40K IMPERIAL KNIGHTS: KNIGHT ARMIGERS by Games Workshop

Agile and Numerous Support: Knight Armigers are the smallest class of Imperial Knights, acting as swift and maneuverable support for their larger Questoris and Dominus-class brethren. Piloted by Knights-in-training or commoners bound by oaths of service, they operate as fast-moving outriders, flank guards, and objective grabbers, preventing their colossal masters from being overwhelmed by more numerous foes. Specialized Battlefield Roles: Armigers come in two primary variants, each excelling in a specific combat role. The Armiger Warglaive is a dedicated anti-tank platform, armed with a thermal spear to melt enemy armor and a reaper chain-cleaver for devastating close-quarters combat. In contrast, the Armiger Helverin provides mobile fire support, utilizing a pair of long-ranged autocannons to scythe down enemy infantry and light vehicles from a distance. A "Bondsman" System: In the game, Armigers benefit from a unique "Bondsman" ability when in proximity to a larger Knight. This represents the guidance and experience of the noble pilot in the larger war machine being passed down to the Armiger's pilot. This synergy grants the Armiger powerful bonuses for a turn, enhancing their combat effectiveness and rewarding strategic positioning on the battlefield. Formidable in Their Own Right: While designed as support units, a squadron of Armigers is a potent force on its own. Their combination of speed, significant firepower, and the surprising resilience of a walker chassis allows them to outmaneuver and overwhelm opponents. Some Imperial Knight armies, known as "Armiger spam" lists, even focus on fielding a large number of these smaller Knights to control the board and present a multitude of threats that can be difficult for an opponent to counter effectively., Manufacturer: Games Workshop
