I have 2 GW knights magnetized and looking to get 2 knights from Forgeworld. What is the best knight to go with AdMech? Atrapos looks pretty solid. I would love to have Porphyrion, but i think i wait for Fires of Cyraxeus etc to be released before getting any 30k Stuff only.

I only have got a Lancer, so I can not tell you from experience, but I think Atrapos is the best one !

D for close range shots, D in CC, possible D vortex on long range shots, more HP, mini IWND, 2 shoting weapons... everything you wish for.

 

But all of them have their use. Lancer is the best when you have got a lot of super heavys you want to beat up in CC. Castigator is the doom of every big blob of infantry. Archon can deal with infantry thanks to his flamer and is solid against AVs because of his special CC weapon, but imho not as good as Lancer or Castigator in either sector. But he has got a second shooting weapon, which allows him to grill something with the big flamer and then charge something else he shot at with the Heavy Bolter. Lancer and Castigator have just one weapon each, so they can only shoot and charge 1 unit which might be an absolute overkill.

You forgot the ionic flare shield. Shooting attacks on the shield side are -1S (or -2S on templates), which is kinda necessary with the low range. And everything twin-linked against GC and SH, in case you need to kill big stuff. Will buy one, but rather because it looks most mechanicum-y out of all knights, and I love the 30k graviton design in general.

Depends on what you mean by best. If you ask the MDRC, the Styrix might be the answer (for obvious reasons)... :tongue.:

 

I was under impression Styrix is 30k only?

 

It is. The main armament precludes it from being used in 40k, really. ^_^
