In the apocalyptic clashes of the Horus Heresy, Loyalist and Traitor forces harnessed their full arsenal to engage in colossal battles. Across multiple fronts, titanic war machines marched alongside infantry units, the skies ablaze with energy beams and cataclysmic ordnance volleys.
Unleash the Might of Knights and Titans
In the Legions Imperialis, your Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia armies can now be reinforced by the formidable presence of Knights and Titans. These colossal war machines may appear diminutive on this scale, but their impact is nothing short of devastating.
Flexible Integration of Knight Households
While your Primary Army List must constitute 70% of your total points, the remaining 30% can be allies, including the Knight Household Lance Formations. From Questing knights to distinctive designs like leggy knights and even miniature Armigers, you have a plethora of options to choose from.
The Knight Household Lance Formation comprises a single Knight Banner with one pattern type – Questoris, Cerastus, or Acastus – with customization opportunities. Enhance your formation with additional Knights of the same chassis, transform a Cerastus into an Atrapos, or bolster your ranks with a swarm of Armigers.
Unyielding Power and Defense
These towering mechanical giants boast exceptional resilience – even Armigers possess a robust 3+ save, while Knights Acastus sport a formidable 2+, akin to budget Titans. Furthermore, each Knight wields an Ion Shield, mitigating the Armor Penetration of enemy weapons targeting their front arc.
Unveiling Weaknesses and Tactics
In a clash against these towering behemoths, strategic positioning is paramount. Lure opponents into exposing their rear arcs, allowing you to deliver a barrage of devastating attacks. In Legions Imperialis, arcs are simplified – dividing across the center of the base or model.
Ravaging Weapons and Devastating Assault Potential
Knights excel not only in absorbing damage but also in dealing lethal blows. Armed with an extensive array of weapons and boasting a formidable Close Assault Factor of +8 at minimum, they are versatile combatants. Weapons like the Thermal Spear, Thermal Cannon, and Atrapos Lascutter possess the Engine Killer (X) trait, ideal for obliterating super-heavy armor.
Titanic Threats and Future Coverage
Despite their might, Knights aren’t the largest entities on the battlefield. As Titan Legions advance, Knights may face peril. Stay tuned for our upcoming coverage of Legions Imperialis, where Titans take center stage, and the skies open for air support operations.
