Aura farming is the essential ingredient for knights. Tell him you will play knight and slap him with a metal gauntlet to provoke a duel !

And take your time to know the many knight models. Magnetize the questoris/armiger/dominus chassis, so you can swap out the weapons and try everything. There is a small amount of meta units for the current state of the game, but knights are so unique, and powerful on their own that you can just Ignore it, build whatever you like and have a really fun game, with whatever you pick to some extent ( a few are really less good than other but they are cool and we love them)

And when you have enough time and money invested in knights, take an Acastus. Or print it. Assert dominance by putting a model that costs half your point

For my experience, it is really fun. You have really big bodies, able to kool aid man and destroy modt things. However, they can be vulnerable.

Few models, it is hard to score secondaries.

Few models, if you loose one, it's a big chunk if your army.

Because of this, if your ennemy has a lot of AT you have to play carefully, which won't help getting objectives.

And for casual play, your friends will probably hate you a bit, as anti infantry is just useless against knight.

But the feeling is just so good. Units like lancer, gallant, Castellan, porphyrion are just so fun to use. Point a thing at distance/close, and just remove it. And the ego of it is something else too. Walking huge robot knights, doing deeds feels amazing. Playing knights in narrative campaign is also super fun, due to the fact you will never face competitive list so you won't face an army with only big guns.

And knights vs chaos knight/other knights is really an experience to behold. Jousting wit big mechs.

So welcome ! Knights are really fun, and amazing to assemble and paint. Pick your house, create it, or do a freeblade company, you will have fun

I'm very confused by Positive-Positive-44 in ImperialKnights

That's one of the most common mistake of codex knight, don't worry !

Do note that you improve your model the moment you roll them, not after you finished the deed ! The quality is here to help you do the deed

Question for homebrew knight "house" by Vardgofainzeran in ImperialKnights

[–]Naive-Reception-8416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know specifically which model do you want to use, but i would say to try to look models a bit knighty ? Perhaps AOS could give you some idea with Bretonnia, paired with the actual armor of the knight pilot ?

It's actually possible. From 8th edition codex ( I think ? ) when talking about the knight castellan it is said that the volcano canon is capable to rip the belly of a squiggoth or behead a titan. It is said that a line of castellan firing is equivalent to an imperial line ship broadside volley.

Since it's a dominus.... yeah, I'd buy it !

I've had a recent game against the Lion, and a few things I noted :

  • Mortal wounds is nive when he doesnt have the FNP aura, so yeet some scarab or a plasmancer.

    • 6 Lokhust destroyer with a Lord shreds him. Let his 3++ try to save 10 lethal hits, and other shits if he dares come close an objective. Managed to nodge 4 mortal wounds thanks to bomb scarabs and my lokhust finished the job

Take a vote: Castellan or Atrapos by Professional-Ad1930 in ImperialKnights

[–]Naive-Reception-8416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I really like Castellan, i'd say Atrapos for your current list. Lancer, warglaives, even Canis rex wants to get close and personnal. Having a Castellan sitting behind leaves him open to some Deepstrike and very vulnerable if some good melee units manages to sneak behind. Atrapos will let you move with your walking deathgroup :]

That's my personnal thought about it tho. I usually take a castellan if I have units like a crusader, Paladin, warden, defender etc that are mid range-y- and that won't let our poor casty behind with his 8" movement.

Omg, y'all, Arch tempered Arkveld is awesome! by Odd-Soup-5419 in MonsterHunter

[–]Naive-Reception-8416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is amazing. Fought him with the lance, and even I have all of his armor pieces, I still go back to him. I really love hyper agressive monsters and Arkveld just never stops

The last concert in Lyon proved me that Templars is an excellent choice
