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 Households 40k Rules
Depending on your household, you can also get some other buffs. This is already looking decent as the Imperial Knights need as much help as they can get right now.
Re-rolling hits of 1 when you’re targeting the nearest unit is pretty nice but considering it’s only on the closest enemy, it could be annoying at times. Then though, the strat for 1 or 2 CP can be really strong if you have a bunch of high shot weapons on one Knight.
Considering they usually don’t have too hard of a time wounding, still, getting auto wounds is never a bad thing. The Strat is pretty nice though because you both add attacks and AP.
The Warlord trait here is pretty cool because as long you’re Virtuous, you will be using it every turn. Then, the relic is pretty cool as it adds 2 to the damage.
Ignoring modifiers for moving is nice, but the relic is probably the best part as you re-roll hits, so both combat and shooting.
The Honor’s Bite can do some insane damage and even in the sweep attack, it hits hard with mortals.
Moving d6+6 inches for a heroic intervention is super strong as it can take your opponent by surprise and get your big Knights into combat.
Subtracting one damage from melee attacks can help your models survive, but we sort of wish it was from all attacks.
Adding one to the attacks of all models in your army is pretty sweet. Then being able to advance and charge on your warlord is always going to be strong on a Knight.
Lastly, being able to add a dice and discard the lowest for your charges and advances is quite strong. Then for 1CP, adding an attack and re-rolling a hit roll of a 1.
