One of the most disruptive new releases of modern 40k, Codex Imperial Knights ushered in a new era of titanhammer and redefined the concept of the 'standard' game to include elements previously only seen within the safe confines of Apocalypse. This infamous codex has now been re-released for 7th Ed, with lots of new content and ways to literally Stomp your enemies into submission. Let's take a detailed look at the new book and how it will fit into the current state of the game. Weapons We will start by looking at the weapon options in the new book, since all codex Knights share the same profile and are fundamentally defined by their weapon choices. Primary Ranged Weapons Avenger Gatling Cannon ( Warden or Crusader) At 36 S6 AP3 Heavy 12 Rending, the Avenger is the most versatile of the Primary weapons, effective against infantry, light-to-medium armour, Flyers and Flying Monsters. While it may not always get the kill, it basically forces anything that can Jink to do so. Rapid- Fire Battle Cannon ( Paladin or Crusader) Firing 72 S8 AP3 Ordnance 2 Large Blasts, this weapon is good for damaging light armour and killing elite infantry, but is more variable than the Avenger due to its reliance on scattering blasts. Despite it being Ordnance, avoid shooting the Battle Cannon at vehicles since it will only strip 2 HP at best. Thermal Cannon ( Errant or Crusader) At 36 S9 AP1 Heavy 1 Melta Large Blast, you could be forgiven for thinking this is a great anti-armour weapon; however, while it will reliably damage most vehicles, it still only has a 33% chance to Explode a normal vehicle, so make sure you have other weapons available to back-up your Thermal Cannon. Consider that the normal Meltagun that all Knights can access for only 5 pts is just as good at killing vehicles as the Thermal Cannon, albeit at much shorter range. However, the Thermal Cannon is excellent for killing.
