Hello fellow noble Knights and such. Here it is, the long awaited Imperial Knight Codex Review!This is a book close to my heart, as many know knights are one of my main factions for the past year and i have had a fair bit of time to muse upon it's workings. Le'ts just say the overall power level is likely down, but the plays you can make as a knight player are Way up.For this review i was joined by the brilliant Jordan McGreggor who is currently ranked No1 in the ITC in Australia in addition to representing Australia at the recent WTC. He is Mr Armiger himself and brings nuance and insights for days.Hope you love it!PS apologies for any confusion, the PDF i reviewed was worded a little differently than release and you WILL get your quality from T1!
