go with the new Freeblade and be a wolf pack(hurr hurr hurr!) linked with my Cadians and the Knight I have now and the Warglaives can go Mechanicus.

Everybody gets something! Hooray!

Spikey bits picture leaks!
Gatling. Flamer.

Those articles almost always drop by 11EDT. it's currently 12edt

Look nobody has more reason to want it to be today more than me. I just had to sell my army to pay for car bills so i'm currently armyless. but if it the pre order announcement doesn't go up today the next slot is august.

Looking pretty silly now aren't you

**Mr Morden**

I like the smaller knights but the new big oens are bit OTT for me - remind me of that horrible Tau thing - guns on guns on guns....

It doesn’t look like anything to me.

Nice Westworld ref

Okay so... is all of that next week’s preorders?

If so, I guess that means that the character guy gets week two to himself.

Also putting all long ranged weapons on an armiger seems kind of a waste of it’s speed.

**ListenToMeWarriors**

Hyped at the updated return of Renegade, that is a great value boxed set. If memory serves wasn't it £100 odd first time round?

It's a good flanking unit with that setup. Depending on other factors, it could be a good way to get around bubble wrap and go for the juicy insides.

**Chopstick**

Wow that cross screw head Autocannon on the armiger look ugly.

**inflatablefriend**

So the character the week after I guess?
Tempted by Renegade, but I only really need the one knight so will probably just hold off for the freeblade and maybe a box of armigers (or maybe get Forgebane instead).

Not sure I can throw too much cash at stompy shooty robots when AT is so close, the wife will have questions. Incisive questions.

The forgebane box is missing the parts for the helverins if that matters for you.

Eh, without a close combat weapon just about the only reason to move with a long range gun like an autocannon is to establish line of sight on a standard board.

Which is critical when you're wanting to hunt characters...?

**Thanatos73**

Me getting the Renegade box (again) will depend on if the special character is a complete box with the Knight or an upgrade sprue.

**Bubbalicious**

Not to derail this thread but isn't that new Keeper of Secrets art on the book cover? The dead one in bottom left.

**casvalremdeikun**

Well...probably going to get Renegade. I love me some Knights. I don't really like the Dominus class Knights though. I am really on the fence with them. I am thinking getting Canis Rex and Renegade to add to my existing two Knights and two Armigers. Not overly heartbroken about not having the two autocannon arms.

What if you’re looking to grab some classic Knights to add to your army? Perhaps you’ve been inspired to finally bite the bullet, or perhaps you just fancy some more Knight Paladins, Knight Wardens and so on. Well, we’ve got some great news – Imperial Knights: Renegade is coming back, and it’s going to save you EVEN MORE money than before!

For those of you that missed it the first time, Imperial Knights: Renegade is a boxed game that pits two Knights against one another in epic combat. As well as being a great game in its own right, the set costs much less than buying two Knights on their own, AND even features some scenery – we’ve swapped out the older Sector Imperialis stuff for a shiny new Galvanic Magnavent. This kit’s a pretty appealing option for Chaos players too, as you’ll be able to field both Knights inside as Renegades using the rules in Index: Chaos. Handy!

Holy. Wonder how long that stays on sale?

**Kdash**

i really don't know what to do now... Just started a Thousand Sons 40k army a couple of months back, and now i'm looking at these and thinking... I want...!

I wonder if you can get one of the new Knights as a "renegade" along with the Armigers... Might allow me to go with the best of both worlds!

If not, they certainly answer the lack of heavy firepower my Deathwatch idea currently has!

Move away from threats? Orks are cursing that. Only way to get rid of one is get into combat and hack it apart yet it moves away bloody fast. Fun fun fun.

**Cephalobeard**

Terryn blurb validates the rumored rules. Seems good.

**davou**

Oh man, is that a harpoon gun?! What i wouldnt give for a drag mechanic in 40k

**EnTyme**

Can't believe no one is mentioning the Chaos Knight rules being included in Renegade. Hopefully that won't be the only way to get them.

They're in Index Chaos, aren't they?

The article said they’re in the Chaos Index, not the box?

**EnTyme**

Oh, I misread it then.
