happyslugger Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi folks, Just wondered what our thoughts were regarding the new knights. I play mainly with my son (9) and he has a knight and I have a renegade knight (both magnetised and from the previous box set). Anyway, Do we think we (chaos) will get access to these new toys at a later date? Surely easy money to be made by GW? How would a mono DG build deal with multiple knights?

Clincher37 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I've heard that Renegade Knights will be able to use the Imperial Knights codex but at that time it's just a rumor and I couldn't even tell you where I heard it as I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyslugger Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 We can take double weapons though can't we (haven't used mine in a while). Can the dirty loyalists do this now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clincher37 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Can't say since I'm not super familiar with knights of either flavor, just communicating what I had heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeresyBeliever Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The Imperials do not have the flexibility in the standard knights but they now have the bigger and smaller ones. The standard points have gone down in the new codex and I expect the Index the be FAQ'd accordingly. I cant see chaos getting access to the new stuff any time soon. I'm sure in a friend game people wouldn't be bothered if you used one along side your chaos army. I personally wouldn't. Remember Imperials do not really have any LOW other than Girlyman outside of forgeworld. Chaos have the Lord of skulls, magnus and morty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Loki Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We have access to renegade Knights in the chaos index and the forge world chaos index. Just basic rules nothing fancy but if you want to use your big stomp robot then that's where to look at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi folks, Just wondered what our thoughts were regarding the new knights.

Anyway, Do we think we (chaos) will get access to these new toys at a later date? Surely easy money to be made by GW? How would a mono DG build deal with multiple knights? I honestly have no idea. I don't think GW will keep the Renegade Knights with just Index rules forever but I also don't see a Dark Mechanicum or Renegade Knight Codex in the immediate future. A Dark Mechanicum Codex would be awesome and certainly within reach but there's so much else rumoured and/or announced to come that I don't think they even began working on such a Codex yet. About the new Knights for Chaos ... possible but I don't think it's very likely. At least not the exact same models. GW is currently working towards diversifying each faction so releasing the exact same stuff for Chaos but not within the same Codex doesn't make much sense in my book. Maybe they'll give Chaos their own bigger and smaller Knights, maybe they go a very different route and give Chaos more big Daemonic engines instead. Both are just as possible but I personally hope it'll be the latter. It's 10k years since some Knight Houses turned traitor after all and the Warp and the Dark Mechanicum can do weird stuff do machines. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 They might issue an update to the FAQ for the index to keep the points costs of the Renegade Knight the same as Imperial counterparts. However, I can't see them being able to just use the Imperial 'dex - no way, there are too many things to chop and change for that to be a valid option. If anything GW will probably return to Renegade/ Chaos (both very different things) Knights as a concept down the line with they're own model range in the future, to really differentiate them. For now though, enjoy double gattling & the Kytan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
