Imperial Knight Lancer Rumors


Forgeworld has been rumored to expand upon the Imperial Knights in some way, and today we have the first rumors that they will be doing just that. An Imperial Knight Lancer is said to be on the way from Forgeworld later this year.


Please remember that this is a rumor, and salt is required.
