You neglect to mention how bad they are in smaller games, like 1K. Not everyone plays 2K all the time!
This might be a good time for me to ask for help to settle a debate with a knight player regarding ruins and line of sight.
The knight player thinks that when they touch their model against the outside of the ruin wall they no longer need to draw line of sight to models/units hiding behind/outside of that ruin, regardless if there is another solid wall inbetween the two units. Picture a ruin with three or four walls, two of which are between the two units.
My belief is that when the knight touches the ruin they can now ignore obscuring but still need to be able to see the unit they are trying to target.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated as it's been a hot topic for the past few days in my play group.
I don’t think knights can fallback and shoot?
Well let me tell you about this new army that passes out judgment tokens. When any model has 3 of them on it they take a wound on a 4+ hit. Doesn't matter how much toughness you have. Add in this army has no armour of contempt the bikes of said army can dish out enough to take out your big boy 18+ wounds in a go.
Well this is conveniently timed. I literally just picked up a Knight for my collection.
Haven't watched the video yet as of writing this, but personally I'd like for a way to make pure big knight list of interesting synergies. Maybe the bondsman ability can be given to the knight itself but give a lesser buff?
My own headcanon is that the bigger the titan the deeper the voice of the Princeps piloting it. Command & Conquer logic.
"redeemer redeeming…"
I dont want to play against an army of only superheavies. We have tried it and decided that 5 wraithknights being meta was toxic for the game. These types of lists were stopped for a reason. It is a game of armies.
You cannot put relics to Cerastus knights lol
Seems a bit weird that the biggest and most expensive plastic set (Dominus) is also not worth taking. I guess that's good if you haven't bought one already but too bad if you own one
Super-Heavy Walker gives fall back and charge, but not fall back and shoot 😮
May I know which part Super Heavy Walkers allow titanic unit to fall back and shoot ? i might misread it coz i cant find it, thanks
Could anyone be so nice and elaborate if and why an arminger detachment keep their special rules when I add one to my marine army ? Would be awesome.
Taking an Inquisitor does not block out faction Secondaries
I wish there was a channel like this for SAGA II
Love your introductions.
For those wondering, all Titanic models can natively fall back and shoot (and use psychic powers if they have them).
Still wish Knights had more characters.
For me it is just such a shame that as a knight player I feel so disincentivised to bring big knights. I feel like I have to run armigers to have any chance and that's not why I play/collect Kinghts.
Please note that feeblade list should have only 1 Moirax with siege claws.
I still want to get into thr big Knights, but figuring out a list and a paint scheme makes me rather apprehensive about the whole thing.
In the "Allies" section, you could have pointed out the only synergy with Ad Mech this days:
Metalica – Requisition Stratagem (1CP)
The legions of Metalica have a long-standing alliance with the Knights of House Raven, and the two have fought beside each other on countless occasions.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army. Select one HOUSE RAVEN unit from your army. That unit gains the Canticles of the Omnissiah ability and is considered to have the ADEPTUS MECHANICUS keyword for the purposes of this ability (the inclusion of this unit in your army does not prevent ADEPTUS MECHANICUS units in your army from using any rules that require every model in your army to have the ADEPTUS MECHANICUS keyword).
Personally I don't like it that it is only limited to Metalica and House Raven (though this adds to the fluff of them).
I want an overview like this for Votann
I'm new to the hobby and you've been really helpful in helping me pick which armies I want to start for my first two. I've wanted to do Knights since I learned about them because giant robots are cool, so this is very helpful. Thanks!
dont think you csn use your auto 6 for the mortal strat.
Knights are an army I just could not care less about. I get some elite armies exist but it's like they're just playing a different game. I think making them an entire army of their own was a mistake at the 40k scale/level. That being said just commenting and liking for the algorithm.
