House Lakar Knight World Defense Force Army List

Forces

The House Lakar Knight World Defense Force Army List uses the datasheets from the Knight World Forces section and the Imperial Navy Forces section.

Using The Army List

House Lakar Knight World Defense Force formations come in three types: Knight Households, Support Households and Support Levy. Each Knight Household you include in the army allows you to field one Support Household and one Support Levy.

House Lakar Knight World Defense Force armies may be supported by Imperial Navy aircraft. A maximum of up to a fourth of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.

The army list includes the following information:

Formation
The name of the formation.
Units
The core units that make up the formation.
Extras
A formation may include any of the extra units listed in the Extras column. You may include any number of extra units in a formation unless it is specifically noted otherwise. All of the core and extra units in a formation count as being part of one formation. The different units may not move off on their own.
Cost
The points value of the formation.

Special Rules

The Fortified Positions rule applies to House Lakar Knight World Defense Force armies (see Fortified Positions).

Bravery

Knight Household and Support Household formations receive a +1 modifier to their action test when carrying out an engage action, and a +1 modifier to their rally test.

Fortified Positions

Fortified positions must be set up after objectives have been placed but before spacecraft and garrisons are set up. The only exception to this are fortified positions that are listed as part of a formation’s units. While they are not actually units, they are set up with the formation they are part of.

Fortified positions may be set up anywhere a vehicle may deploy on the player’s half of the table. They may not be transported. Each group of fortified positions (whether part of a formation or not) must be set up so every piece is within 5cm of another piece from the same group, and so all pieces from the same group form a chain without any gaps of more than 5cm. Additionally, if a group of fortified positions is part of a formation then at least one piece must be within 5cm of a unit from the formation when they are set up.

Once set up, fortified positions may be used by any unit (including enemy units).

Knight Technology

Knight Shield
Units with a Knight Shield may make a saving throw on a 4+ when they are hit instead of using their armour value. No modifiers ever apply to this saving throw and it is unaffected by macro-weapon, lance and titan killer hits. However, each point of damage from a titan killer hit must be saved separately. If the unit has reinforced armour as well then it is allowed to re-roll a failed save using its armour value unless the hit was a macro-weapon, lance or titan killer. Finally, none of these benefits apply to units in a crossfire or to hits from supporting fire.
Power Lance and Shock Lance
The Power Lance and Shock Lance may only be used if the unit’s formation carried out an engage action.
