This time we’ll be focusing on the Household rules, but we’ll also be covering the rest of the rules from the Imperial Knights codex as well.
Imperial Knights Codex Warlord Traits Rules
Gaining a point each turn on a 5+ should net you two extra CP throughout the game, but it’s not the craziest. The 4th one is pretty cool as it adds to your attacks and lets you keep your oaths even if you’re dishonorable. Then treating all your 1’s and 2’s as 3’s will really help you get those charges off!
Imperial Knights Codex: Relics Rules
The chainsword is pretty cool with +7 strength and damage 6! It should cut through anything in one swing. Then, the sweep attack still gives +1 strength and Damage 2, but the main exciting part is the strike attack.
The Bringer of Justice is basically like the one from above but just stronger all around!
Just gaining ObSec is always strong for Knights, then you also start with 1 honor point, so pretty cool!
The Paragon Gauntlet giving x2 Strength and 9 damage is kind of insane as it will basically guarantee a one-shot on anything smaller than it. Not to mention you can ignore Invuln saves on sixes- ooof!
Endless Fury is good if you’re fighting against horde armies as D6+12 shots at S6, -3 AP, and D2. It also looks like one of the best Space Marine destroyers out there. We really like how they kept the relics from the last book, even Cawl’s Wrath!
Imperial Knights Codex: Stratagems Rules!
Linebreaker is pretty cool for 1 CP; You can consolidate 6″ and really keep your opponent in combat. Doing mortal wounds on 6’s is also pretty sweet, but for 4 CP, it is quite pricey.
If you’re a Freeblade army, you get some sweet extra stratagems.

Defiant Fury is a really cool stratagem where you can attack after the model is removed from play, then the rest of the game, you have a better chance actually to hit them!
Survivors of Strife is basically Transhuman for Knights yes please!
Not taking Mortals for Knights is always strong, but it is only on a 5+, so it might not be the most useful overall. However, it is only one CP.
