Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Imperial Knights (section)

====Burdens====
*'''Driven to Slaughter''' - BS is reduced to 6+ and cannot Fall Back.
**Tolerable on a Gallant or a Lancer, but anyone else...not so much. 
*'''Exiled in Shame''' - You can't use '''ANY''' stratagems on Freeblade with this burden. (including Command Point Re-roll).
**Not a huge issue as long as your strategy doesn’t rely on specific stratagems, but you may end up wishing you could make that Command Point Re-roll. And it’s helpful to choose as it’s -1 to your Burden Ld roll (ie helps you pass it) - I’m assuming GW thought it was super harsh that you can’t use stratagems so they made it harder for this burden to come into play. Won't affect any pre-battle stratagems you use, such as giving your Knight a relic, as the effects of the stratagem would have already been resolved before the Burden even has a chance to take effect.
*'''Haunted by Failure''' - You must re-roll hit rolls of 6.
**The most tolerable burden of all, though it does mean anything that would normally trigger on a hit roll of 6 won't work unless you roll another 6.
*'''Impetuous Nature''' - Whenever your {{W40Kkeyword|Freeblade}} moves, it must always do so towards the nearest enemy model, and also must declare charges against ''all'' enemy units within 12" unless it's already within 1" of an enemy.
**Slightly more manageable than Driven to Slaughter; the movement restrictions also technically disable falling back (since falling back is a type of movement and you obviously can't fall back towards an enemy) but it doesn't apply if you don't actually move, and while the mandatory charges can be an issue at least you can shoot things without a BS that make an Ork look like a Vindicare Assassin by comparison.
*'''Obsessed with Vengeance''' - Forces you both to target nearest visible enemy unit in the Shooting phase and be able to declare charges only against it in Charge phase.
*'''Weary Machine Spirit''' - Count half your wounds left for the purposes of your Damage Chart. Having stats degrading at double speed means you can't afford to lose a single wound.
**Auto-take for Mechanicus Knights, as they have access to Machine Spirit Resurgent
