The Emperor Protects his faithful knights!

[@tyrant-den884]

odd way of saying the Omnisiah protects their faithful kights

[@jamesboyles8729]

regarding the knights was there a robin hood type character? may im referring the freeblades?

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

They're kinda all Robin Hood types, except more arrogant, lol. Travelling the galaxy fighting injustice.

[@tyrant-den884]

mysteriously not in the Knights playlist.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Turns out there's no Imperial Knights playlist. All Imperial Knights videos are part of the Collegia Titanica playlist.

6:02 3 Imperial Knights squad. Nice, they join Imperial Guard and Space Marine need super heavy units.

[@kyleshore9591]

Your consistency in putting up these vids is admirable. Good job.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks. I hope I don't get too drained anytime soon.

[@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723]

Steam Punk Bretonnia

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

That's a good comparison.

[@narrativehardcounter4483]

Sweet. Been looking forward to this since you mentioned it a few weeks ago.

[@burnin8able]

ok, sure, I get that GW likes a certain aesthetic and most of the human tech in WH40K is more form over function, but *COME ON* WTF is that chainsword supposed to do? it can't even swing properly!

[@farkasabel]

Daemons are more vulnerable to fire and melee weapons. Although the imperial knights are extremely primitive technology.
Eldar wraithknights are far more advanced.

or this one of the t'au

[@beipiaosaurus2379]

and the knights you see are the Remanent of much better mech like

[@farkasabel]

It is not there to swing it but grind through heavy armor. These knights are deplyod to face similar constructs and against i.e. eldar wraithknights the ranged weapons are ineffective as they have holofield.

[@farkasabel]

Jimmy De'Souza the eldar walkers are the fastest them all. They are like a huge eldar warrior. They can easily outmanouver any other constructs.

[@sunlesssentinel5326]

Knights are cool af.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Indeed.

[@omegasynth2775]

I thought they were giant Dreadnoughts. :
