Codex: Imperial Knights

Description Codex: Imperial Knights Codex: Imperial Knights The Imperial Knights march to war with earth-shaking footfalls, towering over mortal soldiers and lesser machines. Each Knight is a towering engine of destruction, a bipedal killing machine bristling with firepower and devastating close-quarters weapons. Noble pilots are linked to their Titan by the arcane Throne Mechanicum. These Knights move with a speed and grace that should be impossible for engines of their size. They are guided by the Code Chivalric to wipe the Imperium’s enemies clean from the galaxy with thunderous gouts of flame. Their glory is that of Humanity’s golden age, and none can resist their titanic charge. The Great Houses Knight Houses field great hosts of these majestic war machines. From nimble Armiger-class squires to the implacable Dominus-class knights. They make war steeped in their ancestors’ rich traditions. Some storied Houses can trace their histories back before the coming of the Emperor. This was a time when their worlds were beset by an Age of Darkness. Only the heroics of their forebears kept this Darkness at bay. Others Imperial Knight pilots break from their noble Houses and set out on the path of the Freeblade. They command their Knight for personal gain, or they join a Freeblade Lance to win renown across the galaxy.
