I keep checking back and checking back for preview articles, but I guess they don’t care to bother.

Mostly I just want some hard confirmation there’s no surprises coming on Armigers and what their autocannons do so I can start building the rest of my forgebane ones.

They are posting the Knightly Traditions for each houses. So far we have Terryn, Raven, and Griffith. No more articles yet though.

Given a full list of the traditions was leaked, we only really needed one for confirmation. That aside, the articles generally came with a lot more relevant info than just the trait itself.

Article with weapons.

Preview article up on the new Dominus variants and some strategems: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/05/29/29th-may-meet-the-dominus-class-knightgw-homepage-post-1/

(EDIT: Too late)

Those maniacs, they actually did it. Missiles that point click delete characters.

Just so everyone is aware even characters with 6 wounds aren’t safe with cp reroll on damage toget a 6 is 30%. 5 wounds is already over 50%. And 4 is just good bye.

The article for the big Knights just popped up. And they look awesome. Either form looks like it will be a beast. I am tempted to go Valiant though. That harpoon is just too cool. Plus the mini Battle Cannon turrets still give him good range.

Neat. The harpoon and flamer variant seems the more useful one at a glance.

I’m curious about whether you can go with three twin cannons or three sets of missiles, or if it’s fixed as a 2/1 arrangement.

Also I know those missiles will be amazing people who want to blow bloody holes in Magnus, but I’d probably lean more towards the cannons for reliable damage across the game.

I like the Harpoon. It's a monstrously evil weapon, but nicely kept in check with the short range.

Missiles are also kept in check with one per turn and the 2CP stratagem for sniping characters is a nice one.

What is interesting about what is previewed so far in this article has all been leaked in the previous days / weeks. It's GW doing potential damage control while at the same time confirming things.

Probably want one of those Knights just to nuke things like Guilliman and Magnus. Two missiles takes out Guilliman most of the time, I imagine. Fire off another one when he gets back up.

Hopefully they update the FW Knights points, they are a tad overcosted as it is now.

Still hoping I can go double Conflagration Cannon. Lol

Yeah, at this point we’re really just looking for points, strats, Freeblade charts and relics. Most everything else has been shown to us, but the confirmations are good to have.

Oh, and they didn’t answer the confusion over whether it’s actually a dual kit, based off the pricing schemes that were leaked.

I mean, I absolutely have a clear favourite but I’d still like to magnetise if that’s at all possible.

Flamer will do a real number on stuff like Jetbikes and Skyfires too. And more-or-less delete Terminators.

The FB guys are saying it's two separate kits because "they each have a lot to cram in their box"

Despite literally the only difference being the guns below the "elbow".

Are they saying if you can go three cannon mount/three missile mount?

Sniping a Kurov's Aquila / Warlord Commander will be nice too. Wonder if it'll encourage Chimeras?

Eh, didn't like the void shield stratagem that much. I thought it was a pre-game one that would make it be a void shield the entire game. Perhaps useful if you like a lot of vehicles (or just buy a single void shield generator terrain); if you like infantry/bikers, the Vexilla Custodes already do this job for the entire game...

Now, the missile is quite good. Buh-bye, Slamguinius! Hehehe

The whole armour panel at the top is also different.

if you look closely the top carapace is different

I am leaning two Siegebreaker Cannons and one set of Siegebreaker Missiles on a Valiant. The cannons allow we me maintain firepower while I am closing in to use the Conflagration Cannon and Thunder oil Harpoon, and the missiles will make for a good way to get at the characters that are hiding. Since you are limited to one missile per turn, it seems like running two racks or even three racks is a waste of time. Your Knight should be able to get at a character by that point.

Point costs are going to be everything here. Quad meltas makes me think this stuff is going to be pretty silly expensive.

They didn't say it, but they didn't didn't say it.

Three hard points is the wording, and the pics show two different load-outs. So, we just need to wait and see if the choice is pre-made for us or not based on the builds.

They already leaked that the Dominus class Knights will by just north of 600 points.

Fair enough. The difference on the Carapace was so small I didn't see it. Meh.

Hmmm, I don;t like that the Dominator shield Strat references "their ion shield" and then gives a 5+ inv. Can this thing not get a 4+?

Don't know if this helps but my local store is advertising the new renegade Knights boxed game at about £150. - 5 million vnd. Take into account stuff out here is about 20% more expensive.

I assume it has 4++ normally - it’s giving everything else a 5++.

The Volcano Lance can inflict 54 wounds in a perfect shot. That's borderline laughable (and I don't think in a "good" way).

Yeah, but about 6 on a minimal shot. Plus even a 6 shots turn is likely to hit 4 times after BS, so basing damage off -potential- means little. I think I’ll stick to harpoon and 4 meltas being enough whilst I flame with the other arm.

You know, if there is some sort of shoot twice strategem, these Knights will be insane.
