Opis
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 weaponry. Linked to their Noble pilots by the arcane Throne
Mechanicum, the Knights move with a speed and grace that should be impossible
for engines of their size, 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.
Knight Houses field great hosts of these majestic war machines,
from nimble Armiger-class squires to the implacable Dominus-class, and make
war steeped in their ancestors’ rich traditions. Some storied Houses can trace
their histories back before the coming of the Emperor, when their worlds were
beset by an Age of Darkness kept at bay only by the heroics of their forebears.
Others Imperial Knight pilots break from their noble Houses and set out on the
path of the Freeblade – commanding their Knight for personal gain, or joining a
Freeblade Lance to win renown across the galaxy.
This resplendent book
is a must-have for Imperial Knights players and collectors, as well as those
