The Knights will walk again, Come see the new Titans preview pictures!
Today we got a peak at the rumored new Knight Titan release. Checkout the pictures below for what looks to be three new variants of Knight, some with what looks to be existing Knight weapons, and some with new bits.
Knight Gallant?
Knight Castellan?
Knight Crusader?
The basic shape of the Knight models appears to be unchanged from the current plastic kit.
Via Games Workshop
Household brothers, sons and kinsmen, hear my summons. Today we arm ourselves for war. With chainsword and gauntlet we will pulverise them. With cannon and missile we will obliterate them. With armoured feet we will crush their fallen bodies into the dirt.
Do you wish to be named among the honoured?
We’ve been putting together all the pieces, over the last week, here’s the wrap up, and what may be the smoking gun for a Knight Release next week…

- Plastic kit will be released in the short-term, but the exact week is unknown.
- The Warden & Crusader will share White Dwarf only rules initially, with inclusion in a codex coming later.
- The new designs do not share the “turtle shell” carapace, and have a divergent appearance.
- Both models share an up-armored, brutal appearance compared to the Paladin/Errant model.
- Both share three weapon hardpoints, 2 arms and a top carapace mount.
- Both new Knights share a Heavy Support position in a Imperial Knights army list.
- Expect an Imperial Knights “Decurion” formation to be arriving with the new kits.

- Both models are protected by a single energy field based heavily on the rules for the Stronghold Assault book’s Void Shield Generator.
- Armor Values: Front:14 Side:13 Rear:13
- Hull Points: 8
- Both models clock in well above the cost of the Knight Paladin/Errant
via bird in the trees 4-25-2015:
Look for the following on the heels on the Assassins Game:
Imperial Knights are being redone:
Products include:
- New Codex
- New Cardset
- New Crusader/Warden combo kit
- Knight Transfer sheet (unchanged from last time)
Further Chatter:
- Contradictory chatter is talking about the possibility of some new kit bits being usable across both the new and older plastic Knights kits. Unknown if this is merely coincidence for aesthetic modeling, or perhaps may open up actual rules/gameplay opportunities…
- Look for a thicker IK codex with more content.
- Named character Knights are to be rolled up and included in the codex. (Gernatius and the Ebon Knight?)
