Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Imperial Knights (section)

=Why Play Imperial Knights=
Um... you have one? 

Most people will take Imperial Knights as allies to another force which works perfectly fine, unless your opponent thinks taking a super-heavy vehicle in regular games is OP, but remind him that that is just the way that 7th Edition works now and then slap his bitchface for insisting that his Wraithknight is still totally legit.

It takes a very rare player to be able to field an entire detachment of these guys, and the tactical effectiveness in regular 40k is dubious, since you have so few models.  With the 7E codex, their effectiveness has gone up considerably with the addition of carapace weapons and the Household Detachment gives every knight ObSec, making fielding them at least doable, if still considerably expensive. 

Admittedly though your models will be immune to non necron small-arms fire and any melee attacks of S6 or less. That is not an excuse to get complacent as each Knight lost will diminish your army considerably.

Also, the 7th Edition Codex update is here. So, what did 7th Edition bring for this force? We got 3 new Knights, 1 is focused on Dakka, 1 is a customizable hybrid, and one is all about close combat. Plus you also get the ability to put carapace weapons on Knight Paladins and Knight Errants, meaning you now have AA options. Also new relics and formations.

7th edition is out of date
