Warhammer Community has revealed the 4 Knight Detachments in our new codex. I don't know if I'll get it, at least not in the near future (maybe a few months later). Not only have I run out of money, I'm currently focusing on Horus Heresy. But I'll get the Knight codex...eventually.
Anyway, Noble Lance is no more. No more 6+++ Feel No Pain. In his place, we get the Valorstrike Lance, which gives our Knights Assault and rerolls for advance. Oh, well. I'm probably more inclined toward Dauntless Defenders because Ryuusei Katanas used to be known as the Draconian Defenders. I think.
I won't be covering all the rules revealed - you can read the Warhammer Community article for that. I would love to, but I'm exhausted. I've been regularly working until past 8 or 9pm for the last couple of months, and by the time I finally sit down to catch up on news, it's almost 11.30pm. Hell, it's almost 1am now when I'm writing this, and I have to work again tomorrow. I couldn't even drop by Gamers @ Pi to pick up my Veletaris and Contemptor Dreadnought (I told you I'm focusing on Horus Heresy) because by the time I got off work, the game store had already closed.
...oh, well.
By the way, that yellow Knight might appear to be bearing the Ultramarine symbol on his shoulder pauldron, but he's House Hawkshroud. No, seriously. That ultima symbol is also a Hawkshroud thing. Also, the Knights for Dauntless Defenders are House Raven.
Anyway, I'll just go to bed now. Have fun reading the article. Honestly, aside from Crusade, I can't say I'm excited about the new Knight codex. Losing our Feel No Pain hurts (pun very much intended), and I'm not really a fan of Heroes of Legend because I feel like the Deeds are hard to complete (for me, anyway). I also like my Titanic Knights more than Armigers, so the Spearhead-at-Arms detachment don't really interest me. Valorstrike Lance seems like the old Knight Errant Bondsman ability, which is cool, but doesn't really fit my playstyle. In the end, it's either Questor Forgepact or Dauntless Defender (which probably wins by default, though I see the appeal in running my Skitarii alongside my Knights).
Frankly, I'd much rather play Horus Heresy with my titanic Knights and Yeomanry mesnie or automata talon, than 10th Edition. I don't know. I swear it's not because of Valrak, I just am not feeling it. Oh, I'll definitely play Crusade, though! I would love to play Crusade, for sure! Maybe that's what I need, focus on narrative, and to hell with the Detachments. I'm gonna create a story for my Knights.
Adios. じゃね。再见。See ya. (I'm going crazy because I'm exhausted, so don't mind me)
