Jolemai Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Are there any Flyers an Imperial Knight list can take outside of the Adeptus Astartes Stormwing dataslate and the Imperial Navy's Marauders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The Tyranids Flyer formations, oddly enough, make awesome support for Knights. I particularly love the Spore formation, with the anti-Flyer spores. Been thinking about modeling them as old style anti-balloons.

Sturm Moonwolf Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I team my knights up with my space wolves so I have Stormwolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 So no Thunderbolts, Lightnings, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If you use Mechanicum 30k allies you can take a 30k Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heron Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If you want to go with just flyers, I would suggest taking the Skyboss Wingnutz Air Armada formation from Sanctus Reach: Hour of the Wolf. 3 Dakka Jets 1 Blasta Bommer 1 Burna Bommer All of the flyers heal their hull points and regain their single-use bombs and missiles when they return from ongoing reserve. I have no idea how it would work, but it sure sounds fun to me! Sure you are come the apocalypse allies, but since you start the Ork flyers off the board it doesn't matter.... I am currently converting a Morkanaught to give this a try (I guess it will be a Morka-Knight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Paen Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You lookin for ground attack or anti-air? If you want anti-air, go with a Vengeance weapons battery of two with the quad las-cannon upgrade. I don't have a solution for ground attack ...sorry.

Lucien Eilam Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 They are an Army, they have a Codex,....explain please. Knights don't have units capable of filling the mandatory slots on any Detachment that has a Fortification slot. Knight armies don't lose anything by going Unbound though, so you might as well do that if you want a Fortification. You only need allies if you want to be Battle-forged for some reason.

BassWave Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Horus Heresy Conquest has a ruleset that is waaay more complete than the knight "codex". It even has different types of pilots to upgrade the knight with that also determine its FOC slot. One gives skyfire, and when combined with either the styrix or castigator, you get a very efficient AA platform.
