About the podcast.
40k by Knight is all about helping Imperial Knights play better 40k. That's it. And we've assembled an amazing group of people to help with that mission. Each episode will do deep, answering a specific question and looking at all the different ways to break it down.
The team is:
Steve Joll. Compeitive IK player who hasn't yet cracked anything better than X and 1. Occasional winner of 'Best Painted Army'
Stig. Tabletop Tactics legend and IK enthusiast who gets to play our favourite army on one of the world's biggest 40k channels.
Brian Jones. Literally the best IK player in the world right now. Brian is an Art of War coach and member of the US national WTC team.
Rees Darvill. One of the best Imperial Knights players in the world. Current Number 1 in the ITC.
Ratnu Vaidya. The best in the world with Chaos Knights last ITC season, and off to a blazing hot start in 2025 with CK. Consistently finishing at or near the top of 40k events.
