Custom Transfers?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I've got a sizeable Knights army (about 3,000 points) but haven't done any transfers because I've not wanted to use the codex-specific houses. I've been cooking up some design ideas, but would really like someone who understands the lore and can produce transfers to help out.

I found a company a while back and was talking to the dude, but I didn't have clarity on what I wanted just yet...and now I've lost the contact.

Any suggestions on companies that make transfers and will work with you on design?

Die ist mein letzter Beitrag weil 1. 50% der Kommentare mich für Benutzung des eisern Kreuz lynchen wollen obwohl es im Imperium ganz viel benutzt wird. 2. Das obwohl ich gesagt habe das meine ersten warhammer Modelle sind und ich mich erst mit Farbe und der Bemalung vertraut machen muss, das viel meine malkünste verstotten. 3. Die Menge an n@zi Kommentare/dm weil ich mein imperial knight wie ein Ritterorden bemalt und deutsche Symbole benutzt habe ist echt zu viel

Still have 2 armigers, 1 destrier, 1 castellan and 1 questoris to do.

Wanted to go for an astra affiliated knight house.

Here one with cadian scheme and another with more of a krieg scheme.

What do you think I did right and what should I work on?

Hello knight people!

I have painted a couple of these awesome armigers as allied support for my 1k pt imperial guard army, having my first ever battle tomorrow and honestly I just bought these to add some much needed colour to my otherwise green army that I never planned to play but just collect and paint.

I was wondering if anyone here has used knights in a Cadian army before and can give me any pointers or tips of how best to use them.

Thanks guys

Custodes... again...

Im changing detatchment from freeblade company to dominus foebreakers and valourstrike lance. Im also not sure about keeping the warden but i mainly use it for anti horde or light/medium infantry like marines or gants since im going to a tournament in february im practicing against custodes since thats one of our lowest win rates at the moment. So im unsure if i should swap out the warden for an errant since ive heard errants are great into custodes

Armiger Moirax finished result

37 Upvotes

Finally finished painting my Moirax in the standard olive green, orange, and white of my knight house, with the pauldrons painted red to show allegiance to Mars.

The lore for this armiger is that it's on lend from the Adeptus Mechanicus as an apology to my knight house after having to perform emergency sanctified modifications to the Knight Warden (aka ripping its arm off with pliers and turning it from a Preceptor into a Warden) and being piloted by a Sacristan.

Thoughts?

Competitive starter recommendations

2 Upvotes

I've just started up with a hyper competitive group with a range of factions. They play duos in 800 and 1000 pts each formats.

What models/detachments/tactics would people recommend specifically with a competitive lense.

I've consistently since 5th (mostly IG and Tau) but looking to play Knights because they play obscenely slowly (8 hour games) and I want to help speed it up.

Imperial Agents GK Terminator Squad, New and Improved and Worth It?

8 Upvotes

Hey all, has anyone given thought to whether bringing in a GK Terminator Squad now, with the improved Toughness and Storm Bolters, is worth the 190pts now. I know they can't do the UppyDown, but still access to a tough distraction unit that can also take out some targets with new bolters, and lethal hits means a lot more these days.

The argument I guess is whether they are worth paying 50pts over an Armiger body, or 70pts less than a Destrier body for the options that they give us Knights that aren't really available elsewhere.

Long-time listener, first-time caller! New Imperial Knights player looking for advice (and yes, I'm running 5 big Knights)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. I'm relatively new to actually playing 40k and have decided to jump into Imperial Knights because, well, giant stompy robots are awesome.

I've been building up my collection and putting together a few lists, but I'm still learning how to actually play the army effectively. I'm mostly going to be playing casual games with friends, but obviously I'd still like to win a few!

Here's my current collection:

1x Cerastus Knight Lancer

2x Cerastus Knight Castigator

1x Cerastus Knight Acheron

1x Knight Defender

1x Knight Gallant

1x Knight Paladin

3x Armiger Helverins

6x Armiger Warglaives

Here's the list I'm currently wanting to run:

"Size Does Matter" — 1,985 points

Imperial Knights

Freeblade Company (3 Detachment Points)

Purge the Foe — Strike Force (2,000 points)

Cerastus Knight Castigator — 380 pts

Castigator bolt cannon

Tempest warblade

Cerastus Knight Lancer — 445 pts

Cerastus shock lance

Enhancement: Bringer of Justice

Knight Defender — 410 pts (Warlord)

Conversion beam obliterator

Phosphor blaster

Plasma executor

Twin incendine combustor

Enhancement: Hunter's Eye

Knight Gallant — 375 pts

Reaper chainsword

Thunderstrike gauntlet

Enhancement: Sanctuary

Knight Paladin — 375 pts

Rapid-fire battle cannon

Reaper chainsword

Total: 1,985/2,000 points

Now, before everyone tells me to bring more Armigers, I know! 😂

I'm fully aware that running five big Knights probably isn't the most competitive way to play. But there's just something hilarious about putting five massive Knights on the table and telling my opponent to deal with it.

That said, I would still like to make the list as effective as possible.

A few things I'd love some advice on:

How would you approach playing a five-big-Knight list? Any particular deployment or positioning tips?

What are some common mistakes new Knights players make that I should avoid?

How do you handle objectives and scoring when you have so few models?

Are there any changes you'd make to my list using the models I already own?

If I wanted to put together a more balanced or competitive 2,000-point list from my collection, what would you recommend?

I'll primarily be playing against Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Tyranids, and World Eaters, along with whatever else my friends decide to throw at me.

I'm not looking to win tournaments or anything. I just want to have fun, get better at the game, and occasionally watch a giant robot absolutely flatten something.

Any tips, tricks, strategies, or general advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, and praise the Omnissiah!
