How to Start an Imperial Knights Army in Warhammer 40K 10th Edition - Guide for Beginners

[@AzureKite619]

Hope they release that knights Combat Patrol soon.

[@therichguywithnomoney.3383]

Just buy a Paladin

[@chuckhoyle1211]

Isn't that an armiger box?

[@RagingWyvern]

So one u it or 2?

[@BurnByMoonlight]

It just released last weekends - the Cerastus Knight Lancer.

[@reginaldgorpfist249]

Everyone missed the joke it seems.

[@bryantprak7129]

If your starting a new knight army. Buy Canis Rex kits exclusively and magnetize. The kit give you everything you need to run any knight you want

[@knightsljx]

you can ONLY buy the canis rex unless you're buying old boxes. the lastest Questoris packaging is the Canis Rex without the box art, that's why GW only has ONE SKU each for the Questoris, Abominant, and Castellan.

[@patykaarplegos6282]

Even though i already collect knights, glad to see you teaching people how to join the glorious mechanical army

[@tinker1945]

I think one of the things I like about Imperial Knights, is the ability to just pick up one model and use it in your imperium army. So even if you only pick up 4 armigers to start? You can run 3 of them in your space marines.

[@KriegeroftheLake]

That’s what I’m thinking I’ll do with AdMech, two factions, but I can take units from one to use in the other

[@StimmBehr]

If you have some chest hair you’ll get 4 questoris knights and a vindicare. Competitive viability is a psyop.

[@patykaarplegos6282]

How about 2 Questoris and a dominus and 1 helverin

[@StimmBehr]

@@patykaarplegos6282 3 questoris, one dominus, 1 culexus

[@camostrike4395]

Admittedly I do wanna do that and use the vindicare to kill characters

[@benmunn7481]

Nah, 2 acastus porphryons and a cerastus lancer and you're good

[@Lazare7782]

Nah, you would get 5 gallants

[@Alex-cw3rz]

I'm planning on making an Knights army at some point but to make it an engineers units, based off the British 79th Amoured Division of WW2 with their Hobarts funnies. So one will be a fascine carrier, one with anti mine flail like the Sherman Crab, making one into a recovery Imperial Knight with cranes, a bridge layer Knight etc. All non playable additions and magnetised so they can be removed if necessary, but I just thought of the idea and become fascinates with it.

[@wellwell7950]

Okay, that sounds quite cool

[@hallstuart6604]

Dam that sounds cool!

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Very interesting idea. Kinda ties back into their roots as farming equipment

[@lt.danhooper1635]

Well if they're fully magnetized, there's no reason you can't swap in "legal" weapon loadouts for an actual game

[@hallstuart6604]

Honestly dude thank you man! Your idea inspired me to think about adding some character to my knight army and I am going to assign battle field roles to each knight. So heavy gunner, combat engineer, assault.. that kind of thing. Make it like a massive version of an infantry squad 🙂

[@Prattical]

Personally, i find knights easier to paint too! I've struggled to get all the details I want on minatures. (I can barely do belts and belt buckles), but on a big robot it's not too bad!

[@internetuser320]

Meanwhile gsc and guard player: ***k the face

[@johnwhitehouse4546]

If I didn't already like mechs, this'd be my main reason for starting a Knight army.

[@jeffreywelch9360]

For competitive lists your going to want to start with 2 Magnetized Questoris and 7 Magnatized Armigers. On the side you want two 10 man Exaction squads and a vindicare assassin. Later add a dominus and maybe a 10 man voidsman(2x rogue trader kill team) squad for some flexibility. If you want get some cerastus in plastic after this.

[@JavierEscuelIa]

Instructions unclear- bought a dominus knight and struggled to write a list around it

[@jeffreywelch9360]

Add a crusader 5 warglaives one helvrin one assassin

[@JavierEscuelIa]

@@jeffreywelch9360 should have also mentioned the theme I was going for is 7 deadly sins, so I need exactly 7 knights, and the Castellan doesn't like that number

[@YoutubeInks]

Do you really think you need to mag armigers?

[@DetectiveLance]

Step one of starting a Knights army: murder someone for their armigers/wardogs since GW hasn't made any in months

[@beauaadams153]

Funny enough I traded off some crappy Transformer toys for 4 helvrin, and 3 armiger no box but they were unbuilt with there instructions.

[@YoutubeInks]

:Takesnotes:

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

I like how Knights are always brought up as one of the easier armies for newcomers because "you need so few models", but those models are $170 each...

[@battleland7263]

Yeah, they are cheaper than other armies despite the price per model

[@Adalon-]

Yeah now look up the average cost of a 2k army. You'll rapidly realize WHY its said

[@NeilFosterTheDarkGameMaster]

A big save is also magnetizing. it's surprisingly easy to do with just a manual Dremel and means you only need 3 Questoris, 2 Dominus, Whatever Cerastsus models you think are cool, Canis rex, and 5 boxes of magnetized Armigiers to get a fairly comprehensive library of units. while the upfront cost is a little more then say grey knights or custodes, in the long run you end up saving several thousands of dollars. So in addition to be relatively easy to finish a 2k list you also are only a few more models away from finishing what will feel like a nice wide collection. Little old to reply but for future peeps I figured I should write this

[@Pluto.AAC_]

I hope we get some kind of knight bundle similar to the start collecting for other factions

[@4TheLion]

“Why collect Knights?” BECAUSE THEY’RE FLIPPING COOL 😎

[@jackofn0trades29]

Always a good day when we get to see Auspex’s knights.

[@tim9241]

I’ll add troll trader to the buying option - actually pretty good pricing for models that are already painted and “battle ready”. Just need to be patient/search a bit to find the colour option that suits you.

[@inarihatta464]

Been a 40k fan for awhile but never went table top, but the knights got me thinking otherwise, and it honestly fuels my inner mecha nerd to collect and build, hoping to start playing soon.

[@oscarpoderoso5527]

The cheapest army is imperial knights if you bought 2 battleforces. 340€ en GW store but I got two of them in my local game store for 136€ each. 20% discount. 272€ in total I think there is nothing cheaper new in sprues than this example.

[@knightsljx]

good luck finding that old box

[@Adalon-]

Started with necromunda and thinking of making knights for my first step into 40k. Love giant robots.

[@popkhorneorkgaming9283]

Love the channel keep up the great work

[@zeroxexe111]

Just bought armigers gotta get the codex! Exciting!

[@roansythen]

Just to note, the Index Cards are back in stock on GW website (at least in Canada). I had an email notification set up and just ordered some.

[@kjellizar]

Im currently starting a knight army. Got the Lancer box on my painting desk. Fingers crossed for your giveaway

[@DefaultProphet]

Get the chain breaker lance from Christmas

[@GuardianAssassin]

Absolute MUST If you can!

[@moderndavinci6599]

My knight army is so close to being done, it just needs... more

[@the_real_kevin8996]

why arent they making a titan combat patrol box? been waiting for 10+ years already

[@MrTBSC]

"why play imperial knights?" ... realy the short answer would be "what if Warhammer had Battletech/Mechwarrior mechs"

[@chuckhoyle1211]

Magnets. Get lots of magnets.

[@espadasdealbion]

Hi. I’m plannig to start an Imperial Knights army. I think I saw from your channel a video with some 1K example army lists, but I can’t find that video anymore, ¿Could you please tell me where are those army lists? in cas it’s in your channel ofc. Thanks

[@hammer1349]

These days 1k will get you a questoris and 3-4 armigers depending on what variants you use

[@hugohe6877]

My beloved Knights

[@AleBeard117]

one questoris, one dominis, a vindicare assassin, fill the rest with armigers/helverins. for bigger list add in an extra questoris or lancer, with this add in some imperial navy breachers

[@NornQueenKya]

You have to get a Castellan first. Giant guns with dakka for daaaaaaayyyysss

[@stevenhankin6077]

Planning to get a night soon as custodes/sisters allays i have a feeling it'll be a slippery slope

[@ashforbes4666]

Thanks to this video I have finally decided on my first 40K army. Could you use an Astra militarum Cadian command squad and 20 x Cadian shock troops instead of the Vindicare assassin and 1x5 Arbites extraction squad?

[@matthewquan9083]

The Cadian Command Squad and Shock Troopers aren't Imperial Agents and wouldn't be able to be allied in.

[@smoogsterdragongaming323]

Step 1: create a savings account Step 2: suffer as you make it your “knight” account

[@Hello-no7gm]

Step 3. Celebrate as its cheaper than any other army

[@smoogsterdragongaming323]

@@Hello-no7gm is it? Huh. I guess buying 8 knight models at once is more impactful than slowly buying cyborgs

[@brotherhao4225]

@@smoogsterdragongaming323 I actually ran the math on it, you could pick up 2 knights and 8 armigers brand new for only £344; thats a pretty great cost as far as armies go. I mean, speaking from experience for thousand sons you're looking at atleast £425 minimum for the bare essentials with no flexibility if you're buying all brand new from a 3rd party retailer. At the time though, you couldve picked up 2 chainbreaker lance boxes at a discount for £115 and that wouldve been your entire army for £230 done pretty much.

[@Vash108]

Do you feel the ability to have your castigator deep strike is worth it over others if looking to go melee heavy?

[@artemis1297]

2 chain breaker boxes if you can get them cheap is also solid

[@raistlarn]

Cheap back when released. Any surviving boxes would be marked up to not worth it levels.

[@theslarz]

my list is canis rex castellan 6 armigers magnitized and eversor or a vindicare assassin

[@N0v4.fr05t.]

god i love 40k imperial knights

[@Dirt1061]

I wish they were in stock somewhere in the USA.

[@impish4804]

I really don't get why IK doesn't have a melta / gattling armiger or a gattling / melee one... The lack of choice in armigers makes IK pretty disapointing :/

[@knightsljx]

*laughs in War Dogs. IK really gets shafted by GW, Chaos Knights get every single configuration including IK ones, but not the other way round

[@djsaunter]

Great timing! This video is coming out just before I win the September giveaway! 😂

What if i only want a 1000 point army?

[@almostmeek]

i did rainbow armigers, all of them are a different color :)

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

Power Rangers !

[@almostmeek]

@@SWIFTO_SCYTHE that was the second theme. I specifically have the 5 main colors and green. No white though

[@RevanR]

The Last imperial knight Battleforce is the best entry point to start imperial knight army, but currently the best way is starting with armigers

[@NeoIsrafil]

What I really don't get is why you can't be an admech knights house... The majority of knights ARE sworn to the admech .. I feel like it'd be fun to have some admech, skitari maybe to handle scouting and objective stuff and keep things off your big boys, and then knights. I saw the big porph knight.. immediately I went and grabbed an STL Cuz there's no way I'm paying them hundreds for a few pounds of resin, my resin is 22 a bottle ;). Probably wouldn't use him in a game anyway, he's SOOO expensive points wise. Anyone know if I'm allowed to use my ren faire house name for my knights army? 😂 I've even got my own personal heraldry and house heraldry I could apply accurately to my knights. I found a really neat replacement head for the questoris or probably dominus too since they share so much, it's a bearded helmet. 😂. I'll probably have at least one bearded knight just for fun.

[@miles6795]

did they make dominus class multi kit yet?

[@_Morph1ne_]

I’ve been thinking about getting a knight to use as an ally but I’m afraid I’ll end up buying a whole army.

[@pedro-fd6sb]

step one wait for the wardogs to be on stock again and wait, and wait,.....and wait...........and...

[@knightpaladin9841]

I like knights

I take personal offense to Chaos Knights being weaker, 14 Wardogs (6 Stalkers, 6 Brigands and 2 Executioners) just trample enemies of the Dark Gods! Then again "nothing personal, kid" Valiant IS legit funny concept.

[@jonathandoherty9082]

If I do get a knight, it'll be a questoris and it will ally with my marines

[@YoutubeInks]

hardest part is getting Armigers really.

[@adambusenbark63]

I've picked up a questoris (though i was inches away from dominis instead!) To ally with my deathwatch and guard. Someday hes gonna sneak in a couple of armigers and with a couple imperial agents, a mini knight household will be born. Unless i win that giveaway 😅

[@garettparisien2405]

i just started building a knight army. it will be my 4th army.

[@chuckchalmers4960]

Meh, try hard faction. I only want a knight to act as a gorkonaught, since ork walkers look likes turds with legs.

[@davidcanty7903]

Open wallet and pray armigers / wardogs are ever in stock.

[@Brettoh]

There’s nothing sweeter than Angron alone tabling a Knights army on Turn 2!

[@darchensol5112]

right now you dont start imperials. because if you begin now you look like a soulless meta-chasing asshat. (chaos is ok, doesn't quite have the same OP rule soup) after one more nerf cycle they should be fine though :D

[@stevennicgorski1657]

I'm so torn. I dont know if I wanna start a knight army, a black Templar army or wait for the (hopefully) inevitable emperor's children refresh

[@carlosiyanaszca]

probably second most expensive army

[@centermassgamer323]

Just got a 3D printer, so knight army coming soon!

[@neptunwalker1115]

titanfall 2 knights go brrr

Answer: try to ONLY buy 7

Blech, knights should have stayed in epic. Ive yet to see an interesting knights-game...
