Editing Imperial Knight (section)

===Armiger Knight Patterns===
Babys first knight. The smallest Knight class shown to date (roughly the size of a [[Dreadknight]], Grey Knight converters take note), Armigers are piloted by aspiring nobles, lowborn commoners with a knack for war, and the occasional bastard child of the High King. Due to their smaller size and lighter weight, Armigers are far faster and more agile than their larger brothers, which helps them hunt and fight at the flanks of their larger cousins. Basically, they are to larger knights what warhounds are to warlords - they serve as fast support to neutralize threats to the larger engine, while also helping in combat maneuvers. They are given the nickname of '''Baby Knights''', '''Mini-Knights''', '''Moe Knights''', '''Knight Jr''', '''The Wee Baby Brother of the Bunch''' or '''Mini-Me''' [[Dwarf|''for a very good reason'']]. Instead of a full Throne Mechanicum, they use a simpler set of implants dubbed the Helm Mechanicum that can be slaved to a larger Knight's commands- akin to the connection between a knight and his squire. This is even reflected in the name, ''Armiger'' is the Latin term for an Esquire, who was a low-ranking knight or high-ranking squire who served as the shield or arms bearer for another knight, hence the name (Armiger is arms bearer, Esquire comes from the French word for shield).

Strangely, while they can take both a Meltagun or Heavy Stubber as carapace options, they can't take a missile pod like their larger cousins [[Derp|or even their own]] [[Havoc Launcher|spiky]] counterparts.

Tl;dr, they're for when a scion of the Imperium wants to play mecha like the [[Tau|blueberries]] without it literally [[Dreadnought|taking an arm and a leg]] to do so.

====Armiger Knight Warglaive====
[[File:40kForgebane-Forgebane-Armiger.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Armiger Warglaive]] 
Armiger Warglaives sprint into pace because they have to. Their weapon loadouts dictates that a fast and swift firststrike always gets the job done. It levels a lance-like beam of superheated directed energy from its [[Thermal Spear]] that can reduce a rockcrete bunker wall to a pool of bubbling lava. Those met by the ensuing charge are struck with an expert sweep of the Armiger's [[Chain Weapon#Reaper Chain-Cleaver|Reaper Chain-cleaver]], a saw-toothed weapon that mangles metal and gnaws flesh to ruin with each shuddering impact.

Warglaives are equipped with Thermal Spears, Reaper Chain-Cleavers, and a [[Heavy Stubber|heavy stubber]] or a [[Meltagun|melta gun]]. Sadly it has lost the ability to move and shoot heavy weapons without penalty, but you don't really care about that, because your main weapon is Assault and no one actually uses the pop-gun. Use them if you want to have the firepower of a Knight without wasting a bucket load in points, but watch out for hordes.

Its more [[Dakka|shooty and ranged]] brother is the Armiger Helverin. Thus, the Warglaive is better situated in going up against CQC monsters that would have made mince meat out of the more fragile Knights.

====Armiger Knight Helverin====
[[File:ArmigerHelverins.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Armiger Helverin]] 
The shootier Armiger, armed with a pair of [[Autocannon|Armiger Autocannons]]. The Armiger Helverin is a fast-moving weapons platform designed to lay down blistering hails of heavy fire while running rings around the enemy’s forces. In place of the close-ranged armaments of the Warglaive, each Helverin aforementioned pair of Armiger-class autocannons are capable of firing hundreds of armor-piercing shells per minute, even a single such weapon can swiftly whittle down infantry ranks or shred armored vehicles.

As such, Armiger Helverins are versatile and highly destructive for something its size in contrast to the similarly sized yet underpowered and vulnerable [[Sentinel|Sentinels]], small wonder that they are popular amongst both Imperial and Adeptus Mechanicus Noble houses who traditionally relied upon the Helverins' support for their larger compatriots at war. These machines just work wonders.

Despite initial fears that the Helverin would be almost be twice the height, twice the cost, yet only half as shooty as an old-fashioned rifleman dreadnought, these little gun walkers have turned out to pack a surprising punch, with 4d3 shots strength 7 each at a ridiculous 60 inches. Did I mention that each shot deals 3 damage?

====Armiger Knight Moirax====

Fitted with a potent reactor core capable of powering the most destructive weaponry available to its class, the Knight Moirax was a formidable tool in the arsenal Questoris Households loyal to the Mechanicum. However, this energy core was notorious for radioactive instability, and so the Moirax chassis was considered to be an unseemly instrument with which to lay the foundations of the Imperium, seeing minimal use on human-occupied worlds before the darkest hours of the Horus Heresy. - lore from the instruction manual inside the forgeworld kit box

Previewed on Warhammer Community. An Armiger armed with a [[Volkite Veuglaire]] and a [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Gyges Siege Claw|Gyges siege claw]] (likely a scaled-down Hekaton Siege Claw, like how the Reaper Chain-Cleaver is to the Reaper Chainsword) with an in-built [[Irradiation Projector|rad-cleanser]] (basically a 9" flamer that wounds any non-vehicles and non-titans on a 2+). You can replace them with any combination of the following: [[Lightning Lock]]s, [[Graviton Pulsar]]s and Moirax [[Conversion Beam Cannon]]s. It also has no penalty on firing heavy weapons after moving and can perform a heroic intervention on TITANIC units of the same household.

For protection, it used an Ionic Flare Field, which differed from the standard Ion Shield in its radius but at the cost of protection. It could also be equipped with an experimental Construct Shield, which is like the $2 store version of the much more impressive [[Void shield|Void Shields]]. Usually, the Construct Shield was frequently employed by the Magi of the Ordo Katastrophica to ensure their temperamental [[Legio Cybernetica|automata]] survive in battle long enough for them to gather vital operating data. But it seems that they manage to fit it on the Knight Moirax as well.
