A towering model festooned with marvellous detail ( and something of a long-held dream come true for designer Jes Goodwin and his band of trusty sculptors) , the Imperial Knight also offers a fascinating peek into a largely unexplored area of Warhammer 40,000 lore. You can seethe kit in all its breathtaking glory in this issue, while Jes Goodwin and Jervis Johnson discuss the genesis and provenance of the Imperial Knights. We’ve also got painting guides for two knightly houses, and the rules for these mighty machines of destruction.  \nStay tuned to White Dwarf in following weeks too, as we’ll be bringing you much more coverage of the Imperial Knights. It’s a great time to be a hobbyist and we’ll be making the most of it. See you next week!  \nThe Imperial Knights are staunch defenders of Mankind, skilled warriors who pilot towering suits of armour into battle. Armed with weapons capable of scattering whole armies, they fight side by side with the forces of humanity.  \nThousands of years before the rise of the Imperium, Mankind reached out to the stars and settled many far away worlds. Among the apparatus of colonisation were formidable war machines known as Imperial Knights, which existed to protect the settlers from any threat. Over the millennia, the pilots of these suits have established a rich culture, noble houses each sworn to the defence of their  \nhome-world, bound by oaths of fealty to the Golden Throne of Earth and the Adeptus Mechanicus of Mars.  \nImperial 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 mulch. Vulnerable limbs and joints are protected by sweeping armour plates of adamantium and supported by an incorporated ion shield which responds to the thought-commands of its Noble pilot.  \nThe Imperial Knight is a multi-part plastic kit from which you can build either a Knight Paladin equipped with a rapid-fire battle cannon or a Knight Errant armed with a tankbusting thermal cannon.
