Combining the medieval romance of the questing chevalier with the raw firepower of a 40-foot-tall mech suit, Imperial Knights join battle bedecked with pennants and decorated with livery that proclaims their lineal oaths, their rolls of honour, and histories of conquest.

Each one is many centuries old, a relic of ancient technology, maintained by the devotion of generations of tech adepts, and ridden into war by the scions of a venerable knightly household. In the far future of Warhammer 40k, Imperial Knights are effectively prehistoric artefacts of war. Each Knight is a huge warsuit constructed of impregnable adamantium, bearing weapons capable of tearing open battle tanks and rending down fortress walls. To prepare you for leading an Imperial Knights army of your own, this guide has details of the Imperial Knights’ tactics, stratagems, and codex information, plus a run-down of the main Knight classes and their weapons. When Warhammer 40k’s Imperial Knights ride forth into battle, the ground shudders beneath their iron tread.
