Imperial Knights Roundup

[Mr Mystery]

I was up the laundrette today, and decided to get this week's Picture Summoning Sacrifice in nice and earlier, because I like Knights.

For those interested, this week I told a Magpie he was a big girl's blouse, and questioned his parentage.

Three new Knights next week

- Knight Warden
- Knight Crusader
- Knight Gallant

They are only weapon-swaps, not completely new

yeah I know Faeit has a bad rep, but this one does sound believable to me personally. Shame if true about weapon swaps being the only thing different, very boring imo.

Here we go!

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

ah shame, looks like it's teh same chassis for all 5, just different weapon loadouts. Bit boring imo ,but I guess itll be good for IK players to have more than 2 weapon options now. I think FW are doing more interesting things with the knights personally.

[Mr Mystery]

Well, that change things a bit....

I can either

a) do all the car repairs this month
B) go larping (£60 already paid, but involves driving to Nodnol for work so I can head off straight after)
C) take that £60 hit, do some of the repairs, and treat myself to a fourth Knight (primarily for Heresy Games, face fans. Got the two Hybrid Kits because they're ace!)

[Mr Mystery]

Decision made for me!

Car exhaust is gonna be around.....£170 to sort out, and I've got roughly £350ish for the rest of the month....

Which also sadly scuppers LARP, as my car is my tent, and I've got too much kit gubbins to cart about to make the train practical.

Guess it's a fourth Knight pour moi!

[Mr Mystery]

Looks like one new ranged weapon for the arms, one new CCW (fist). And two new carapace weapons.

I am intrigued. I'm wondering if the Paladin kit will be withdrawn now?

[Houghten]

Thought 1: well, this explains that one hole on the Knight carapace.

Thought 2: at last, Knights Errant can be constructed with a fist, as the STC demands.

Depends whether the new stuff is an upgrade sprue or a complete kit that just has a lot of the same pieces. If the former, then we could conceivably stop seeing the existing kit sold without it, yes.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm thinking its an additional sprue. Would be a lot cheaper development wise than a full recut.

I'm hoping that the fist weapon has special rules, rather than just another SD.

I dont know if theyll let us mix and match different things like that sadly, with the sillouihette of that third CC only knight I think theyre going to be tightly controlling rules to match weapons. I assume this will give them ability to release other combos/features as money making dataslates



Mystery on the fist, I would hope so too, though im not sure how much more powerfull or different they could make one from the other, except perhaps making something akin to the opposite of d-scythes: a +1 on the D table.
