They are powered by 300 rated standard engines and their protection is of standard plate quality. The early period Mech’s all benefit from having modern technology although little weight saving goes into the Black Knights when first produced save to have them built on an endo-steel skeleton. All vary between periods but can be broken down into this, SLDF for the Early Period, Succession Wars to 3050, Middle, Battle of Tukkayid to present for the late period. This lead to a reintroduction of the original 6-KNT alongside a steadily growing series of variants that continues to the current period of 3145 with Black Knights still marching off the production lines and into battle even though the design is five hundred and sixty seven years old!ĭue to the sheer number of variants I am going to break this up into three groups, early, middle, and late. These ‘new’ variants were produced in small numbers and still served when the Helm Memory Core was discovered and its data spread across the Inner Sphere. Denied this resource an alteration was needed if the machine was to remain in production but fortunately the changes were not too drastic. Whilst it seems that the 6b’s all left with Kerensky there was enough 6N’s to remain in service and they were still being produced on many worlds across the Inner Sphere.īy the Second Succession Wars these plants had been reduced to radioactive rubble or were affected by the destruction of orbital factories that produced endo-steel that the 6-KNT relied on. Produced in two models for the SLDF with the more advanced and better armed 6b going to the Royal Regiments the 6 and 6b were popular choices for commanders and the designs served well with the SLDF in the Amaris Civil War. Future premiums are being re-sourced.The Black Knight is a positively ancient design, first produced for the SDLF as a Company or Battalion level command Mech it was outfitted with an extensive and advanced com’s and imaging system that would allow a Company or Battalion commander to observe and communicate with his or her forces during a deployment as well as interfacing with orbital assets to get up to the date maps and locations of friendly and hostile units, in essence a walking JSTARS. NOTE: This item will be discontinued after this release, as the manufacturer has shifted away from its previous plans. Watch for a CGL store survey this week to help us gauge interest in this, and other awesome new products! Supply is very limited, so orders are currently restricted to one model per person. We are working with the supplier to provide more of these premium models as quickly as possible. It comes unassembled and unpainted - and includes multiple optional parts (3 hands, 3 arms, 3 legs), allowing you to decide from dozens pf poses! This premium variant, featured on the cover of the Battle of Tukayyid, uses new modeling techniques being employed to update all BattleMech designs. Wielding a special sword-shaped hatchet and an all-energy weapons array, this BattleMech proved effective in thwarting the Invading Clans' quest for Terra. The Com Guards created a special version of the Black Knight - known as the 'Clanbuster' - to face the Clans on Tukayyid.
