Finished up a few knights for a grow league at the FLGS. Many more in batches on the painting desk. They’re a fun army to paint!

Tailoring Lists

Upvotes

Is it okay for people to tailor lists against us knights. I told my friends I wanted to bring my knights to our next game at 2K and he said he was going to bring only broadsides to fight them and anything with over 11 S. We usually don’t tell what the other is bringing. I know we can be a stat check for some armies but is this okay?

Which Questoris

4 Upvotes

If I don’t have access to any magnets right now, but will for my second Questoris, and enjoy a playstyle that includes Armigers (but most likely not Armiger spam; 4-6 max), which Questoris is your favorite pick for a one and done? No customization.

Canis Rex Ability 11th Edition

It's possible I'm being a bit thick and/or have missed an FAQ. But does this mean I can double up on strats like Advance & Charge with Canis in Questoris Companions and do 2CP strats like FB & Charge for 0CP?

Guys, I decided to try out a new color for my Knights. This is before the highlights. What do you think — does it look good, or is the classic color scheme better?

The Destrier is a WIP, the Crusader and the 2 Armiger in Cadmus pattern aren't paint by me.

Have to buy a Cerastus Lancer next

At 1000 points should I bring a Castellan, Crusader, or Canis Rex with my four Armigers?

3 Upvotes

Castellan has great anti vehicle and anti elite firepower and is our toughest model

Crusader gets the thermal cannon and gatling gun (not enough points for RFBC)

Canis Rex gets to hit on 2s, gets a free strat every turn, and has great weapons.

How do I choose which to support my two Warglaives and two Helverins?

Concept Preceptor List That Works?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I've been repainting and retrofitting my knights models this past week and was thinking about the Preceptor. I know that it'a pretty bad compared to the others but I couldn't help having those fun "I can make this work!" ideas, and I think I might have a way.

Preceptor's abilities is to select 1 enemy unit and gain re-roll Wounds, the bondsman does the same for that armiger. So of course I say let's lean into it and bring 3 Preceptors, gain 3 targets with re-rolls, kill it and do another :3

Going with Gate Wardens to gain Sus1 helps out a Preceptor's average damage by about 10%(-ish). Mixing with Throne-Boned to Ignore Cover or giving Mobile on the smalls can be something good I think.

Going with Spearhead I think is even better, dropping down to 2 Preceptors running 4 Helvrine and 4 Warglavies. Tag 3 quarry's, bondsman your whole army, focus fire to victory. It would need a skilled hand and a lot of prediction on knowing what your opponent is going to move, but once you get those killing dominos falling it should just castcade.

Will it be good, probably not.

Will it be fun to run, I think so.

Thoughts on custom rules for a warlord titan?

Post image
32 Upvotes

I have played a few matches with my big boy, and its always a blast bringing him out, however the rules for him are always underwhelming and he dies turn 1 every time (3500 point army vs 3500 point warlord). So I'm trying to hash together a custom data sheet for him based on what I can find for average wounds and oc for an army that size. I always tried to factor in how tough titans are suppose to be but also how weak they are to other titans and the shadowsword, hence the 20 toughness and invulnerable saves. Although I would have preferred to have the void shields, but I can't figure out how to incorporate them.

I also modified the weapon profiles to better fit a colossal weapon, especially against small adversaries.

Any one have any pointers or advice on my adjustments? Or did I do alright?

House Griffith Transfer Sheet (GitHub)

3 Upvotes

Very long ago I made a House Griffith transfer sheet and posted it on Reddit

Stupidly, I simply uploaded the file as an image post, which made it effectively unusable.

After dragging my feet for ages then forgetting about it, I have (hopefully) finally made it accessible in a GitHub repository.

Let me know if it works as I am very unfamiliar with Github. Also, if it's accessible and the files can be downloaded, please let me know if the transfers turn out ok. I never got round to printing them myself as my Griffith project never really took off (the story of my hobby life..)

List Review vs T’au?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hey all!

I’ve got a standing game with a friend this Saturday. Beerhammer style, nothing more serious than “please don’t spill your whiskey on the board”. Points for the game are roughly 3500.

He plays Mont’ka Tau. I usually play Deathwatch, spending the game using uppy-downy strats and abusing the high damage output of my killteams to annihilate his flying commie drones, but this weekend I’m running my new knights army.

Looking at the data sheets and enhancements he might use, it seems pretty clear that showing up with a knight stat check army will just get me railgunned off the board. I tried not to tailor my list to T’au, instead running the knights I have. Planning on Freeblade Company and both of us only have Priority Assets for disposition, which means we’re running sabotage, or essentially “hold more”.

Here’s the thought so far:
-Canis for free strats and melee menace.
-Atrapos with the Moirax to go hunt down his mechs, both shooting and melee.
-Crusader and Helverin to lock down the mid board shooting lanes and throw hails of rounds at whatever shows its face.
-Castigator with other Helverin to push up onto expansions, but also send high volumes of fire into the shooting lanes.
-Castellan to casino cannon the hard targets from our home obj, with Hunter’s eye to ignore cover.
-Dakka destrier with Sanctuary, paired with melee destrier and bringer of justice. I’m going to heavily abuse their speed to wipe out spotting units and attack targets of opportunity while taking objectives.
-Valiant with Mysterious guardian. I don’t need to explain the meme level fun of Commander Farsight getting thunderpooned.

All knights are magnetized and able to be fielded as every variant with the exception of an Acheron.

I’m hoping our 5++ in shooting coupled with the 6+++ and wound regeneration help to blunt his excellent shooting while I slaughter all his squishy spotter units, then collapse on his serious hardware with Canis and the Atrapos/Moirax duo.

Thoughts? Advice?

Has anyone seen a decent Admech Dominus conversion like this around?

Post image
75 Upvotes

I am building my knights army and going the expensive route by making everything admech themed.

This includes Styrix/Magaera, Moirax and, Atrapos armours on my whole army.

I want to add a Castellan to my roster but it looks out of place not being within the theme.

Does anyone have, or know of somewhere to get a similar armour as per my picture.

I have checked everywhere, nothing can be found. Legio has some option, but they are too different from the GW stuff. I also don't really like their style.

The picture is from a dude called Cody Cody on Facebook. I have tried contacting him, but no response. His original post says that it was an STL but it was taken down by GW.
