GW teased the rules for House Krast recently. Plus we have the Imperial Knights rumored rules and warlord traits for; Terryn, Raven, Griffith, and Vulkner.
The Imperial Knight’s rules were spotted on the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page.
House of Raven Rules
Now reliably hitting on 3s and 4s after advancing is a nice touch when your Knight has something like a Chainsword/Battle cannon loadout. You can soften up the big stuff while you’re running down the table to use that Chainsword.
Everyone knows you can paint your models however you want but for the people that want to follow their Household with the book, here’s the Ravens’ color scheme. They’re donned in red and black with hazard stripes and a split heraldry with a cog and a Mechanicum temple.
Raven warlords with their trait get +1 sv against -1 ap damage.
House Terryn
Rolling 3D6 when charging or 2D6, when advancing and discarding the lowest, is incredible. This is essentially a Descent of Angels stratagem for Blood Angels without any cost of command points. Pus this can happen more than once in a turn.
Painted in blue with a red and white secondary paint scheme, Terryn is the House of swiftness and speed. Favoring Knights that want to get into close combat. The heraldry shows their shield with the imperial eagle and a horse’s head surrounded by wings.
Terryn’s warlord trait is to re-roll failed charges.
House Griffith
How would you like an Imperial Knight Heroic intervening on you? Talk about a deterrent. This Household trait lets them behave as a character in the sense that they can make heroic interventions. On top of this they get +1 attack after a heroic intervention or charge. If you want to keep a model safe, put him underneath a Griffith knight. No one will want to charge them.
Wearing Tan colors with a red and blue secondary paint job, the Griffith heraldry has a Dragon rampant with the Imperial Eagle on the other half. Two axes, wings, and a helmet crest on the top of the shield.
Griffth Warlords if they take their trait deal d3 mortal wounds on the charge to anyone within 1″ on a 4+. IMPACT HIT!
House Vulker
This household has a Captain built in the suit! Letting you reroll 1s with this is very nice so loadout your knights with dakka to get maximum value. The only trade-off is that you can only get the reroll when you shoot at the closest thing. Positioning is key.
Clad with silver and red, this is a Mechanicus based knight. Showing Cogs on both sides of the heraldry, this Knight represents Mars and its’ wonders.
Rolls of 1,2 or 3 always fail to wound a house Vulker Warlord with this trait.
House Krast
You are a close combat beast with this household. Rerolling all failed hits that dare step up to you.
Hailing from the Mechanicus, this knight is a melee tankbuster clad in mainly red. The heraldry of the household is a Mechanicum cog and a Serpent Rampant on a tower.
Krast Warlords with their trait can re-roll all 1’s to hit.
Knight House Rules Rumors
