Code Chivalric for Imperial Knights


The Imperial Knights are getting a new codex soon. Here is a look at the Code Chivalric martial codes based on Honour Points.

How can any warrior hope to take down a baleful machine bearing the Favour of the Dark Gods, you ask? The only way to fight such beasts is through steel and honour. To that end, the new Codex: Imperial Knights helps these valiant pilots draw upon the Code Chivalric, a stringent set of martial codes they follow during battle.

For a true scion of a Knight world, victory only matters if the code is upheld –  even against the treacherous Dread Households. If every unit in your army has the IMPERIAL KNIGHTS keyword,* and they’re all from the same Household (or FREEBLADES, who come and go as they please), then when building your army you must swear two different Oaths, chosen from a pool of four. 

Each Oath comes in four parts: a Pledge, a Troth, and two Chivalric abilities.

Fulfil your Pledges, and you’ll earn Honour points throughout the battle. You begin with one point, giving you access to Honoured abilities, but work your way up to five (or six) points and your Knights will gain powerful Virtuous abilities as their chivalry shines through.
