This amazing art was done for the Imperial Knights codex.
Imperial Knights are towering engines of war, the mightiest champions of humanity striding across battlefields like living gods of destruction. Each one is a colossal war machine, adorned with heraldry and relics that tell of centuries of service to the Imperium. Standing taller than buildings, these mechanized titans are piloted by noble scions, who inherit their position through ancient bloodlines that stretch back to the time before the Imperium. Encased within their vast frames of adamantium and ceramite, the Knight pilots—also known as Nobles—become one with their hulking behemoth, connected by neural interfaces that allow them to guide their towering steeds as extensions of their own bodies. Armed with massive gatling cannons, thermal lances, and thunderous reaper chainswords, the Knights unleash devastating firepower while obliterating anything that dares come within reach.
In battle, an Imperial Knight is a walking fortress, laying waste to enemy ranks as its cannons roar and its titanic feet shake the earth with every step. When they charge, the ground trembles beneath their massive bulk, and entire platoons of foes are crushed beneath their thundering advance. The sight of a Knight charging headlong into battle is both awe-inspiring and terrifying—a symbol of the Imperium’s unstoppable might. Their armor gleams with the faded glory of past triumphs, marked by countless battle scars, while banners and tabards flap in the winds of war. As they stride forward, every shot from their weapons can obliterate vehicles and entire squads, and their mere presence on the battlefield is enough to inspire hope in the hearts of Imperial forces while striking dread into the souls of their enemies.
