Hide your hobby wallet! Huge rumors today reveal the four new Imperial Knight kits that may be on the way for 8th Edition Codex. Come see the latest!
We’ve heard an awful lot recently about the new Imperial Knight codex, and Games Workshop even has teased us with some images of the Castellan Knight.
More exciting rumors were spotted today that may get see more of these Imperial Knight models hitting tables in 8th edition.
Imperial Knights 2018 Release
We already know there are GIANT FREAKING ROBOTS on the way with their very own codex from the announcement at Adepticon this year.
Knight Castellan
Rumors:
Recently we heard that there may be ten Knight datasheets, one special character, and one terrain piece on the way in the new Imperial Knight Codex, and what the fate of Freeblades and Chaos Knights may as well.
Scanner is back today with a laundry list of what may be on the way release-wise for the Imperial Knights in 8th Edition:
4 new Knight kits coming!!! Terrain, Armiger (makes 2 diff versions), Knight Preceptor / Special Character (with full cockpit & pilot figure), Valiant / Castellan.
If this pans out to be true that’s a pretty HUGE lineup of new releases for a codex previously only had a handful of datasheets. Perhaps the combination of Mechanicus and Questor rules will be enough to fill a normal sized 8th edition codex, and four new releases wouldn’t hurt either.
Plus who hasn’t thought about converting up a full cockpit for their plastic Knight? How cool would it be to have a kit that already had it, and comes with a pilot figure too?
Existing Knight Lineup:
Still no “official” word on the release date for Imperial Knights, however, the releases for the end of the month are still shrouded in mystery as Games Workshop likes to tease the end of month releases around the middle of the month when all the White Dwarf hype dies down.
All in all, we’re getting really excited to see everything Games Workshop has in store for the Imperial Knight Codex, and we’ll be putting out more codex confirmations as soon as we get them!
Are you looking forward to the upcoming Imperial Knight Codex, and some GIANT FREAKING ROBOTS?
