It is a truth of our Imperium that even the God-Emperor’s Will can sometimes be undone by human weakness*. Within your ranks, you are blessed by the constant care of commissars, who ensure that if you stray you are corrected, and that if that correction fails you are given the comfort of a bolt shell to the head.
Sadly, not all Imperial servants have access to such positive influences.
Among those deprived of such support are the pilots of the Imperial Knights
The merging of minds between a Knight and its pilot can be dangerous, and the insanity that may result can lead pilot and Knight to serve powers that should not be spoken of – report to your commissar if you are not happy with this explanation.
Such deranged individuals have been known to turn their backs on the Emperor and take up arms against their allies. As a servant of the God-Emperor you should be prepared to recognise and confront such scum if your paths cross.
Renegade Knights will be easily recognisable from their Imperial counterparts. They show none of the glory and majesty of a loyal Knight of the Imperium. Their equipment will be in a poor state of repair, lacking the devotion of the Imperium’s Adeptus Mechanicus allies. Heretical symbols adorn their armour, and jagged scars mark their once noble visage – telltale signs for the keen of eye.
When facing such a foe, remember that though they may appear all-powerful, Renegade Knights have several key weaknesses, easily exploitable by a well-prepared guardsman.
Follow these steps to ensure victory.
Thought for the day:
“The greatest treachery begets the greatest vengeance.”
