Imperial Guard Rumor Roundup

[Bigred]

Plus Knights are grouped into Forgeworld-based Households and are part of the Adeptus Mechanicus - not the Diviso Militarus which commands the IG at all.

I certainly want to see them, but them being in the IG codex would be similar to titans appearing in the Space Marine codex - they just aren't part of the same organization.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out and how GW shoehorns them into whatever book they go into. Who knows - maybe they will get special rules of their own to be attached to any Imperial army. I could get behind that.

knight titans are tight but im torn between wanting official rules and not being able to use my un official model

This!

(Nah, who am I kidding, of course I want to see them!)

And they could easily be in the IG codex with a dataslate released so you can use them in SMs etc.

I thought the rumor is that they will be released with a Knights of the Imperium dataslate thing (in WD too?) that lets them join Imperial armies, possibly like an Inq detachment. They could put them in the IG codex, but honestly the IG heavy support slot is plenty crowded as is, and adding a Knight there would compete with sales of the likely new Artillery and Hydra kits.

See, when I read Imperial Knights, I thought Warhammer.

Because the models for the Empire Knights really, really, seriously need an update. Their horses are smaller (in full barding) than those ridden by the Pistoliers!

The question is wouldn't that be "Empire Knights"?

Also March - a "40k Month"...

[Kirsten]

yes for knights, that would rock, no for being in the guard codex.

A sentinel is about 7-9ft tall. A Knight is 9m tall.

What kind of puny sentinels do you have? The bottom of the cockpit is higher than a Space Marine's head, and they're 7-8 feet tall. The sentinel model is 2.5-3 times taller than a guardsman, so more like 15-18 feet.

[John Bower]

Space marines are 7foot, that is the GW official line, it's in C:CSM.

[Arkhan Land]

knight titans are gonna be a little bigger than your dread-knight really right around the height/size of your Lord of Skulls is, the main things that may be different are the fact that they might have void shielding
also I'm assuming they'd go with the Paladin but would be cool to see some alternate builds or conversions to make the remaining variety of em

FYI, any of my buddies who start calling their IG armies "Astra Militarium" are going to receive a swift readjustment to their nether regions courtesy of my foot.

That has to be the dumbest name retcon ever.

Please don't let it be true (but it would fall in line with GW moving away from generic names in order to better protect its IP)
