New Warcom article on Imperial Knights and their Honor system.

I'm going to be honest, that doesn't seem as good as the favor of the dark gods that Chaos Knights get. The holding objectives one is ok, and synergizes well with secondaries like Stranglehold or the Imperial Knights specific secondary. Extra CP is always nice, and the ObSec thing if you go super high is alright. It seems to imply that there will be other ways to gain Honor other than the Pledge, as getting 5-6 at 1 per turn isn't very exciting.

I don't think this is the equivalent of the favor, this seems like it's the anti-soup rule which is the aura of dreads for CK.

That being said, it also sounds worse than the Auras of dread, since you just pick from 3 categories and the abilities stack overtime.

Yea, but it also applies to the whole army and I imagine there will be a way to add a point here and there. An extra CP every turn until you get army-wide obsec turn 3 or 4 doesn't sound too bad.

You get 2 honor per turn as you pick 2 oaths for your army. Each Oath has bonuses and honors associated with them.

If every unit in your army has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword,* and they’re all from the same Household (or FREEBLADES, who come and go as they please), then when building your army you must swear two different Oaths, chosen from a pool of four.

So basically if you do not dishonor yourself you will reach the army Apex turn 3 and rock on.

That’s one hell of a Minecraft texture.

Well that tells us exactly nothing.

Oh boy. Names.

If you got any pictures of the new codex we'd all love to see them. Besides, you can see some small details if you look closely.

I did miss that you take two Oaths for Imperial Knights. That is much more impactful (on both players) than a single one.

I'm not sure what the point of posting redacted pictures is other than to say you have access to the codex? Congrats?

Let's you get your honor bonus by turn 3 as well, so even better than just two bonuses.

What makes you think I have it and I didn't just find these images

Very true. They also mention there will be other ways to manipulate Honor outside of the Oaths. I could see Warlord Traits, Relics, Stratagems, and perhaps even a House trait giving an extra honor to start or something. I wonder if they will have one that allows you to ignore a Troth (bad part loses honor). There's a lot of design space in this mechanic for sure.

This is the most up to date version.

So average points for wardogs incl weapons is going to be ~160pts and ~440pts for abominant based on the PL.

Any rumors on release date for this?

155, to be specific, at least for most of the dogs. Was in one of the early leaks.

Cool, then pass it on to whoever you stole the images from that they're useless.

Not only useless, the only purpose they could serve is "ner ner look what I got", which is actually worse than keeping it to themselves.

The painters that do preview painting have the box and have had it for awhile, that is where the codex images are coming from.

*Puts on tinfoil hat* Or to drum up hype for a coming release.

These images confirm:

Power level
3 Wardogs per Lord of War Choice
14" move Wardogs
Big Knights still have 24 Wounds and a 3+ save
Big Knights are still around 440 points

"bUt wE kNeW tHaT aLrEaDy"

A screenshot of some text doesn't count

'stealing images from the internet' lmao

Sorry, nobody's gonna be grateful for terrible pictures of stuff that we already knew about Knights.

What have you added to this thread? Nothing lmao

Come back when you have some new leaks or shut up

Have you considered taking your own advice?

I'm currently most interested in what Toughness the big knights have.

those images don't confirm movement of wardogs.

There's one wardog movement value visible and it ain't 14"

Nothing else on there is of real relevance. Wardogs are already 1-3 per choice, nobody expected knights points to change massively nor their power. Literally you pasted some flavour text and the only useful piece is the attacks and saves on the abominant. Even then the save is hardly surprising other than showing it hasn't changed and wasn't expected to. Stop acting like people are beneath you because you found some barely useful pics.

People are thankful for the increase of information, but there actually has to be some information rather than empty posts of showboating how awesome having a book early is.

To whoever took those. Either GW know who you are regardless of the gakky editing, or they don't and won't care. Or they are GW. In any event, covering the relevant info really doesn't help anyone beyond the owner.

I scrolled right past when I saw the MSPaint blocks...
Those were not useful at all

Wardog Karnivore, you can make it out. These also confirm the Wardogs loadouts are different dataslates.

The Abominant one says it only gets 3 attacks as well

But you were all too busy throwing your toys out your prams to notice

The nice thing is that these do indeed confirm the rumors, nothing conflicting here. Even the names (Though it looks like I didn't put them in the leak) are the same.

Small note, that the Karnivore is a Melee knight, so it didn't lose the -2 inch movement. Expect the other Armiger Variants to move 12'
