So, have a question for you all, I'm actively trying to make a 3 Big and 4 Little list work atm and I'm just looking for thoughts on our little guys!

What do you think our current Armiger's could use for some help points wise, or maybe something with abilities or weapon stats? I don't think we'll be getting a new class of Ar.iger anytime soon so let's keep it realistic about the changes to our two special boys (we don't talk about the Admech adopted one)

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.

Ignore the scion on the ground he's taking a nap

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?

I am making a knights list i really want to do triple lance and I really like the navigator model. The list doesnt have any enhancements. Is this list viable should i drop an admirer for enhancements anyone have advice

Started painting knights for my local escalation league, can't play sisters again so why not knight sisters 😅

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.

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?

Hey guys I have an upcoming tournament that I'm hosting with 12ish people and I'm trying to figure a list to play and how, I don't have any of the cerastus knights. I was wondering if I can make a decent list with what I got

Knight Castellan

Knight Crusader

Knight Defender

Knight Destrier(magnetized)

Knight Gallant

Questoris Knight Magaera

Inquisitor Coteaz

Inquisitor Kroyle

Navigator

Vindicare Assassin

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!

The rules are simple: What are the best things about the Detachment in question and what are the worst things about it?

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

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

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

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?

been trying to learn to play knights lately, been having some success agaisnt "normal" armies, but armies that jusst remain hidden turn 1, and advance and charge turn 2 and wipe my board turn 2 are beginning to get under my nerves lmao, can anyone gimme some advice against that

So ive been playing Knights with my friends on TTS while we paint our armies. I think ive been misplaying Code Chivalric the whole time. I tried looking up the 10th edition wording and its written like a drunk uncle and really didnt help me understand it. Can anyone put it in super layman's terms for me?

My nmm destrier is finally complete!

I bought this guy in April and have built and painted 2 other big knights and 2 armigers before finishing this guy. I don't know why building the knight destrier was such a slog. But it's finished!

The base was a joy to build and honestly i had a lovely time painting this thing too. The arms are magnetized and so is the head.

It's a little difficult to tell with my lighting but the non gold nmm parts have a rust effect in the recesses.

CC welcome and encouraged!

I haven't played a bunch of warhammer but I just got the eye of terror battalion box and am excited to build, paint and play them, probably gonna be getting a questoris alongside the 2 armigers and dominus

I recently picked up knights as my second army and all was going well until the lion rushed in and melted half my army in two turns, doing like 25 damage per round.

I'm playing freeblades and there's no stratagem to fallback and still shoot, but now I am thinking fleeing for my life would've been the right call.

Should I just abandon anywhere near him? since he can do the uppy downy it's hard to really flee from him. I've since equipped my errant with Sanctuary for the 5++ in addition to my lancer with the 4++ but what do I do about him?

Do I fall back and try and pound him into dust with concentrated fire? Do I completely cede the midboard? Do I just lose and let my wife have her fun?

Tips appreciated!

Hey all! Not too long ago I grabbed a Questoris for fun in my BT list and I magnetized it. But now I am left wondering what each knight excels at. There are so many choices most with different loadout options too so it's a little overwhelming figuring it all out. Any help would be appreciated!

Sadly I am currently not able to read the prequel short story to Throne Questoris, but I have read generally mixed reviews and would like to share my thoughts.

From what I have read, the progressive nature is just a part and not the whole point of the story. If that is the case, I don't see it as a bad sign in terms of quality. (It is sad that it has come to a point where I have to make this an extra point.)

I do need to address, however, that the usage of "king" by a woman is stupid, not only because it is a male title IRL but also because, in-universe, queens or high queens hold just as much power as kings and high kings when it comes to your average knight house; there is really no reason why a woman would use "king" but because the author wanted to shoe-horn a personal point in.

As for the "they/them" pronoun, I think it is plausible. In 40k race- and sexism, as well as basically all other kinds of bigotry, are effectively nonexistent when it comes to humanity's attitude towards other pure humans due to greater problems on the outside and the fact that they have different prejudices and bigotry, so what we call trans or queer today would most likely not even have a proper distinctive name in 40k. The reason you don't see guardsmen exploring their sexuality and gender identity is that they are too busy fighting a 2-meter-tall screaming mushroom to care about such things.
Nobles, on the other hand, have much more privacy and free time to venture into such things. Knights are a very busy nobility, yes, but they still have much more spare time than any commoner. So for a scion to explore their own identity in the face of a relatively more bigoted area of the imperium (feudal worlds) could be interesting, if not for a single problem:

We don't have space for this. (right now)
It is a simple and sad truth that our faction is always starving for content, normally we simply use this ignorance from GW's side to create homebrew lore and explore what little we have in terms of stories in an almost archaeological fashion. Looking for people who know the ancient information of old codices, who can tell you what the fuck the decals on the transfer sheet mean, and who can tell you how heraldry works.
But now, it is a special time; we get a new book, something big, a whole-ass book just for our big stompy robots. We haven't gotten a new book that is really for OUR faction since 2018; it will be a new entry point to our faction for newcomers. So this needs to be a good book. It needs to represent our faction in its full scale, and a story about self-exploration of a scion in a nearly depleted house is not what our faction needs right now. We need something with the writing of Kingmaker and the scale of Kings- and Knightsblade.
Now I am not saying you can't have both, and a good writer can definitely pull both off in the same book, but I still think that it could be an unnecessary gamble.

I know the block above sounds like I think this book will make or break our faction, so I just want to clarify: I love the way our faction's community is right now, not big but tightly knit; the sub is healthy and a welcoming space for new people, and I really enjoy seeing what folks come up with for kit-bashing, homebrew lore, and army lists.

I don't think that throne questoris is a last straw for the faction, but it is still a big opportunity for our knights. If the book is a banger that attracts a significant number of new people to our faction, we will get more books, and more people will pick up knights on the tabletop, and then maybe our army will get the rework it needs. For GW, it is all about the money after all.

Anyway, these are my thoughts on the new book based on the reviews I read of the prequel short story. If you have different opinions or points to add, I'd like to hear them, and thanks for reading my long-ass ramble of personal opinions.

Edit:

Guys, I would like to ask to make actual points in the comments and to not just say "fuck you". In terms of there being female rulers that use "King" in history, I did not know that, and I admit, I was wrong, and the point of Knight House complexity is also true. I have to give that point up.
I also apparently have to separately state something: I do not care about anybody's personal identity, sexuality, or any other part they themselves cannot change.
I explicitly said that as long as the parts of the story one might call "progressive" are just part of the story and not the whole point of the story, I do not see it as an indicator for quality.
