What could be more iconic for the Warhammer 40,000 universe than Imperial Knights? This weekend sees the release of the new, expanded Knight Defender kit, and to celebrate we’ve gathered together our top five knightly posts. Expect must-see model showcases, a handy magnetising guide, and much more.
Without further ado, here are the best posts from over 15 years of Tale of Painters:
1. A colossal collection
And what’s better than a single Knight? Why, five of course. Haywire Grenade presents his beautiful questing army, painted for a narrative Warhammer World event.
2. The knightly review
Of course, we’ve also taken a closer look at the brand-new Knight Defender kit with a full unboxing. Which new options have been added, and are all the classic weapon loadouts still included? Find out here.
3. Howling with the wolves
With the help of custom-designed and 3D-printed bitz, ComradeQuiche has built a unique Fenrys-pattern Knight – one you won’t want to miss.
4. How to magnetise Imperial Knights
Imperial Knights come with a staggering array of weapons and posing possibilities, and Silvernome shows you how to make the most of them with some clever magnet work.
5. A yellow eye catcher
Last but by no means least, feast your eyes on Garfy’s glorious House Hawkshroud Knight, resplendent in his favourite colour: a bold and brilliant yellow.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this round-up and that it might have inspired you to start or expand your own Imperial Knights collection.
