"blame the tories for that" ahem. No. It's a part of British (and European society). Labour and it's equivalents also treat social mobility as an intestinal worm. All their working class advocacy is presumed on the notion the working class will be so forever. That they can never move up. You can argue this is a good thing for rallying support for social programs. But it's reality. America has an attitude that you are able to move up and it's a good thing to do so. Britain and to a lesser extent Canada culturally expect stagnation.

Alright, this is going to sound really stupid but Don Quixote would make for a great Imperial Knights novel. On some far off agri world he's the only knight left, the sole remnant of a bygone era who patrols the countryside in search of one final adventure. With him is Sancho, a guardsman who accompanies the knight partly out of boredom but also out of concern, both for the old man piloting the machine and for the people who might get caught up in his "quests". Whilst their story might not be as grand or as bloody as most Warhammer novels the duo ultimately has a positive impact on the lives of the people they encounter. They accidentally solve personal disputes, they dig irrigation canals looking for buried artefacts and they clear out wildlife infestations by means of overwhelming firepower. If nothing else it'd make for an interesting change of pace.
@axios47022 жыл бұрын
You know, that could make for a fucking hilarious mini story. You could even represent Rocinante's poor condition by making Quixote's Knight be all rusty and damaged. Slap Sancho on an armiger while you are at it, make him the last survivor servant of Don Quixote's house, because why not? And have them stroll around an agri-world or a sector wrecking havoc both on actual threats and innocent civilians going about their daily lives.

He used the Noble Sacrifice strat and explosion from the Knight wiped out the last few wounds on a couple of Armigers, one of those ended up exploding and finishing off another Armiger and the only unit my orks lost was a Battlewagon on bottom bracket, while that stratagem cost him a third of his army.

I actually viewed the reason the Pilots became protective and ‘knightly’ was because the Throne Mechanicum literally gets imprinted by the pilot, meaning the knight’s “machine spirit” takes on the characteristics of the person using it. And with each generation of knight, each new imprint, makes the knight more and more protective, and like how the pilot imprints on the knight, the knight imprints on them. So the knight takes on traits of everyone who uses it, and the pilot takes on traits of everyone who ever did use it

And suddenly I want an Arabian Nights themed imperial knight. A world where most of the surface consists of deserts and small nomadic tribes while uber-rich sultans use family heirlooms for sport. Said heirlooms being bejeweled knights that are totally not using blades from dead Eldar.

Open play Home brew rules I’m working on and tweaking are All instances of abhorrent, wardog or tyrant are treated as questoris, armiger, and dominus, except for dread tests and when deciding on favor of the gods abilities. you must possess 2 kings, one chaos one loyalist, you must declare which knights are loyal to which king at the beginning of the game. Point costs for all knights are reduced by 25% At the beginning of each players command phase, roll a D6 for each king, if a 6 is rolled then the king being rolled for has control split between both players along with all knights loyal to him.

I'd like to add to the rant on feudalism around 6:00 Feudal society is a type of social contract built on the exchange of servitude for protection on one hand and on the other hand the division of territorial administration on the basis of loyalty to a superior power and military aid to said sovereign. Feudalism established in Europe as a result of the huge power vacuum due to the dissolution of the roman empire and the evolution on a bigger scale of the warband organisation of germanic people. It's quite possible that in the context of the abandoned space colonies during the age of strife the only real power remaining was the protection offered by knights to the inhabitants of said colonies. So they became feudal as a result of th power vacuum and the knights were the only ones who could realistically offer protection from the warp fuckery going on. In those colonies then the knights could be armed and maintained exchanging military power for labour.

When I first played Dawn of War as a kid, I made a custom space marine chapter called "the Blue Moon knights". Nowadays I like the Blood Ravens too much to want to play any other space marine chapter, but I'd like to make a knight house that can inherit that awesome name. And I dont know how I'd do it, but I'd absolutely love to have the leader of the house wield an over sized Moon Light Greatsword straight from Dark Souls.

Do you want to basically play ‘what would happen if modern military technology threw hands with WW1 militaries?’ Then farsight enclaves are for you” Seriously, in 6th and 7th especially, I played Gulf War I era US Military vs WWI era British Army with a couple of tanks that died my first turn. When Horus heresy came out as a game, I fought and killed every primarch with that army. Because my army list began with 30 crisis suits. And tau plasma wounded a space marine on a 2 and ignored their armor whether they were blessed by the dark gods on a motorcycle or cowering in a crater trying to get a 6+ save. Whether you took them in squads of 5, 10 or 20, I’d kill space marines like Aldo Raines killed Nazis. “Objectives” were some shit space marines went to so I could kill them easier. They got no cover, they got no saves and that 3+ armor and majority 4 statline didn’t matter. I had two riptides I always deep struck (prepare for Titanfall!) because they always drew all the fire, because riptides were the big bad. The thirty crisis suits were what fucked you in the ass though.

Basically every army with a 9e codex, including Knights now, have rules that stop your units benefiting from all the cool rules your army gets if they mix with any other army. While I understand why it was done, I think it greatly undercuts both tactical flexibility and the narrative of being one big Imperium. Imperial Knights suffer the most from this, as they benefited mechanically and in story from fighting alongside other forces. Thankfully for Knights, this "No Souping" policy is not total. You CAN include one(1) Knight in another army, as a Freeblade. And you only lose the Oaths, which is bad but not a complete loss. So it IS possible to run as the secret weapon in an Imperium strike force, or as the leader in charge of a company of household soldiers (Guard). The main flavor fail is that you must assign the knight as a Freeblade, even if narratively you have a house. Maybe one day 40K will stop being so difficult and anal, and just let you run your army the way you want. Not having to jump through hoops just to make things legal, because of loads of arcane bureaucratic nonsense.

I knew a couple of guys who basically home grew their own rules when it came to 40k. They didn't completely overhaul the rules already present, but they were obsessed with developing new ways of playing, actually playing those new developments and working out any kinks or issues they ran into and rinsed and repeated. One of the interesting things was that they developed platoons/squadrons and lieutenants for Space Marines a good few years before GW introduced the Primaris Marines, and the flexibility that offered during larger company size battles was a fun change of pace. I kind of wish they were in charge of making new editions at GW, because they seemed to really be interested in making a fun game to play.

Well, yes, I agree. However, letting a knight have all it's cool rules, and ALSO letting your guard army's cool rules apply to the knight as well is kinda busted. There has to be a line somewhere. That said, there's quite a bit of room for it to shift a little bit.

Before I started the game I was planing for a Knights army, the whole medieval but in space is very much my thing. I’m a big fan of the UC timeline of gundam and medieval history from clothing, common life and farming practices to armor, battles, smithing and architecture. The late medieval period and the early modern are my favorites in history. So imperial knights were an easy choice, I started writing lore for my custom house, I was gathering reference to make a coat of arms and a color scheme and I made the list of models and the order to buy them. Then the black Templars got reworked… that’s how I ended up playing space marines. (Edit): I still plan to get myself a nice little medieval mecha force, my love from the faction hasn’t worn out. But that will be in the future, I want to gather painting skills with my Templars and the space marines are really fun to play, so I don’t really mind waiting. Thanks for bringing light into a little bit of a “overlooked” faction. It was a great video and I hope to see more in the future!

A friend of mine has a knight attached to his Guard. It's heavily modified and looks much more Titanfall or battletech than a normal knight, then painted up like someone gave a sentinel steroids. Very boxy, no shield etc. His head cannon is that a knight heard of the fall of cadia and was inspired by their stand so sort of adopted a cadian regiment, and was adopted by them.

You can also typically get suitable alternatives to warhammer models like my guardsmen aren't actually warhammer models they are some weird futuristic soldier models which just happen to pass for guardsmen. If your looking for inquisitor, or commisar models I find WW2 German models do just fine. As for space marines or even the banana boys simply go looking for generic power armored super soldiers, and find one that has a pointier hat.

I really like the Imperial Knights for their lore A lot of the Imperium's weapons and equipment from fragments of the dark age of technology were not supposed to be used for that purpose at all, like terminator armour being for asteroid mining or something like that and i'm pretty sure one of the tank types was meant to be a tractor and even the technology that was intended as a weapon is often incomplete, unstable and irreplaceable The Knights though? Fully intended as weapons, fully understood with intact STC data, and completely practical, able to engage in RANGED combat like people with brains would have intended, even designing them to serve other functions because they won't be in combat for long periods as well As completely insane and unhinged as the 40k universe is and I love it for that, I adore seeing glimpses of that old sane practicality to contrast it to, like that one time a fully intact human AI encountered the Imperium inside the hull of its ship and utterly floored all of them spirutally mentally and physically before saying "fuck this place" and leaving imperial space to find something better to do

Adding some serfs as chaff units would fit the theme very nicely in my opinion and would make them work as independent armies. Historically knights obles had to also show up with the retinue when mustered, it would be quite reasonable to expect a knight house in the 40k to show up with some peasants armed with lasguns and a few low-tech artillery peaces. Make it a shittier version of Imperial Guard. It would also allow knights to actually contest objectives.

I mean it is essentially brain washing. Whoever originally programmed the Throne Mechanicum probably just meant for it to be a subtle influence. "Guard and protect the new colony, like a knight of old," which worked with the pattern names of the walkers. But just as the Throne Mechanicum imprints on the pilot the pilot imprints back on the Throne Mechanicum. Generation after generation, a feedback loop, each time reinforcing that whole knightly aesthetic until it becomes a driving obsession. It is said the Knight Houses of Mars don't have this problem because they know how to clear the cache on their thrones. Everyone else has thousands of years of a feedback loop going.
