Big Knight savings are back for 2018! Check out some giant robot action in our new Imperial Knights Renegade Game Box Set review.

Start your plasma reactors and fire up your Reaper Chainblades for today’s unboxing of the new Imperial Knight Renegade box set!

The new Knight game is here, and along with it another great “bundle deal” from Games workshop. Inside you get one Knight Warden and one Paladin plus a galvanic thermalvent terrain to use for the game as well.

Overall you save about 48% off normal MSRP with this bundle, and you get a new datasheet for the Renegade Knight (minus points).

If you’ve been on the fence about picking up some Knight models, it may too hard to resist this deal for sure!

It’s the second generation in as many years, and we are so excited about this cool set. In our review, we compare and contrast the new version to the old.
