<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Knights and Deep Strike"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Knights and Deep Strike My question: can a knight deep-strike? If so, how?
If not, how do they appear out of reserves? (I know you roll dice, but what would the narrative be?)

So far the results I get are "you can deep strike near a knight cyz they're big but killable..." duh dude.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9276334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9276334.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike 2.

Outside of a special scenario, no, they can't.
As to how they come on from reserves, they walk on from your table edge (or a randomly rolled side edge if you got the outflank trait from the Knight table) - The Narrative being that they just finished killing some other chumps elsewhere or that they just finished powering up and wandered out of their hanger/dropship/fortress and started firing. There are relatively few scenarios where you actually want your IK in reserve however, so I wouldn't expect it to come up that often, much the same way that I can't quite fathom why you'd want one to deepstrike.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9278070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9278070.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike
Their transport ships would be vulnerable to being shot down(and losing the knight along with it), and the knight is likely vulnerable while its being unloaded. So dropping straight into a hot landing zone is not a smart idea. So they're not going to perform an "amphibious" assault with Knights. They'll follow along after a beachhead has been established by the real assault troops. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9278130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9278130.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike

Fluffwise, Knights deploy with specially built drop ships from orbital transport(just like Titans). As for why they wouldn't deep strike this way,

in the mobile game Freeblade, The Knight you paly that tags along with the Dark Angles gets Transported in the Vehicle transport Variant Thunderhawk.

But really there is no reason not to have your Knight no the board T1]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9278134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9278134.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9279071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9279071.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike 40k carries two Rhino-chassis tanks or one Land Raider trying to make it haul a Knight seems like a bit of a stretch...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9279228.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9279228.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9279455.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9279455.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike
Still means they walk on from the edge.

roughly 0:50 the big knight plummets from the sky in a giant fire ball.

Go figure. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280288.page GMT Re:Knights and Deep Strike

Strangely, the Knight from Dawn of War 3 seems to Deep Strike into combat at least in one of the trailers.

Go figure.


But as I said before in another game they have Thunderhawks dropping off knights (where the scale wouldn't work)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280291.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280300.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280300.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike

At least until they release the rules and model for that pod. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280302.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike

Well technically speaking an emperor titan also arrives via drop pod as well. I want rules for that. Every flyer takes a grounding test, every non skimmer must roll as if they failed a dangerous terrain check, and all models must act is if they went to ground even if they have rules that state they cant for the next turn. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9280309.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike

I think the falling from the sky thing is great but I'll stick to doing so at the edge of the table the way reserves enter.
So far this has been a helpful insight. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9296523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9296523.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike -Skitarii Codex, Crucibles of War, under Lucius.

Knights are smaller than titans, so maybe you can make an argument that they might be more easily teleported into battle?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9297028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9297028.page GMT Knights and Deep Strike
The Legio Astorum titans have likely had modifications built into their designs that facilitate teleportation, so you'd have to have specifically modified Knights to do that. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9297138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/721859/9297138.page GMT
