Warhammer 40k - Unit Review Library 76 - Imperial Knights, Canis Rex


Source

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

Now known as the Unit Review Library!

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 this series, I will review one unit at a time, picking them randomly.

So let me spin the wheel again and see what I get:

Imperial Knights, Canis Rex

10th Edition Index

Canis Rex is the only Epic Hero (Named Character) of the Imperial Knights army thusfar. Thus, in an army of massive warmachines, he is an elite hero. He has weapons and rules that are unique to him.

You need to pay 435pts to play him and to buy him, you need to buy the Quastoris Knights box which is $179!

Let's check its stats.

Stats

Movement 10"
Toughness 12
Save 3+/5++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain) - Invul only against Ranged Attacks
Wounds 22
Ld 5+
OC 10

Weapons

Ranged:

Chainbreaker las-impulsor — low intensity
36" Range, 2D6 Shots, Hitting on 2+. S7, AP-1 and 2 Damage.
Sustained Hits 1, Blast

Chainbreaker las-impulsor — high intensity
24" Range, D6 Shots, Hitting on 2+. S14, AP-3 and 4 Damage.
Sustained Hits 1, Blast

This weapon has two firing options. Low Intensity kills hordes while the High intensity goes for big targets!

Chainbreaker multi-laser
36" Range, 4 Shots, 2+ to Hit, S6, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Sustained Hits 1

Melee:

Like most big guys, he has a Sweep and a Strike option in close combat!

Freedom’s Hand — sweep
10 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S10, AP-2 and 3 Damage each.
Sustained Hits 1

Freedom’s Hand — strike
5 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S20, AP-3 and 9 Damage each.
Sustained Hits 1

Abilities

Deadly Demise D6

Legendary Freeblade

Once per turn, Canis gets a one free Stratagem for 0CP. Effectively this is one free Command Re-roll.

Chainbreaker

All Canis' attacks, Ranged or Melee, score Critical hits on 5+ instead of 6+. This means his Sustained Hits trigger a LOT more.

Sir Hekhtur

When Canis is destroyed Sir Hekhtur disembars the Imperial Knight and fights on. He has his own datasheet but Canis only counts as destroyed when Sir Hekhtur dies!

Thoughts

I mean... he is amazing! I have fought him once in a battle and he is an absolute powerhouse of a character!

That is the 3rd Imperial Knights Datasheet reviewed putting them on 14.28% Completed and the total Completed on 7.82% Complete!

Thank you for reading!
