He's set to Harpoon your monsters!

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 10/96.
I have reviewed 15/148.

Time elapsed: 10.41%
Review Completion: 10.13%
A Sliver Under

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!

Imperial Knights, Knight Valiant

10th Edition Index

The Knight Valiant is the alternative to playing the more long ranged Knight Castellan. They both have a larger chassis than the other big knights on the list and are the biggest... until you go for the stuff that are part of the Imperial armor list.

He has a massive Harpoon that wrecks most Monsters and Vehicles easily!

Let's check its stats and abilities!

Stats

Movement 8"
Toughness 13
Save 3+/5++(invul against ranged only) (armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 24
Ld 6+
OC 10

Weapons

Standard weapons: Conflagration Cannon, Thundercoil Harpoon, 2x Shieldbreaker Missile Launchers, 2x Twin Meltaguns, 1x Twin Siegebreaker Cannon

This model can exchange the 2 Shieldbreaker and 1x Siegebreaker for 2x Siegebreaker and 1x Shieldbreaker.

Ranged Weapons

Conflagration Cannon

18" Range, 3D6 Shots, Hitting on Auto, S8, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.
Torrent (This attack hits automatically, just roll for the number of shots)
Ignores Cover (Enemies cannot get Benefit of Cover against this attack!)

Thundercoil Harpoon

18" Range, 1 Shot, Hitting on 2+, S24, AP-6 and 12 Damage each.
Anti-Monster 4+ / Anti-vehicle 4+ (Scores a Critical Wound on a Monster or a Vehicle regardless of Toughness on a roll 4+)

Abilities

Deadly Demise D6+2 (When this model is destroyed, roll a dice to see if it explodes. On a 6 it does so, dealing D6+2 damage to every unit within 6" of this model)

Overwhelming Firestorm

After this model has fired its weapons, choose one unit that was hit by one of those attacks. That unit must take a Battle-Shock test.

Ion Aegis

While a friendly Armiger is within 6" of this model, that Armiger gets Benefit of Cover.

Thoughts

This is a big boy! The Shieldbreaker missiles are really the only threat at far. Then it needs to come close (18") and then all hell breaks loose!

That Thundercoil cannon! It is a 1-shot kill on a Screamer-killer!

That makes 10 Imperial Knight Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 90.90% Completed! The total of the remaining Index reviews is now 133.

Thank you for reading!
