The Forge World Cerastus Knight-Lancer is a fantastic model when painted, and the artists at Elrik`s Painting have done a great job of getting a clean, solid look that matches other knights in an army. Take a look at this fantastic knight and discover the entire showcase by clicking Play on the video below! How profitable is the Cerastus Knight-Lancer against other knights? I magnetized a friend who likes to lead a knight, so I can`t say exactly what load, and I want to surprise him unpleasantly with a Turn One attack at all levels to end his knight. Usually I do pure Admech, so a knight is difficult to handle. Tags: 9th edition cerastus knight throw chaos knights forgeworld Low throw The cerastus Knight-Lancer rules can be found in the book Imperial Armor Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum. At 24PL with a movement of up to 14″, a 3+ weapon skill, a 3+ ballistic skill and 27 wounds, this model can be fantastically on the table. It costs 420 basis points, 480 points with the shock lance. Overall, the model looks fantastic, but could be a bit high, points in terms of cost. However, with the painting and attention to detail that Elrik`s hobbies have done on this fantastic model, it is worth getting for the knight`s army. Next knight purchase for me and on the list of hobbies of the season. Mainly because of the appearance, I admit about the rules, but your review is always welcome This has been painted with a certain color palette to match Rob`s existing legio Astorum (Warp Runners) titans. The artists of Elrik`s painting provided the legs to give him the impression that he was stabbing with his spear. I admitted that I have always considered them just LoW for my Mechanicum. In 30k, I usually stick to using only one CAD (basically), except in massive games! I will do so thanks to 🙂 He is arguably the most difficult melee brawler in the Empire.
3++ Combat Invul, 4++ Ranged Invul, T8 27W. All the gold panels are painted in a fantastic way. Armor pieces also have edges around the fairing. The painting is clean and fantastic with great transitions. They even included a custom resin base from Elrik`s Hobbies that fits the model perfectly. I lead a Lancer in a competitive list of 2 warglaives and a fun list of 2 gallants. This is a very underestimated unit, but a pain in the fact that it is an FW model. With the recent drop in points, it is almost as effective as the Gallant.
It has three advantages: Haha, I always buy with the rule of freshness before the competition! Doooo that! The Lancer is awesome. In the LVO, a man who led the Guard/Knights recently came in at 7th place, with a Lancer as a knight.

And remember, Frontline Gaming sells discounted gaming products, every day in their web cart! Since the Lancer is focused on hand-to-hand combat, its weapon is really an afterthought. However, the Lancer needs something to clean up the tares, so it adapts well to Moirax War Dogs with Lightning Locks to eliminate anything that stands in its way so that it has a shot straight towards its intended target. This is something to remember about the Lancer; It really takes ambition to function fully, and you need a way to identify a trail so that it achieves valuable goals. It`s a trading coin, so you need to make sure you can trade it enough. In this context, never be shy with evil misfortune, as the Lancer should die deep in your opponent`s lines, and an explosion can cause mass chaos, especially if they have many supporting characters. Another interesting ride is to use the Lancer as a pike man to absorb loads, and this works well with Iconoclast for Vow of Dominance, which makes it much harder to hurt even for powerful attackers, and then you fall back and charge in the next round.
It`s speed, especially if you`re running in a sponge. Combine this with the Aura or Landstrider trait and you can easily cross the board on the first lap. Personally, I take the Atropos, I know it costs more, but the re-rolling of the blow and the injury is nice to have and his weapons take a good shot. I run 1 atropos and 2 acherons and faithful 32 in my 1750 games. The easiest way to increase the offensive production of a Lancer is to go to the charge with Iconoclast for the +1 attack. With 6 attacks on the charge at AP-5, that`s an average of 25 injuries for a standard Knight chassis, and now add Trail of Destruction for Reroll to strike (or Path to Glory), and now there are 31,630 that kill the porphyrion and its ilk in a single turn. It`s impressive. You can further amplify this by getting lucky on a demonic power throw to bring the Lancer to WS 2+, and now you`ll kill any knights you hit in medium dice (except, of course, for another Throw).
If you and Iconoclast launch Vow of Beastslayer, rolling 1 on the wound means that you will again crush any model you hit that does not have invulnerable memory. I think you`re missing out on one thing. Take this in an allied detachment and make it your seneschal.
