From what I glanced at, the Knights have some Special Rules that are defined in Escalation. I would imagine it's easy enough to use those definitions without allowing the entire book.

A Lord of War is a Lord of War.  This doesn't look like a "normal" codex to me, less so even than the inquisition thing.  Of course, it sucks that GW is in no way clear about this.

Yeah, if it ends up being another abnormal book or if the Knights are to be used only in escalation games, they will not be allowed in this event.

It would be a real shame.  I guess we're going to have to wait until the 1st'ish to see.  :/

"Other digital and hard backed supplements that are not found under the restrictions (see below) will be allowed."

Does this mean the Tyranid dataslates are ok?

Thanks

I may actually go to this event to see how the Komp scoring pans out.

I am not familiar with the different Tyranid dataslates, but if they fall within the rules, are not Lords of War, they can be taken... Although we may add Komp points to them later.


It's sort of the problem with trying to do this Komp stuff with the rate at which GW is putting out content now.  I guess I'll have to be better at limiting everything, but people get their panties in a bunch over that also.

Why do people keep thinking Imperial Knights(IK) are Lords of War?? The White Dwarf CLEARLY states they can be a primary or allied force with MULTIPLE Knights. Lords of War CAN'T be more then ONE!  :D

Shrug?  Because they're super-heavies. 

And regardless, even if GW "everyone can take these, all the time", that doesn't really mean we should listen to that.

Someone must have the white dwarf in hand on these forums.

Are the white dwarf rules temporary until a dex or mini-dex comes out soonish? Or are the white dwarf rules the only rules we're getting?

They list the rules for models themselves, but not how the codex actually works. Which is out next week.

Is there a leaked pic that says they're super heavies? I haven't seen one..

And just because you light the forums up with negative comments doesn't mean we should listen to you
