Imperial Knights would be a welcome add on to the 40k game, and there are just a lot of people clamoring over the possibilities and what they are and who can use them. These would be fun, but how they will be implemented could mean a lot their success.
Please remember that these are rumors. While I have heard very little about Imperial Knights getting released here soon, 40k radio's source has confirmed they are indeed coming and that they will not be a part of the Imperial Guard codex, Astra Minitorum. Other than this bit, we have very little rumored information to go on.

Knight Kit
- Wraithknight sized (bulkier)
- Slightly hunched Imperial appearance
- Head in chest

- Comes with multiple arm weapons (you can mount 2)
a) Multi-barreled "gatling" styled weapon

We rate this set as medium-low reliability coming from a mix of known and unknown sources.
There has been talk of a plastic Knight somewhere in the GW design schedule for many months now. If you recall it was hyped to be the "big kit" to accompany the Space Marine, then IG release, but current rumor-chatter places it as the key release in March as a standalone kit that can be fielded via dataslate with a variety of armies.
