Rules For Both Knights in 40k:
Both knights have rules for Warhammer 40k in the latest round of both loyalist and Chaos FAQs that released on July 25th 2019.
Clocking in at base 145, with dual locks topping out at 155, and Veuglaire/claw combo at 150. Both weapons have solid output at either 5 or 6 shots. However, the locks may be the go-to choice as they can score more hits at -2 AP. Sub out the rad cleanser (which slaps close in) for another lock and you have a 12 shot mini-beast at 36″ with no penalties torieo moving and shooting! PEW, PEW!!
They are also available for Chaos as well, at the same points costs.
So tiny yet so powerful, which do you think will be seeing play on tabletops now?
