JackMack posted:Are you implying that lots of people have more than three Knights? Or nearly no one? I can't recall a pic of multiple knights in this thread but I am sure somebody out there would do such a thing. Maybe it is my psychotic love of GW that makes it hard to interpret the layers of sarcasm. I am implying nothing. I am stating that more than a few people have three or more Knights. In fact some lists are nothing but five knights.  No sarcasm, just an honest comment and an underlying feeling of annoyance when players spam nothing but a single "good" unit. I get tournaments are play to win for many people, but I wish more players would play to enjoy. I'll make my snarky comment right here, thank you very much, since this is the bad thread!

Given all of the Forge World options, and including now the new kits from GW, I could never see myself fielding more than one of any type of knight. It just sounds like so much more fun to mix em up.

Finally clearing through some backlog and working on Nurgle Plague Drones, which has gotten me interested in restarting my Nurgle collection. Has anyone worked with the End Times Maggoth WFB kit to create a Great Unclean One? If so, how does it look without a rider and what base did you use?

I just don't like the look of the Glottkin model, honestly. The Maggoth looks more vicious and menacing. I know Nurgle's supposed to be happy-go-lucky but the lopsidedness of the Glottkin along with it's droopyface just makes me dislike it. It's also cheaper, which helps.

People who think Imperial Knights are impossibly OP have never played against competent 40k players. I've had one of my knights since pre-order and never one a game (1v1) with it against our group. I have had Ad Lance for about 7 months and have only played it twice with it wrecking a 30k army, but only barely squeaking by a win against the last Eldar codex due to him not having his HQ 12" from the center objective (that was a 1v1v1). Last night my ad lance got destroyed 11 to 1 by the new Eldar due to volume of fire, angles and d-sythes.

hey im just saying he should watch his models I've been trying to figure out what I can do with my pods. I've done well and like the alpha strike+endurance game they provide (killing 55 marines+pods takes a while) but have been losing to the demonkin dog rush and struggled with a 50 man blob with characters (cypher, priest, sang priest, mephi), and necon decurion (granted that game went to time). I've also played newdar bikes and really didn't have an answer to wraithknights and punching things with tac squads only goes so far. The next event we are going to is allowing 1 CAD 1 ally, and any number of unique detachments/formations and allows CtA. In addition CtA and 3 detachments might become the norm in ITC (depending on the vote ending Friday). A couple lists I've been thinking about : BA/AM/iQ sang priest, vertis veita, pistol 4x 10 man tac marines, melta, combi, heavy flamer 2x 5 man assault marines, 2x melta, combi 1x pod Dante Company command squad, 4 melta platoon command squad 50 man blob priest inquisitor, 3 skulls That winds up at 1840, so I have some points to play with. The blob could turn into conscripts to give me two more 10 mans walking around being in the way. Dante can drop with the assault marines or (more likely) hang out with the blob, depending on deployment. The blob does just kind of be my backfield and hangs out first rank/second ranking things and is fearless, hit and run, stubborn, ATSKNF with a 5+ FNP and basically be 50 wounds for Dante. This list has a lot of anti infantry punch but would struggle to remove pods in my backfield unless I drop back on my own lines, which would be annoying, My second idea uses demons and summons up a backfield while the pods and marines do a glorious intervention on an inquisitor's science experiment gone wrong. sang priest, vertis veita, pistol, jump pack 4x 10 man tac marines, melta, combi, heavy flamer 3x 5 man assault marines, 2x melta, combi Dante Great unclean one, exalted, greater, ML3 nurglings inquisitor, 3 skulls The unlcean one goes for summoning, grabs the portalglyph and has gets a survivable gift (FNP, reroll invuls, +1wound and IWND, 3+ armor) or an instant death sword, depending on what is needed and stands on an objective spewing out demons with a 2+ cover save and T7 6W while the pods come down on my opponents side of the table. In this build the priest and dante are batman and robin, jumping from squad to squad dealing with issues (and getting 5 more wounds per squad they hang out with). I like this because the great unclean one can smash pods and is a nasty backfield threat that is hard to remove (come on over with drop dudes or a monstrous creature, it won't end well). I also want to put skitari in pods and rad/haywire stuff down but that is actually kind of expensive, and I don't own any of the models so :effort) Stanyer89 posted:People who think Imperial Knights are impossibly OP have never played against competent 40k players.

They are all LoW in the new book which solves a lot of issues in the ITC and NOVA circuits though. Naramyth fucked around with this message at 17:11 on May 7, 2015 |

I randomly got this codex two summers ago, when I got a huge pile of 40K for free off Craigslist. Omar al-Bishie posted:this is my favorite 40k image. always loved the kasrkin, a shame the metal model is out of print. it seems stormtroopers have their own codex now as Militarum Tempestus? Is it any good? Elite non-marine troops always appealed to me. And this one made me pick Imperial Guard when I started playing again two summers ago. This thread turned good again. Please continue posting cool things.

I finally opened up the Shadowsword I've got (I've got an Armorcast one too, but that's for another time) and I think this is one of the earlier CAD designed GW models. The detail's kinda soft compared to the more recent stuff, but it still looks pretty drat cool. Gonna name it the Czar and run it with my Valhallans

5 Knights isn't really a min-maxed army. It's never done well. The only people who I see run it are people who genuinely really like Knights as a concept.

My buddy has like 8 or 9 knights, maybe more. All of the FW variants included in that. The old Riptide with Broadsides formation never really made sense to me. Why would Broadsides be paired with a Riptide and not Crisis Suits? Two units of Crisis Suits with a Riptide and an HQ would be sweet though.

Like that, it 'aint bad. Ad Lance? Those can gently caress the faces out of lots of different armies, depending on what else you bring. A good player with the right army or list can beat it, sure, but you loose to eldar because Hixson is a top notch player and his army has one of the best books in the last decade. If you bring 3 knights to a friendly game without telling the people ahead of time you're a giant rear end in a top hat.

Seeing all these knights makes me want to build Orky walkers and show them how it should be. All those Knights with close to identical poses. So boring to look at. GW should invest in giving them a more dynamic pose.

GW should invest in giving them a more dynamic pose. One of my only disappointments with the kit is the static pose the legs come in. Sure, you can saw a bunch of pieces in half and swap them around, but it just seems silly to have them made that way in the first place, when making it so that you could position the legs wouldn't have been that difficult.

Considering how poseable all the big Eldar kits are, it's pretty criminal that the Knights are so static. I guess when they brought back plastic Knights from Epic, they decided to bring the poses along too. When there's just one it's fine, but once you get a couple going it looks real samey.

So, I decided to assemble my bikes, because I figure whatever changes come out of the new SM release it won't really effect them to much since I am going to magnetize the rider anyway. Easily the easiest model I have had to assemble yet aside from perhaps a single tactical. Why can't other poo poo be so straightforward?
