I love when Rogre’s head pops up from behind the pitch.

"Why is your Kastellan charging?" "FREEEEEEEBLADE!!!!"

This. The Krast Warlord Trait on any big Knight is a guaranteed death machine. The HH tradition is also good, though I agree it's hard to pick any one as the best. They are all good when you take a list to make use of it. I was thinking more about making a Knights list fun for your opponents, and potentially an all Freeblade list would be entertaining. Four mid-size Knights that all have Qualities and Burdens could be an entertaining narrative during the game.

That's Burk's pornhub name.

Hmm, I think the answer is in the codex, not the FAQ, but upon rereading it I find you may be correct in any case. This is the wording from the codex: ...Battle-forged armies that include IMPERIAL KNIGHTS Detachments – that is, any Detachment which includes only IMPERIAL KNIGHTS units. I interpreted this designation as a choice, but it seems fair to interpret it as mandatory. My list was based on a Super-heavy Detachment with 3 Armigers, but this line appears to say that because I only included IK units, it has to be an IK Detachment. Fortunately, I only used 9 CPs during the game. 😎

Fun for me, and I'd need to make my opponents painfully aware of what they are facing in advance. I'm sure they are still viewed as difficult. As for OFCC, I think this list is about as tame as a Knights list can be. There are certainly ways to make it meaner.

This is correct, but not accurate. An Imperial Knights Detachment, which is a Super-heavy Detachment comprised of only Imperial Knights, requires at least 1 Titanic model to get CPs (or rather, avoid having the Command Benefit switch to None). A Super-heavy Detachment only requires 3 Lords of War, which Armigers count for. Using Armigers for this purpose is documented in the codex as an example of a detachment. My list is: -Battle-forged (3 CPs) -Imperial Knights Detachment (3 CPs) with 3 Titanic models (+3 CPs) -Super-heavy Detachment (3 CPs) -Total: 12 CPs

Preface: I play one game of each edition of 40K, always telling myself this will be the start of a glorious age of gaming in the new edition. This is promptly followed by never playing again. Thanks to @DisruptiveConduct (DC) for teaching me the new rules as we played. His patience knows no bounds. Game: 100 PL of my IK vs DC's Genestealer Cult. Hammer & Anvil deployment. Armies: DC took a bunch of bugs and some annoying psychic dudes (triply annoying because Knights have no psychic defense) plus a SHADOWSWORD super-heavy tank. I took this list, assuming it will be a common build with the new codex: Household Tradition: Krast -Imperial Knights Detachment (6 CP + 3 CP for Battle-forged) -Knight Castellan (the shooty Dominus, Warlord Trait: Krast) -Knight Gallant (no guns, 2 weapons version of the Questoris) -Canis Rex (special character Freeblade Preceptor) -Super-heavy Detachment (+3 CP) -3 Armiger Warglaives (taken as units of 1) Game: Turn 1 GCS - GSC moves first using their shady "pop up anywhere" rule. Smite, lucky shooting, and rending claws take down Canis Rex (but not Sir Hehktur) and one of the Armigers. Turn 1 IK - The Castellan takes out the Shadowsword with 1 volcano lance shot and 1 shieldbreaker missile (28 wounds total). The rest of its guns decimate some genestealers. Sir Hehktur and the other Knights shoot up some more bugs then charge and stomp them into the ground with Titanic Feet (not Sir Hehktur). Turn 2 GSC - More psychic power silliness, with the Patriarch using Mind Control on the Castellan to fire ALL of its guns at my Gallant. Fortunately this only results in 5 wounds. Turn 2 IK - The Knights casually stroll out of melee and shooting wipes out swaths of bugs. The remaining roaches are decapitated by chain-reaper sweeps and crushed by Titanic Feet, including the Patriarch and both Magi. Turn 3 GSC - DisruptiveConduct calls the game, his Tervigon still huffing and puffing its way across the board. Result: With Sir Hehktur still alive, Canis Rex does not count as destroyed, so only 1 Armiger was lost during this Roach Motel operation. Post-game: Knights shooting is... insane. Melee isn't shabby either. Though to be fair, take whatever you can to get rerolls so you don't miss. Whatever you hit is going to die, so make the most of each shot. Not sure what to do about psychic powers. Grabbing some cheap IG psykers for defense feels dirty (or rather, puny). Maybe a Culexus Assassin?

No, but Ordo has a killer custom graveyard made from the Hirst Arts blocks and built by yours truly.

Nice season!

I bought stuff with earned credits, and I finished near the bottom.

I'm bringing a Spike roster, and Necromunda in case Frosty has already decided to lose to a draw with someone else.

Anytime, anywhere.

Eat Less, Exercise More.

Jeff, I'm bringing Necromunda and really going to play this time.

I would not pass up this opportunity to sleep on the floor of a posh hotel room.

I'm in with Vasquez and the Eschers.

Confusing...

Hey folks, in case you've missed it, my comic book Kickstarter is into the final week of the campaign. Any additional pledges or social shares are greatly appreciated as we run through these last five days on our way to a stretch goal. Muchas gracias, amigos!
