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

=Special Characters=
==Gerantius (White Dwarf)==
A Knight Errant with a whole bunch of special rules: 

He has '''It Will Not Die''', giving him more longevity on the tabletop and may run & shoot the same way that Eldar can so he can either close the range with that Thermal Cannon more quickly, or retreat after firing to get out of counter attack range or move into cover. 

He may also re-roll '''1s''' on the Stomp Table, meaning that he is always going to have an effect in melee.

Not to mention the 3++ ion shield.

Although it says he does not use the rules for Knightly Ranks, he is automatically a Seneschal equivalent, but cannot be the army's warlord. This is a good thing because it then guarantees you '''two''' Seneschals in your Knight army straight off the bat.

==Obsidian Knight (Warzone Damocles: Mont'Ka)==
Only present in a mission in Mont'Ka, and unlike Gerantius there is no indication if he should be able to be taken in a Knight Detachment or as a Lord of War choice for other armies.

He is a Knight Paladin and comes with a few extra rules: WS/BS6 and With Preferred Enemy and Hatred (Tau) means that bluberries will get blended. BS6 also means far more accuracy with that Battlecannon, while his 3++ Ion Shield allows him to tank hits like a champ.

Bear in mind, despite his improved stat-line and as mentioned before, he doesn't "fit" anywhere in a Knight Detachment and therefore can't get any Heirlooms or fit in any formations.

FAQs say use the most up to date version of the rules available, so outside the mission you would use the ones from Warzone: Damocles, but he would only be usable in Apocalypse.

==Patriarch Tybalt (Apocalypse)==
While he has no statline/dataslate he is present in the rules and can be made from one of your Imperial Knights, regardless of what type of suit they are wearing, so if you've got a Lancer, go for it.

He's taken as an Apocalypse Stratagem, which upgrades one of your knights into him, automatically making them a Seneschal and granting him the choice of one of the available special rules: Adamantium Will, Crusader, Hatred, IWND, Monster Hunter, Rage, Rampage or Scout. May good close combat options there, but IWND makes his Knight just as survivable as Gerantius.

He also has a special Finest Hour if he's your warlord, in addition to the usual efects, any Knights within 12" become Seneschals for a turn, boosting their Ion Shields and WS/BS for the duration so is particularly good if you surrounded him with the Knights Apparent who would gain the greatest benefit from his experience.
