Welcome to the TTP Field Manual’s End-of-Year Special! In these FINAL DAYS, join Joshy and Jonny as they delve into the characters of Warhammer 40,000, exploring their stories, motivations, and roles in the grim darkness of the far future. Each episode in this series unpacks the "who, what, where, why, and how" of iconic figures, making it the perfect introduction—or reintroduction—for fans old and new. For Episode #5, Jonny guides us through the epic tale of Canis Rex, the legendary Imperial Knight piloted by Ser Hekhtur Cerberan. We explore their heroic journey from the fall of their homeworld to their transformation into a mercenary Freeblade and freedom fighter. The story heats up with the emergence of a fierce rivalry against the Chaos Dreadblade, The Hatred of Krastellan. Canis Rex isn’t just a force to be reckoned with in the lore—his impressive arsenal makes him a powerhouse on the tabletop too.
