Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000

The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!

Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.

So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all. That means that I am aiming at Day 96 being the 21st of July 2025!

Today is Day 9/96.
I have reviewed 14/148.

Time elapsed: 9.37%
Review Completion: 9.45%
Slightly ahead!

Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear

With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.

I am collecting funds in the following ways:

Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
Selling some of the collection to friends.

At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $236 to pay off!

Every bit counts!

Back to the review!

A Knight Preceptor is a model that generally focusses on one unit at a time and absolutely dedicates itself to their destruction. A secondary function would be to boost Armigers, enabling them to be better at Objective Control.

Abilities

Deadly Demise D6 (When this model is destroyed, roll a dice to see if it explodes. On a 6 it does so, dealing D6 damage to every unit within 6" of this model)

Exemplar of the Code

At the start o the battle, select one unit from your opponent's army. Each time this model attacks that unit, you can re-roll the Hit rolls.

Mentor

Bondsman ability. Therefore this model can use this ability in the Command Phase to select one Armiger. That Armiger gains +1 Leadership and +2 Objective control.

Thoughts

Select something appropriate target for this model's ability is crucial to get your value for points on this model. This Knight would be good at taking the midfield, cracking a high value target and assisting the Armiger to hold those objectives!

That makes 9 Imperial Knight Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 81.81% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 134.

Thank you for reading!
