The Imperial Knights, or Questor Imperialis in High Gothic, are piloted robotic combat walkers of medium size in the service of the Imperium and sometimes the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Each Knight is piloted by a single Human warrior drawn from an ancient feudal aristocratic culture that stretches across the galaxy.
However, a Knight is smaller and less capable in combat than even the smallest class of true Titan utilised by the Collegia Titanica, the Warhound-class Scout Titan. Knights normally deploy in squadrons comprised of several of these war machines.
These ancient battlesuits stand thirty to forty Terran feet (9 to 12 metres) tall, are protected by nearly impenetrable Ion Shields and armed with a devastating array of heavy weapons.
Imperial Knights are colossal war machines that tower over the battlefield. They are propelled into battle by powerful servos and have the power to kick over tanks and crush soldiers into red paste. - บันเทิง

Thank you, Shy!
Space Wolves when?
Time to push the Rylanor episode back a bit.
Rylanor when?
"how strong was golden age humanity?" Apparently, they got the Orks to agree to a Non-Agression Pact . . . and stick to it.
Not just apparently fully made them to surrender essentially
The eldar feared them, now they think there apes in armor

@@homelesssuperman257 Not really, the Eldar beat DAoT Humanity from the little info we have. For the most part I like to think that it was a situation that the Eldar COULD have destroyed the DAoT Humanity that the cost to everyone involved wouldn't have been worth it.
"The fewer words an imperial knight's name has, the more dangerous it is. You don’t want to be on the wrong end of Dark King Grûtmore’s Edge of Annihilation, don’t get me wrong, but you FOR SURE don’t want to be on the wrong end of something called The Throngler."

This does beg the question, what *is* throngling?
@@randomnerd4211 if you have to ask, you aren't yet cursed with knowledge of the answer
Congrats i just google that one.
And yes, amidst those of fanciful name, beware of imperial knight, named simply as "Dave".
Is the Throngler a Slaanesh chaos knight, by any chance?
Bricky: "The most knightly you can get, except for dark angles"
Me(a *black templar* player): sad *crusading* noises
Fear not brother, for the emperor sees all that transpires in his domain.
(Personal opinion) If I had to rank them Dark Angels are first, imperial knights are second and black templars are third in terms of knightly ness.
@@ronandos2259 you can be wrong, its ok. All joking aside, plasma motorcycle boys are not as knightly as literally knights and mad lads who think guns are for nerds.
Knights
Templar
Dark Angels
@@DelightfulTyrant sure, ok I respect your opinion.
@@ronandos2259 of course you do. He's Sly Marbo.

It always puts a smile on my face hearing/reading about “old humanity” having and using “necron level bullshit”.
I once heard Majorkill say that Golden Age Tech made Necron Tech look like children's toys.
@@NathanMarcusSPhua nah the reverse.
@@NathanMarcusSPhua depends, most lore is just propaganda. The Eldar think they were the peak, so do the necron, so do the humies.

Pacific Rim 40k
Step 1: redirect a Tyranid Hive Fleet to a Knight World
Step 2: unleash a bioweapon that kills smaller Tyranid lifeforms
Step 3: let them fight.
Draft plan: call Ciaphus Cain for Escort duty
This is great and all, but wouldn't it look more like pacific rim if it was tau battlesuits? Knights look nothing like Jaegers, but something like a crisis suit or riptide would look like a newer one (i.e. striker eureka)
Rayhan Kazianga Pacific Rim has Jaegers pinching the shit out of the Kaiju, have fun finding a T’au other than The Farsight Enclaves going anywhere near a Tyranid.
I'd say that would fit Eldar wraithknights and their titans the most. They have the mobility and can effectively engage in melee.
Kaijus battle more like
"Regret your mistakes!..." "...And accept your punishment!"

Why can I see this as a 40k team Rocket
@@robberyproductions1363 Now I'm picturing an Imperator firing a full forward fusilade in their general direction, and they just go sailing into the sky.
To emphasize how far back the Imperium has regressed, the Leman Russ Battle Tank is in fact, derived from a tractor. It may be a nod to tank history, but it’s hilarious that one of mankind’s commonplace and mainstay war machines is in fact, supposed to be a tractor
Bob Semple Tank with lasguns.
The Canon of Warhammer is made up as they go.
Mostly in jokes.
And as much madness as possible.
Frankly given the firepower? The old military was probably AI managed warships plying the stars and cleansing the Galaxy of threats to humanity.
With the betrayal of the men of iron, humans lost their primary weapon to defend themselves.
And have been exploring new ways to fight ever since.
Also a Baneblade used to be considered a *light* tank now it's a super heavy tank.
I’m pretty sure Drednaughts were mining equipment
@@S3verusMyG Terminators actually.
My favorite piece of lore from the 8th ed timeline.
Lone Guardian
"Sir Yannil of House Derthos swears
an oath to stand guard over the beset
mining colonies on the moon of Tandosa.
Enthroned within Tower of Strength, his
Knight Castellan, Yannil sees off repeated
attacks by Drukhari pirates. Outraged at
the intervention by Yannil and his ironclad
behemoth, the leaders of the Drukhari
raiding parties send a force of swift
gunships and agile fighter-craft to eliminate
the impediment once and for all. Engaging
his airborne tormentors as best he can,
Yannil sends a missive to House Derthos
for aid, then digs in and vows to hold his
ground until he is relieved.
It is a week later that Knights of House
Derthos reach Tandosa. They find Tower of
Strength still standing, ravaged by energy
blasts and explosives, its pilot clinging to
life by a thread. Around him are scattered
the wrecks of the Drukhari vessels,
eliminated to the last."
Now that's _Metal_
Yo, lots of Drukhari here, can I get some help........ cleaning up the bodies?
*Cocks Battle cannon*
COME AT ME WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT AND TRY NOT TO DIE
Hes a massive badass to be able to yeet the most agile dickheads in the galaxy while in a giant tin can
@@SGT_Bubba I think leaving it at "All I am surrounded by is Fear" and nothing more wouldve sounded better
To put into persepective how powerful humanity was in its prime.
They signed a non-agression pact with ORKS.
They were so OP that orks didn't see any fun in fighting them so they left them alone.
Which in the contest of 40k it makes no sense, since Orks tend to become much stronger fighting stronger opponents so by that logic they would want to fight humanity even more
@@paul1113 I mean, Orks grow off of violence and war. If you get a black hole shot at you from a million miles away, there's really nothing to grow on.
@@rayhankazianga6817 maybe so, but i doubt orks mind can even COMPREHEND the concept of a non-agression pact
@@paul1113 probably something along the lines of "don't go near those humiz you'll get zapped and not even have a good scrap for your trouble!"
@@paul1113 Orks have to actually fight back to grow, the humans used to absolutely annihilate them. Even the Eldar at their peak didn't want to fight golden age humanity.
These warriors carry the might and faith of a well reinforced wall. An essential part of any defensive line, one of my personal favorites.

Next series for Bricky. Bricky learns Battletech
Pros: Giant Robots & Noble Houses
Cons: Not as ridiculous as 40K
I'd compare Warhammer 40k knight worlds to the manga Five Star Stories by Mamoru Nagano.
"And in this episode, Bricky learns about CLAN SMOKE JAGUAR!"
@@VallornDeathblade next time remember to pay your HPG bills
“Imagine 40k toned down from 11 to about a 4. Replace STCs with GM’s R&D Dept. and the Inquisition with Comcast. That’s the gist of Battletech.”
@@pretzelbomb6105 Fair. Also place heavy emphasis on mechs and mercs. I would be down for them learning about Battletech (especially since they're less likely to get smacked with a copyright claim).
Can we actually get fanart of the Imperial Knight Couple that Bricky was thinking about? Like unironically that sounds both badass and sweet, and if 40K is gonna have sweet, it oughta be badass and sweet
I would do it myself but I lack the talent required, so I beseech the artists in the community
Maybe a Romeo and Juliet type deal, with them being from rival houses, but ironically happy despite 40k.
Same
@Bthsr71 I immediately though "two house, both alike in dignity". It's an old trope but it still works and I hope he does it.
@@bthsr7113 god that sounds awesome, two freeblades that renounced their oaths due to their love for eachother, now fighting together and ruthlessly destroying the enemies of mankind

I want a knight to run in every army. Custodes, Astartes, Heretics, everything. They're so cool.
Can't wait until I can afford one.
A box of armigirs is about $60 and gets ya 2 knights
I feel that. I want a shadow sword tank but it’s 140 bucks for the model itself without the paint.
Do you need both of your kidneys?
Genestealer cult Knights :O
@@captain-commander8138 yes, kinda
The idea that stuff like Terminator armor, knights and other insane tech was used for labor might sound insane.
But if we take a look at some of the insane machinery we in the real world have made for mining, logging, excavation, etc and then imagine these monsters dropped into the medieval age then you basically have a super weapon or mobile fortress.
The bagger 288 excavator is the closest thing we have to an imperial knight or even Titan right now. The Caterpillar mining truck is basically an unstoppable fortress on wheels and they have literally made real life walkers for logging machine.
I mean, 1632 literally turned caterpillar dump trucks into APCs. And used a lawnmower engine to power a train for small gauge rails. And so much more. Good series, but it may spoil a good chunk of the isekai genre for you.
@@bthsr7113 There needs to be isekais with whole towns being transported instead
@@bthsr7113sounds awesome
RE: Knights with warhorns. There's a short story called The Binary Succession and the audiobook version fucks because as the Mechanicus Titan starts stomping toward the Imperial Lord parliament it keeps blaring its horn, and it gets louder and louder as it stomps closer and everyone in the palace is losing their minds while the Mechanicus just sit there like 'lol, lmao'
Now I can't help but imagine all Knights as all having just Gaston as the pilot
NO ONE CRUSHES HERETICS LIKE GASTON!
NO ONE PURGES LIKE GASTON!
NO ONE QUITE CRUISES THROUGH RITES LIKE GASTON
Me, working on a Fanfic based in TTS, and realizing that Alpha hasn't portrayed Knights yet.
"Oh yeah, its all coming together."
Gaston is honestly a better outcome than some of the other theoretical possibilities, like a Joffery type getting a new Knight Crusader and that being the founding mental template. Gaston at least has SOME reasons to be proud of himself.
Bricky's freeblade couple would be hella fun to see. Big knight petting lil knight and all that, throw in a laugh
An idea I had recently was basically the Imperial Knight equivalent to the Legion of the Damned (because if it's warp ghosts, why should the Space Marines have all the fun?). They'd be Knights and their pilots who were lost in the warp, and arrive when the situation is most dire. Human forces look up to see a giant burning robot with a skull for a faceplate, shooting literal hellfire at their enemies.
I'd call them House Goetia, with each robot being named for a different demon. The Stolas, the Belith, the Andrealphus. Three Armigers would be called the Cerebus Squad, named Right Head, Left Head, and Center Head. Paint stylized images of the relevant demon on their carapace, and their shields would be emblazoned with the demon's sigil.
None of this is Chaos, I must remind. It would just be rad as heck. Even when damned to hell, they continue to serve the Emperor.
There's some one who did such knight on Reddit somewhere
The Obsidian Knight is already kind of the Knight Legion of the damned. It has been confirmed destroyed at least once but continues to reappear.
That's freaking rad you could use some chaos knight parts perhaps.
And we'll call it "Into the Breach"
I love this idea, the source is similar to Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans
If you ever seen that anime "Vision of Escaflowne", you've seen a knight world. Hell, at one point in the story they even call down spaceship to repair the titular mech, filled with guys who bear a striking resemblance to the mechanicus, and pay them in agricultural goods.
I have never heard of this anime, but now I must
I have been trying to remember this anime's name for a while, thank you!
I'll check it out
I like the idea of Bricky's knight couple concept. Maybe they could be a Romeo and Juliet type situation, the children of two rival houses who managed to get knights and eloped together to become freeblades.
Two knights from rival houses are sent to the same battlefeild. Houses demand they sabotage each other but they don't because the war is more important. The pilots never meet during the war but learn to respect each other for their honor, ability and courage. They finally meet at the victory party and fall in love. Houses want them to fight each other over some old grudge no one remembers, but they become freeblades instead because protecting the Imperium is more important than house squabbles.
@@joehonan1773 ooo I love that
@@joehonan1773 Made even better as they have the voices of their relatives in their head. Meaning the pilots of the knights over generations never had real beef with the other house and it was the non-pilots stirring up crap.
@@Nempo13bruv😂 so many ideas
Imperial Knights should be in a dawn of War game being it's own fraction.
Shame dawn of War 3 essentially died
They'll probably get added in eventually to Unification Mod
They are already in Unification
Like 3/4? Or should it be like 2/5?
They in Dawn of war but as a mod, they are not their own faction but a very expensive unit, they pretty cool
Cool things I don't think Bricky touched on but I am so soy infused that I know way to much about this shit.
>It's kinda implied that, during the ritual of becoming, the knight has to CHOOSE you and basically the type of knight you get is based on your personality. If you're a boisterous, combative, angry guy you get the gallant, if you're quiet and reserved you get the crusader, etc.
>The Iron Warrior Obliterator virus works on Knights and that's how chaos knights are made.
>Knights have machine spirits so strong they can basically act without a pilot. When Sir Hektur was captured by the Iron Warriors, his knight "Canis Rex" blew through like half the ship to save him.
>Knights are named like boats used to be, things like "Fist of Iron"
>Knights frequently swear Oaths, which they carry out to a tee. One time a Knight Castellan stood vigil over a planet for like 200 years and fought off a Drukhari raid all by himself.
>The knight Preceptor is basically in charge of training new knights and watching after the Armigers, which are essentially squires.
>Armigers don't go through the Ritual of Becoming because they don't have a Throne Mechanicum. They wear something called a Helm Dominatus, which allows them to control the knight but they can be overridden by their superiors and basically mind-controlled like Skitarii. I know the Questor Mechanicus does this alot, but I think the Questor Imperialis kinda doesn't as much?
>The knight valiant is cool and you cannot convince me otherwise.
>I think House Raven has the STC for one of their knights like the warden or something and someone's job is just to spam that mf like no tomorrow.
>Freeblades are cool because they leave their house to go on a world tour for their own sake and sometimes they come back and their house takes them back because they did something dope.
>The Obisidian Knight spends his free time fucking up Tau and is (maybe) a perpetual because his knight dies like twice but always comes back and a knight that is a perpetual with his suit is fucking dope.
>The leader of a knight house is called the High King lol.
>During the Damocles Crusade, a knight named Montagne fell off a cliff but the High King Tybalt used his thunderstrike gauntlet to catch him and pull him back up. He later said "You're supposed to save my life, Montagne, not the other way around!"
>Also death grip is really funny because it's basically an extra attack so if there's like one guardsman in a squad left and you need the objective he's on you can like pick him up and chuck him into space with the little Smash Bros *wink* into the distance lol
>the thundercoil harpoon is the only weapon in the tabletop with a native AP -6
god I love knights dude they're so cool.
Oh yeah also considering Knights don’t have hands and their only option for one is the thunderstrike gauntlet, it is implied that it is just someone’s job to pick everyone else up if they fall over.
aww, knights are like dogs in a weird way
Goddamn knights are rad
I know this comment was made 4 months ago but
THE OBLITERATOR VIRUS WORKS ON KNIGHTS?!?!?!
This makes me think of Perturabo
I do NOT like thinking of Perturabo
@@lertox00 Yeah man that's how Canis Rex and Sir Hektur's house got destroyed.
I look forward to Bricky trying to explain the 30 different variants of questoris-class and what the difference is.
The weapons
The ion shields doesn’t cover the Knight in its entirety but can be moved around like a virtual shield to deflect shots. The ion shields main ability is to deflect attacks or slow down shots to lessen damage. The void shield on the other hand, covers the entire machine or structure and absorbs attacks. Titans and ships use void shields while Knights use ion shields.
Bricky definitely needs to make that Freeblade couple the centerpiece of an army.
...Actually, go one step further. Make two Chaos Knights with similar heraldry, but paint them up as two different Chaos factions so you can take them in separate armies, and joke about how the couple is spending time apart whenever you can only bring one to a game.
My favorite moments of knights I think was during "Titan Death" the biggest Titan battle and the Titans wanted to retreat but the hordes of knights were like CHARGE and got vaporized by the thousands cuz they refused to retreat so the Titans changed their minds to help.
I thought that was the defense of Ryza, not titan death.
@@andrewhughes7181 I'm not sure. Probably
It was the Defense of Ryza, the moment where the Knights shamed the Titans by going full LEEROOOY JENKINS at Chaos.
@@Jamhael1 Much love
Since they came up again, I wanted to mention my favourite theory about machine spirits
I read somewhere online that machine spirits might be the remnants of AI that the techpriests couldn't eliminate. The theory says that all technology had AI, and thought the Mechanicus tries they couldn't get rid of it all. So for smaller machines the AI is more basic and needs just a little bit of adoration to work, but for titans or other massive machine spirits theres a lot more AI left and they want more worship to work, so the AdMech praying and offering things and burning incense actually has a purpose.
Good theory. But doesn't explain how a tech priest can literally talk a machine into functionality. Like a broken gear fixing itself
@@peppyclown7406 But it does. By giving the machine praise the tech priest is praising the semi-dormant AI which confides it into working and self-healing, probably some nanobot technology from the daot
That would be ironic since the AdMech claim AI doesn't have a real machine spirit.
@@thelordchancellor3454 are you saying all technology in the imperium is nanotechnology because that’s dumb
@@biggestfan883 maybe not the whole thing but maybe some auto healing nano bots or similar technology, some way of repairing itself
i hope we might get like a miscellaneous marines episode
like chapters that are interisting but not enough written for it to be like a full episode, maybe come with like extra parts and such
i hope they cover the legion of the damned chapter
Obvious choices being
Space sharks- lamenters tie in
Blood ravens(a good way to announce/denounce the gaming aspects of adeptus redicolous)
Minotaurs- just a bit more world building
Or the best one for this, black templars so he can infer/refer alot of info from/for the necrons
I want them to wait on the Legion of the Damned until after they’ve done Rylanor (+1 day) so we can discuss the ~~head canon~~ fact that Rylanor is in the Legion of the Damned.
I'd like to have them talk about the Black Dragons.
The most 'Standard' type of money that the Imperium uses on a Interstellar level, aka not used by commoners but used by Noble Houses, Interstellar Trading Merchants, and other high level players is a credit system called 'Thrones'.
But even these aren't used everywhere.
My experience with knights:
“Wow, these look cool. Oh, $140 for one.”
And that was the end.
I've heard 3d printing is an option, though that's for those who want lots of minis.
60 bucks on ebay included shipping
Only 140??? Damn I should’ve started 2 years ago
The "Battletech was popular" faction.
Noble houses, old-ass few stories tall mechas, big guns and fists, groups of 3 to 5... that's just an Inner Sphere Assault Lance, isn't it? That there are often a group of smaller ones around (AKA a Recon or Skirmish Lance) is just the cherry on the cake.
Good ol' 40K. Never noticed how much that part of the setting was copied over until now.
Damn, never thought of that. I guess their strategy of little guys covering the big guys is like some Owens covering an Atlas or something
Just consider yourself lucky they have not "invented" a totallty new game called Mechhammer or Knightwarrior. Well, or at least not yet... Stealing from something like Dune is one thing, that is a different business model, but literally copy another tabletop game? While complaining about copyright all day? GW must have balls of finecast...
@@doesntmatter5857 And a thousand legal team representatives sacrificed every day to the Golden Throne of GW's patent office
@@doesntmatter5857 They DID copy it, it failed as they couldn't compete with the original. There is a 40k table top game that is nothing but knights and titans. It is OLD as they abandoned it due to not being able to really get anywhere. You can still find the starter kits for them in some game shops that haven't been sold for 30 years.
@@Nempo13how many table top games even exist? Like is the market as competitive like video games? 😂 And why is everything so expensive!?
Titans and princepts are represented extremely well in the Hellsreach fan-made movie on TH-cam - especially towards the end of the movie where the animation improves
1:10:55
One of the funniest things I've ever heard was one of my buddies was fighting gardsman (in table top) and they had killed all the tanks and armor. He still had the harpoon so he just said "fuck this one gard in particular" and shot the one gardaman with the harpoon just because he could.
A very knight thing to do. Honor, what a good joke.
16:35 thats from Forge of Mars. It was a chronoweapon that destroyed the eldar vessels solar sail dooming it to a slow death. And yes, it was a self defense mechanism. It brought out the big guns at the end of the book to crack a planet and destroy some necron thing i presume was a shard.
If Bricky does his Freeblade Couple, he should have 1-2 armigers as their kid or kids, so he can field them as a knight Lance.
Now I'm just imagining a medieval battlefield but one side shows up with priests that are ritualisticly turning on a backhoe, then an elite warrior gets in and drives it at the enemy and starts squishing people.
Thrones, the imperial currency as I best recall is thrones. Not always accepted, can't always convert them, but they are the general currency of the Empire.
*I think.
There is no standard currency, but throne gelt, or shortened to thrones (much as pound sterling is referred to as pounds). The administratum doesn't use currency, but the might of the emperor. They take what they need.
[Looks at my unpainted Knight Castellan in shame] I'm just afraid of ruining it 😭
The trick is to make the opponent shoot something else first so you can at least get one shot off.
It’s 2 years later. I’m curious. Have you painted it yet?
Praise to the Emperor and The Machine God for blessing us with the glory of the Imperial Knights
HONOUR THY FORGE, HONOUR THE PRIMUS ORDINUS. -Motto of House Taranis, guardians of Mars, the first knights to greet the Emperor of Man and the bane of arch-traitor Kelbor-Hal
Bricky, The Couples Knight idea with perhaps even a couple warglaives as adopted siblings would be a cool idea. Do it. Make your dreams a reality! I'm trying to make a fallen T'au Sept that works with orks. Anything is possible!
I hear that House Griffith have a tendency to go _Berserk_ while House Hawkshround tend to _band_ together.
I also want to point out one of the best 40k games is a mobile game (PUT DOWN THE PITCHFORKS!) called Freeblade where you play as the last survivor of a Knight Household that is indebted to the Dark Angels who saved them after their homeworld fell to the forces of Khorne. For a mobile game it's absolutely fucking amazing and I wish there was a pc port. It's basically a rail shooter where you get to stomp through a city or whatever mowing down plebs until something big comes along like a Deff Dread or a Brass Scorpion, the perspective changes and you _charge_ the thing like a knight on horseback complete with a skill based minigame of aiming for a one shot kill. It's _so_ cool.
Freeblade is a pretty cool game.
i was jus thinking of a story where a dark angels successor marine (possibly one of the remaining celestial Lions) ends up on a knight world or fighting chaos knights.
Freeblade... was ok. A decent 40k themed on rails shooter.

Thought I'd share the description of a knight desecrator from the 8th ed chaos Knight codex
"Bow waves of horror and despair roll before the advance of the Knights Desecrator. With every ground-shaking footfall the enemy know that their doom draws closer, for these malefic war engines hunt their prey with a spite-fuelled efficiency that is monstrous to behold. No living thing is spared, no victim considered too mighty or too meagre to escape the notice of the Knights. With methodical ruthlessness they crack open every strongpoint, lay bare every scrap of cover and scour their enemies from the battlefield down to the last hapless victim.
Obsession is common amongst the servants of Chaos; amongst the Fallen Nobles who pilot Knights Desecrator it finds expression in a desire to relentlessly annihilate every trace of their enemies. For such murderous butchers it is not enough to simply defeat the foe. They must fell every opposing war engine, blasting and crushing their mechanical targets until nothing but smouldering scrap remains. They must level every fortification and trample its ruins to rubble, massacre every last warrior who stands against them or flees before their wrath, then tear down every temple, monument, dwelling and structure, every trace that their enemies ever existed. Only once their foes' holdings are reduced to blasted wastelands and their enemies lie piled in corpse-mountains high enough to blot out the stars do the Knights Desecrator know even a moment's satisfaction. Even then it is fleeting, for until the entire Imperium is reduced to ruin, these Fallen Nobles will know no peace.
Knights Desecrator possess potent mid-to close range armaments that lend themselves towards duelling enemy war engines or monstrous beasts, or tearing down the foe's fortifications. One limb typically ends in a taloned thunderstrike gauntlet that can be used to crush, pulverise and rake their enemies, or even to heft the crumpled wreckage of a battle tank and hurl it bouncing and rolling through the foe to lethal effect.
The Desecrator's other primary armament is the fearsome laser destructor. Boasting considerable range for a focused beam weapon, the laser destructor packs a tremendous punch. Each shot is preceded by a rising banshee wail as energy flickers about the weapon's muzzle, before it discharges with a crack like mountains splitting Where the laser destructor's actinic blast strikes home, armour vaporises and flesh sublimates to steam in a heartbeat. The weapon is capable of coring a foot-wide hole through solid adamantine from a thousand yards away, and the irregular overpulses that race down its beam can blast apart even the heaviest targets with sudden and unpredictable eruptions of energy.
Those Fallen Nobles who pilot Knights Desecrator are all cruel despots, well disposed to imposing their tyrannical will upon others. They often hold the metaphysical leashes of allied War Dogs. With their thralls' Helms Mechanicum slaved to their warped Thrones, the Fallen Nobles coordinate vicious flanking manoeuvres and volleys of enfilading fire from the War Dogs that drive their enemies from cover. So are even the best dug-in foes flushed out to be crushed beneath the Knights Desecrator's trampling feet or mowed down by their chattering point defence stubbers. After all, none can be permitted to survive the Chaos Knights' wrath; only death can remain in their wake."
The Council has awarded this video one singular pogger.
Imperial Knights is just Titanfall in 40k, and I fucking love it.
ehhhhhhhhh
There are substantial differences.
Hearing Bricky's excitement over the harpoon having -6 AP makes me wonder how he'd feel about how Tyrannids can get AP -8 using a Carnifex Acid Maw with Monsterous size, Focal Essence, and Aggressive adaptation (even if it is as far from a smart thing to do as things get)
I honestly think that Knight Oc’s are some of the coolest 40k oc’s out there.
My main two:
A Freeblade who drives the old fashion Cerastus Knight Lancer, named Horizon’s Lance, Sir Gathel Morrus, of the fallen house Morrus.
The other is a chaos knight, named Lord Ruthal, who is a devotee to Khorne. He drives a Knight Rampager (a chaos gallant), he named his Knight “The Bloody Tyrant,” and he’s the self proclaimed “Gladiator of Khorne.” He has been known to work with World Eaters as well.
I now demand a forge world model of Bricky's idea for the freeblade couple and a painting stream for them

Women in knights is incredibly common , house Devine had many female knights. I think 🤔 the book was called mechanicum , in the horus heresy books 📚 as most knight houses are literally family it would be crazy 🤪 not to have women pilot the knights. Also being bonded with a knight is not a certainty , some family members can't be bonded. One of house devine could not be bonded and he was effectively shunned by the family
I mean, the robot does the heavy lifting so why bother with sexism
The pilot doesnt need to be swole or anything to make heretic paste and flex in the name of the emperor
Yeah, there's many female princeps piloting titans as well.
@@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062 Yeah here its more about the pilot's mental prowess and tactical thinking that can really add something to the sundering firepower at their disposal.
I chalk the chauvinism present/assumed in knightly houses up to 2 things
1 Assuming the neo-feudalism of the knightly houses would be as rigidly gendered as the historical source material.
2 present day sexism in the writers.
In Master of Mankind or whatever it was called there was that one Knight Baroness.
I cannot believe I missed such a fucking bomb-ass quote from bricky, the Death Grips connoisseur due to homework. Amazing video as always guys.
Can you Chad's cover some regiments of renown for the Imperial Guard? Like the mordant acid dogs? Or the Armageddon Ork Hunters?
One day kings, we will NOT get the blood angels, because someone keeps asking. But at some point, more imperial guard regiments will be covered.
I hope we get a Malcadort he Sigillite episode
I know it's not canon, but at some point you gotta do the Angry Marines! Great example of the fandom coming up with their own stuff...
Because it didn't really come up: The Armigers are the "young" Knights. They're basically squires. They train beside the bigger Knights and if you are a good enough Armiger pilot, you get the chance to pilot one of the bigger Knights. That's also the reason the Armigers often are kind of aggressive and overconfident, always willing to show their skill and courage so they get the bigger toys quicker.
This is represented pretty well in the new Knights Codex.
I cant wait for these two to do a Iron Hands Podcast The Flesh Is Weak
A great representative of two imperial knights is the fan amination a gentlemen's duel, its steampunk not 40k but it works
I can imagine if the imperium ran into Klingons
Either the astartes or the imperial knights would probably get into a war with them over who is more honorable
They might initially assume them to be a stable mutation of humanity. This would only last as long as the Klingons would allow (not long) and the Imperium would wipe the Klingons out utterly and completely.
@@pretzelbomb6105 probably , this each side would be yelling and arguing at each other over who is more honorable in war
@@pretzelbomb6105 such a war would probably be started over some petty insult to one or the others honor
Techpriest: Your big robot is cool. I like big robots.
Knight Pilot: Yeah. Wanna hold hands?
Techpriest: ...'K.
I think we just filled in a really big gap in dk's knowledge
*WHY ARE YOU BUYING KNIGHTS AT THE SOUP STORE?!?*
1:06:10 Even better, get a pair of Armigers that are the couples children, you could potentially have a full 2000 point army that is just this Freeblade family
D'aw
"Why are you buying imperial nights at the soup store!?"
"f* you!"
Brickys OC but its a romeo and juliet story where they come from two warring houses and eventually go freeblade fighting together.
It should be noted that despite a chainsword working for logging knights during the dark age of technology would have been outfitted with dedicated logging equipment or dedicated mining equipment so they might have had something adjacent to a plasma. Lance, but it's not meant for melting armor. It's going to be meant for digging through rock and they will accompany that with some sort of arm or some sort of shovel and same thing with a logging ax. They would have a large basically a normal chainsaw and a large grabbing hand for moving logs around.
Also, on the topic of shielding a void shield shunts incoming kinetic energy into the warp, an ion shield tries to transfer that energy into light, so they're too slightly different mechanisms. The ion shield is going to generally be weaker and is not going to be able to absorb as much punishment before falling and it also may not be able to encompass as big of a area as a void shield
I don't own any models but I'm a massive fan of the lore
It be cool if dark age of technology factions served and formed it own army like it just out in space some where . Or video on the dark age
Bricky, as someone who’s been making a bunch of 40k characters for my fan chapter, love that concept for the knights, it’s really cool
I tried to skim through comments and I couldn't spot anyone saying this...so
Um actually... T8 isn't highest toughness. There are at least two vehicles with T9 Warlord titan and Mastodon(that space marine super heavy transport).
Of course I'll have to admit that this is bit of a moot point since Warlord is 5.5k points and who would take 800 point transport.
Remember: Not all victories are standard. Making a Custodian lose morale or tanking attacks from every single unit your enemy has in one turn are perfectly valid reasons to plan your army around.
I would, I have way too much infantry. Shoving them all in one big carrier is fine with me.
I knew they wouldn’t cover the forge world knights, but I was really hoping they would. Wanted to see them talk about my big tall boys & my huge chunky gun man.
Or the questoris nasties armed with lightning and radiation.
*Staring in Cerastus and Acastus Knight patterns*
*My Porphyrion's "The Venator" Magna Lascannons are charging up*
Now this is a sentry worth protecting from sappers
If I recall right I vaguely remember reading something concerning the economy of the Imperium and they mentioned the word 'thrones' when talking of money.
"How do they pay for it?"
The considering how fascist the Imperium is even at the best of times, I'd imagine the economy is probably corporatist (or mercantalist or otherwise syndicalist) in nature, meaning so long as you make a request of the Administratum for stuff and they approve of it, you'll get that thing regardless of how many slaves, serfs, peasants, hivescum, or ecosystems need to die in order to get it.
This is also partly why the inequality between the classes on many worlds is so massive. Because if you're a corrupt noble who's practically enslaved the entire planetary population in the name of producing some kind of good or item the Imperium wants, and you have a corrupt administratum clerk in your pocket who can get you whatever you want, then you can live in complete unbridled opulance with little to no concern or opposition. Markets? Capitalism? Competition? That's for peasants and hivers who have to actually work for a living (and even then, depending on the way the planet is managed, that would only be a secondary economy since chances are everyone would just have their appointed rations and housing and that's it and would be shot by enforcers or arbites should they complain about it). Meanwhile if you're born into the nobility of the planetary elites or governorship with an aurumite spoon in your mouth, you don't have to worry about that stuff. You just ask for that stuff from your Administratum clerk while reminding him about the horrible things you'll do to him and/or his family should he fail to get you the 800 gem-crusted space-flamingo tongues that you plan to scarf down singlehandedly for next week's noble ball/feast/orgy to celebrate the inauguration of your 50th coliseum/execution ground/blood-orgy hall that you just had built because you got bored of the last 49 and decided to gift some of them to some lesser nobles that are in your favour because of the weird thing they did during the last orgy.
So no DK, I don't think the knight houses have to pay much for building and maintanance for the Knights, especailly since they'd be on the high priority waiting lists for most forge worlds.
After a month of binging episodes while I’m at work I have now reached roughly the halfway mark. I owe these guys almost 90% of the credit for getting me into 40k
Honestly, I do love the Freeblade couple idea. At the head of an Army of Renown Freeblade Lance, that could be a lot of fun to play with. Especially as a Crusade force.
This just makes me want to make an army (if possible) of Guards with Mechanicus and a Mechanicus Knight. Maybe a diorama to show em off.
My introduction to knights was in the Inquisitor - Martyr game its the most fun sections of the game
There was this one 40k mobile game called freeblade where you are the last knight of a household that was destroyed by chaos forces. With the help of the dark angels, you get revenge for your fallen brethren. Also you get to fight orks too.
7:45
My Librarian putting Might of Heroes on a Landraider:
"Im gonna end this mans whole career"
Seriously though, becoming a imperial knight pilot it's like trying to get a lucid dream with sleep paralysis.
Been waiting for this episode! Love the Giant Robots.
Bricky: *mentions the Knight Crusader*
*POWERWOLF AND SABATON INTENSIFIES*
yo shy's memeage is always on point especially the head empty one XD
I am a simple man, I see adeptus ridiculous come out with a new episode, i click and am happy
I do have to note he left out the Cerastus Class, the Acastus class, and the two spicy Questoris class units designed for slaughter, the Magaera and Styrix.
Edit: and apparently there two new armiger class ones now. With some serious bite.
if i ever run/play a 40k tabletop rpg a Freeblade Armiger from a fallen knight world would be my go-to player character/major NPC
Funny how the opening quote was all about defense, but somehow DK heard "humans want to kill everything" out if it. Makes you think.
A quick question have you done or will you do The Titans
They have not yet, but you can't be a 40k lore podcast without dedicating an episode to the mechs that range from almost plausible to the giant god engine walking cathedrals that can destroy a modern city in one salvo
house orhlacc is my favorite, they have a nice purple color scheme, I'm sad they weren't mentioned
Everytime they make a video. I change my favorite part of 40k. Its now freeblades.
I love Imperial Knights, specifically the Freeblades. Lorewise, sometimes several Freeblades can band together and form a temperary lance formation similar to a standard household but each knight is unique with different colors and heraldry instead of a uniform color scheme. Thus, I was a little disappointed when the Canis Rex wasn't mentioned because his back story of how it earned the name "unchained" is insane.
Anyways, day 26 of asking for a Space Wolves Lore Video!
See how the enemies struggle and thread soon we will burn piles of their dead
their is a book about two titan houses that had a couple between them. One of the houses was an all female house that called titans huntresses instead of knights but the other house was literally just built on anger went to the traitors(Khorne obviously) and the houses just had a feud for the entire book until the traitor turned into a deamon engine. P.S. the woman had his child
As I listen to this Im building my own knight valiant
Bricky's idea makes me want to build a family of Knights. Mom and Dad in corresponding Knights. Bunch of kids in the little ones. And Grandma handling the monster sized one. 🤣
