GW's March 1st stuff (Knight Titan)

[MM3791]

Yea I don't think it's bad at all, I just like to add fuel to the fire lol

Genestealers, plaguebearers, scarabs, necron guass.. lots of things can kill it. Just don't feed it any monsters or walkers.

As far as I know, Genestealers and Plaguebearers can't hurt it at all?  So I'm not sure what you're talking about.  Scarabs could kill it sure, but I have doubts about any reaching one. 

It basically has about the same raw firepower as a Riptide, and the same CC capacity as Wraithknight (but a little better) as it moves 12" and will kill basically whatever it swings at.  But it's tougher and costs about 1.5 times what a wraithknight does.

Don't assault it with your bloodthirster assault it with a large squad of peons. It can only kill 3 a turn

you'd be surprised how much damage stomp can do. i'm not saying it's going to turn a 30 man squad into paste in one round, but you also shouldn't expect that mob to hold up the knight all game.

Entropic doesn't work on super heavy vehicles, so scarabs are out too.

Genestealers have S4, I6 rending, and could bring it down with sheer volume of attacks. Plaguebearers have Plagueswords, which have the "Touch of Rust" special rule, which everyone seems to overlook.

These things are AV 13 front armor.  Str 4 rending will just barely scratch the paint.  I don't know how the touch of rus ability works, but I doubt it's a lot better.  Don't forget it has a 4++ save on top of everything else. 

[robpro]

The save is only in the shooting phase.

[Sir_Prometheus]

Good point

[RojoGrande41788]

Touch of rust means that any roll of 6 to pen is automatically a glance unless it would be a penetrating hit. It's basically gauss in melee for plaguebearers.

I'm not saying its like a melta bomb lol, I'm just saying it is definately doable with sheer volume of attacks. Genestealers are good at that, and hey I've even killed a monolith with Plaguebearers before.. both units certainly can have there uses.

[PhoenixFire]

disappointed it's not on a bigger base

[Mad Dok Rob]

I know it is a flyer base, is that the same base as a tau riptide?

Yup riptide,  wraithknights,  dreadknight, etc

Up for pre orders now. GW site is reporting it at 8 inches

[MM3791]

Also if you go to the "Armies" section of the GW website, Imperial Knights have their own section.. basically confirming that they are getting their own codex.

[Chase]

Let me know if you want them, people.

I'll get one shippment before they're gone for a few weeks.
