cadaver2k Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Does anyone have the stats for the volcano cannon and the quake cannon, this is what the new knight are supposed to be armed with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, those quake/volcano rumors are from BOLS. As a reminder, Larry Vela is a bit of a crap shoot. Larry Vela aka Big Red - Total rumors: (165 TRUE) / (348 FALSE) / (20 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE) PENDING Knight Rumors - Apr 2015 via Bird in the Trees Both Knights are coming via a combined combo kit. Plastic kit will be released in the short-term, but the exact week is unknown. The Warden & Crusader will share White Dwarf only rules initially, with inclusion in a codex coming later. The new designs do not share the “turtle shell” carapace, and have a divergent appearance. Both models share an up-armored, brutal appearance compared to the Paladin/Errant model. Both share three weapon hardpoints, 2 arms and a top carapace mount. Both new Knights share a Heavy Support position in a Imperial Knights army list. Expect an Imperial Knights “Decurion” formation to be arriving with the new kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Interesting but this does seem very much like a made up one to me, but what do I know? Basically nothing that's what. 3 hard points with those big of guns? Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbusePuppy Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The original Knights in epic did have variants armed with the Volcano and Quake Cannons, but that means very little when it comes to printing such units in 40K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think that's part of what's going on here. Vela has a tendency to pull together speculation, historical information, etc to make his 'rumors'. It gives him a better chance of being right than a dartboard, but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadaver2k Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 If the thing clocked in around 550pts before upgrades I could fit it in my bike army, a nice big heavy hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I might get one as a Wraithknight killer..but seriously these new Knights sound very powerful and from the rumors could be coming next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time. There's also the possibility it is the rumored HH game. Basically, I'm skeptical of anything that purely comes out of BOLS/Larry Vela.

VonVilkee Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Okay splitting the weapons like that I can see...initial post was prior to coffee and I was picturing then together on one Or doubled up. Seriously tough cookies if those armor values hold out to be true... Yeah epic had those stubby little guys that looked pill bug like that mounted these things... And warden seems to sound right. I might actually buy one to run with my all knight army and in apoc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just total speculation on my part but since they just came out with the Assassins box set/game I think we may be waiting a little while for the HH box set/game, seems too soon for another one.

Sugarlessllama Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I already have three of the plastic Imperial Knights. I suppose adding two more couldn't hurt. It would really depend on what they look like. I'm not a fan of how the FW Knights look, and so if they go that way I might skip them. Which on the plus side would be easier on my wallet. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadaver2k Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm looking forward to the new knight kit, some AA would be great for a knight army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I imagine they would release the full rules either in the White Dwarf, or in the kit (similar to my Glotkin). But considering the major changes to both the allies matrix, detachments, and the D tables presented in the current Imperial Knight codex, I don't think a new codex would be out of the question.

deadwing34 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The latest rumors are that the new kit can will allow you to build all GW Knight types (4-5), which seems kinda crazy to have that many options in one kit. I am excited for some more Knights though, not sure if I will jump in and get another one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just requires one extra sprue, in all likelihood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm definitely grabbing at least one of these. I've really been enjoying lighting up my knights with LEDs. This release will go a long way to legitimizing them as a full army. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
