Imperial Knights
Chivalry and Firepower: Imperial Knights
The Imperial Knights (or Questor Imperialis) are titanic, towering warmachines of destruction piloted by noble warriors from ancient feudal worlds. Standing stories tall, heavily armored, and wielding weapons capable of leveling entire city blocks, these walking fortresses are a terrifying sight on the battlefield. Bound by strict codes of chivalry, honor, and duty, the pilots hook their minds directly into their massive mechanical steeds, marching to war alongside the armies of the Imperium to crush humanity's greatest foes beneath their massive iron tread.
How Do the Imperial Knights Play? (Playstyle Overview)
If you want to play a hyper-elite army consisting entirely of giant, stompy robots, the Imperial Knights are the ultimate choice. Because you only need a handful of models to field a complete army, they are incredibly fast and cost-effective to collect, paint, and get onto the tabletop—making them a massive favorite for beginners. Their playstyle relies on three main strengths:
- Colossal Titanic Power: Imperial Knights do not care about small arms fire. Boasting some of the highest toughness, wounds, and armor stats in Warhammer 40k, your massive war machines can confidently stride through a hail of enemy bullets completely unfazed, forcing your opponent to bring specialized anti-tank weapons just to scratch your paint.
- Code Chivalric (Army Oaths): This is their unique tactical mechanic. Before the game begins, you pledge your army to noble oaths, such as defending the weak or hunting enemy monsters. Fulfilling these heroic deeds mid-battle unlocks powerful "Honored" buffs that give your Knights army-wide bonuses, including extra command points and improved defenses.
- Perfect Quality Over Quantity: While a typical opponent might field 50 to 100 infantry models, a full Imperial Knights army usually consists of just 3 to 6 massive models (combining massive Questoris-class Knights with smaller, pack-hunting Armiger squires). This makes the game incredibly simple for beginners to manage, as you have very few models to move, track, and roll dice for.
