Foe Faction Focus: Imperial Knights

Image
Hello, honored battle brethren! In an effort to help with playing into opponents you're likely to run into on your way to glorious victory, I'd like to do a deep dive into Imperial Knights. This is a continuation of the Know The Foe series of articles, just with a new name because it's more alliterative, because I am just that kind of nerd. One of the biggest barriers to winning games is the knowledge gap. Opponents will generally know what most things in our lists do because they're facing Space Marines all the time. The reverse is not always true, so I'm writing these articles to redress that balance. Imperial Knights were a strong faction in the meta before the recent balance dataslate buff, and they are a top faction now. I'd say they're competing with Death Guard for the title of top faction, and as of this writing they were the top faction last weekend.

Hello battle brethren! The First Legion Unforgiven Chapter had a big weekend!  We actually had enough lists get X-results that I had to develop a criteria for which of them I'd include in an article. We even had an event winner, which obviously I'll start with. So, without further ado, here are the top Dark Angels lists of the weekend! The event winning list was played at Ironforged I, a 5-round, 32 player event held in Umeå, Sweden. Tim Nordin of Draknästet SK took the top spot with his Stormlance Task Force! Way to go Tim! You can see Tim's list on BCP. Our discussion of it is below. Wings of Purpouse - Dark Angels - Stormlance Task Force Lion Dad - Warlord Azrael Lieutenant with Combi-weapon Ravenwing Command Squad: Hunter's Instincts Ravenwing Command Squad: Feinting Withdrawal Ravenwing Command Squad Intercessor Squad: 5 bolter boys Scout Squad: 5 sneaky lads Invader ATV: melta buggy Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Outrider Squad: 3 choppy biker boys Outrider ...

Hello battle brethren! Another weekend is past us, and with it bitter defeats and glorious victories! We're here to discuss the latter, with my weekly roundup of the most successful Dark Angels lists of the weekend. Four lists went 4-1 over the weekend, with two of them being Wrath of the Rock lists, and the Stormlance Task Force coming back with the other two! We'll talk about the Stormlance lists first - get through discussing that grubby detachment that lesser chapters can use so we can get to the lists using our righteous bespoke detachment! The first of these was played at Capital Clash - Dakka Dakka!, a 5-round, 51 plyaer event held in Holt, ACT, Australia. Tim Neal of ACT 40K took 5th place with his Stormlance list. You can see the full list on BCP, and the short version starts off our discussion below. Clonestodes Azrael - Warlord Chaplain in Terminator Armour Chaplain in Terminator Armour Chaplain in Terminator Armour Lieutenant with Combi-weapon Ballistus Dreadnought...
