New Knight!

I don't have too much to say about the new knight at this point. Clearly, it will be some time, if ever, that I acquire one because the cerastus knights are very expensive. Despite that, I do want one and will be watching for...alternatives. Perhaps I'll customize my own? Either way, the naysayers are wrong and this is a significant contribution to knight lists. Perhaps the toughest knight out there and the only one with a D ranged weapon. That alone means it deserves consideration.

That, and just look at it!

The Summer Goal

Well, a new Imperial Knight codex and an upcoming summer leaves me with a self imposed painting challenge to get an 1850 army up, painted, and ready to go. As of right now, that army will be all knights, using their new faction.

Upcoming Event: 30k Knights at 2k Points

For those not paying attention, Imperial Knights have kinda become my second love. They're everything, or at least most things, I love about the IG and more. While I have caught a bit of flak for playing them as much as I do (Hey, it could be centstar!) I don't think they're as bad as most people make them out to be, especially given our local meta that is very brutal. Honestly, we don't do casual here.

Of course, that means the FLGS is hosting a 2k 'casual' event. Having gone to one of these before, I can tell you that 'casual', in this case, means that more options are opened up and less restrictions are in place. If anything, it gets more competitive because of that. The big restriction being lifted this time is that players can use 30k, as long as they don't mix it with 40k.

That in mind, I'm running Knight Questoris. House Pelletier will walk!

LVO Practice Tournament Report

Ok, this is all a little late, so please forgive my lack of details. It is almost impossible to take notes during a tournament so I'm doing this on memory. That also means that I'll be dividing each game into deployment, early, mid, and late phases and giving the general details from memory.

I took a four Knight list and some Scions for support. I'm convinced that this has a lot of potential.

Whose got the advanced tech NOW tau?

30K: Questoris Knight List

I am considering picking up a copy of Horus Heresy 4: Conquest from Forgeworld. In addition to some great lore and a genuinely pretty book, it contains the Questoris Knight House list for the 30k setting. If anything, its actually weaker than knights in 40k (no adamantine lance or auto seneschals for example) but does contain their flavor and has some neat special abilities.

Being a listhammer guy, I made a list.

Damn these things are cool. Like 20% cooler even.

Little Ado About Nothing

I don't have much to add this week but I wanted to post something so that people know I'm not dead...
...I'm not dead.

In other news, new FAQs came out today and only two things matter to me.

House Pelletier Walks

I'm going to a 1250/1250 team tournament this Saturday and...well...I'm just going to leave this here.

WIP: Adamantine Lance

I figured that its been too long since I updated this blog and the last one isn't much. Bad news, this one isn't either. Good news, in one way it is bigger.

They call him THE CLAW!

The Steel Host

I'm still awaiting my Knights because the mail is slow these days...but I did pick up Sanctus Reach: The Red WAAAAAAAAGH! (had to be done.) I can't help but feel that between meh fluff and the Adamantine Lance that a hidden jewel has gone unnoticed within this tome: The Steel Host.

Its just an iconic thing

I've got knights: Knight List @ 1850

So, after much begging and pleading, my wife finally let me spend the money to acquire another two knights to that I can field a primary Imperial Knight Detachment. I love my wife. Of course, this means I need a sweet list for the Knights and I decided that allied IG and their accompanying treads are the best fit.

Tournament Report: 3 Games of Stompy, Blasty, Fun!

Finally, the reports I've promised.
