## Resource

40k by Knight is a podcast especially for Imperial and Chaos Knights players, hosted by Steve, Rees and Stig, that focusses on strategy and tactics for those of us who love the big, stompy life. In this episode Steve and Rees respond to recent tier lists (specifically this one from our friend Adam at Art of War Downunder)and ask how one of the very worst armies in the game right now (yeah - that's Imperial Knights) can go into battle against the top few factions. They talk Necrons, Chaos Daemons, Astra Militarum and Space Marines. Rees breaks down strategies and plans to help deal with the biggest and baddest. Make sure you check out our patreon and discord.
