Hello there

I think this is not published yet, if i'm wrong please excuse me...

Knight Models have posted pics of their new models for October. First of all, they have released a set of 5 multi-pose Stormtroopers in 30 mm. scale, with a great quality IMHO. If you click the links there are some more views.

Sculpted by Israel González.





And there are other new models from this brand this month...
The first one is also in 30 mm. they have released the bounty-hunter Boba Fett:

Sculpted by José Luis Roig (who is one of the Infinity main sculptors if you remember him). Link to KM website: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=70






And there are more bigger scale figures for painters and collectors, also released this month:

Looks like Knight Models no longer sell to the US or UK direct. Their website is all in spanish with no option to change the language to English......but more importantly, when you try to buy something, and want to select a shipping destination, there is no option to select the UK or US.

I wonder if it's something to do with license agreements? but even that doesn't make sense, as they will ship to almost every other region in Europe?

Any of our Spanish members know what's going on?

You can buy them at Maelstrom for example and save on shipping.

Maelstrom don't have the latest products from Knights, and speaking to one of the store guys yesterday, he said they would only carry the Star Wars line right now. I really wanted that Navy Seal guy and some of the Marvel characters.

Anyway, just seems like a strange move from Knight Models to stop selling direct.

I'd be curious about this as well. With Fett just released I was going to place a sizeable order. I guess I won't, or have to wait for Maelstrom to get all the stuff I might want. Oh well. Money saved.

Honestly i don't know...

However, if i'm not wrong, i know that these models can be found in some stores of Uk and USA. I know... that is not the best solution, but if you are not in a hurry to get the models, i think those stores would have them eventually.

The only last thing i can suggest you is to write them to their Customer service email: atencionalcliente@knightmodels.com

I think they sell many minis out of Spain, so if you write them asking for order the last releases, i'm sure they will answer you.

I hope that could help

I suppose that's similar value for money as forgeworld.

For people looking for a US seller, Cool Mini Or Not carries the Knight line of minis.

They had a bunch of the 70 mm minis at Adepticon last April, they also had the actual painted models they used for the box art on display really awesome stuff. I know they did stormtroopers and Boba Fett in 54mm sclae and they looked pretty much the same. They aren't particuarly cheap but they are intended for display piecces, the detail and quality of casting is through the roof.

Post by: Delephont


I can vouch for the quality and pricing of the 75mm figures. Actually they are pretty much in line with other 75mm figures out, at least within a £5 tolerance.

As far as the cost of the 30mm miniatures, I'm not so sure. Clearly these are intended for the miniatures gamers out there, but considering there is no "official" game to support these miniatures.......

I'll probably cave in and grab the Boba Fett 30mm for use in Infinity as a MERC, maybe even the Jedi minis as well, but certainly my main focus is the larger scale "for display" miniatures.

For the US customers its better. 25 euro is about $35 USD...that makes them cheaper than a squad of plastic Terminators, and right about the same as Forgeworld MK armors...which require additional parts (and cost) to complete.

i have both 30mm and 70mm minis from Knight...
they are great sculpts, but heavy on the mouldlines...
30mm are not heroic scale, so the detail is very fine, making the mouldlines seem that much more extreme...
i love the 30mm sculpts, but they don't feel like a good value for the money...
they are awesome pieces that you pay a premium for...

70mm, on the other hand, are limited edition (500 each w/ great packaging) and display oriented...
they feel like money well spent, even for the $100 Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike...

hope that helps...

cheers

In my experience, i think these are really good quality models, if not, i would not have posted them here.

I have a 70 mm. model and some 30 mm. models and i didn't notice any excessive mould line or bad casting... of course, this is my experience.

However, i posted time ago a review of the Darth Vader 70 mm. model in my blog. It's in spanish, but there are many pictures, so check it if you wish:

BTW, there are also some other miniatures from Knight Models this month. All 70 mm. these ones:

Chewbacca: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=84&id_lang=1




Ghost Rider: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=83&id_lang=1

From Wookieepedia:
The bowcasters were clip-loaded with usually six explosive bolts per clip. However some Wookiees developed a bowcaster that fired pure blaster bolts and no clip was required.[1]

A polarizing orb sat at each end of the bow, generating a magnetic field used to accelerate the quarrels.[5] After cocking the weapon, a simple trigger sped the quarrel forward and charged it in an envelope of plasmoid.

It's may also be of interest that it takes tremendous strength to cock a Wookie crossbow. In one of the original Han Solo books, Han fires off a charge from Chewie's Bowcaster but is unable to chamber a second quarrel.

Just a snippet of useless trivia.

Leia's head is way too big as well as an awkward pose ( understandable, after all, she's chained to Jabba).

I've always wondered how much of a market there is for something like this. It seems oversaturated and outdated

Maybe I'm just burnt out. Phantom Menace and Ruination of the Clones distorted my SW world.

I dont get all the hate for the series. Sure, it was watered down a bit for the kiddies, but overall enjoyable IMO. I think some people simply over rate the original trilogy...and thats coming from a fan. Hell, Ive even gone as far as to spend some time playing a Star Wars RPG campaign.

The clone Wars TV series is very popular among kids (and some older Star Wars fans). Personally I like the design of Episodes 1-3 incl. Clone Wars series much much more than Episodes 4-6.

never said i was looking forward to building and painting it...hahahahaha
it does seem like there will be a lot of prep...

i'm in the middle of prep work on the 72mm Boba Fett right now...
loads of file work, and any hoses and straps are quite fiddly...
also, the nozzles on the jetpack are connected by a tiny bit of metal and will have to be clipped off and pinned back on...

most of us have piles of unpainted stuff, so the packaging strikes me before the build and paint work needed...
the tin, artwork, and collector's card are a nice touch for an expensive 70mm mini...
makes them feel unique and special, and justifies some of the cost...

overall, the big guys don't feel like such a huge task to prep in comparison to the 30mm guys...
they are so small and fiddly that the moldlines seem that much more extreme...
working over the 30mm Han Solo (a one-piece mini) does not make me look forward to any of the guys with seperate arms or lightsabres...

as a Star Wars fan, i am stoked that these minis exist...
i've never been a fan of Marvel, but the two modern soldiers are definitely on my wish list...
those guys have me excited to drop $60 a mini, which is a rare thing...

cheers

Hello there

New stuff from Knight Models, this time all is for the 'wargames friendly' 30 mm. Star Wars series.

More info and pics in the links:


- Battle Droids. 5 models blister/box (i don't know), sculpted by Israel González, painted by Alfonso Giraldes. Link: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=106




- Super Battle Droids. 4 models blister/box, sculpted by Israel González, painted by José Manuel Palomares. Link: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=108




And some really interesting discount sets.


- Republic Jedis Set. Box/Blister with 7 models. Link: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=112




- Separatist Droid Army. Box set with 15 battle droids, 8 super battle droids, General Grievous and magna guard and Count Dooku. Link: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=110



I think the last army box is an interesting option for a Star Wars RPG game or some wargames with robot-like soldiers (necrons?).

I hope this could be interesting.

Cheers!

Damn, love both the jedi box and the Separatist box, really nice range they have over there now.

First time in ages, I've been tempted to buy models just for paint and display.

Nifty.

Now we need a Clone Trooper army to match the Droids.

For a bulk of Battle Droids, the Wizard prepainted ones are very convenient and much cheaper. Waiting for Droidica miniatures though.

Yeah kroot, i agree with you, even the tau/necron conveted ones are a lot more cheaper... Those minis are great, but they are a hell lot of expensive, very out of my possibilities fos small toy soldiers :(

Is the Storm Trooper set close enough, HBMC? I think it is shown earlier in the thread.

Hello there.

New models and some info about this company.

First of all the minis, all new releases this month, more images and info on the links.


For the 70 mm. scale Marvel Universe ltd. edition models:

- Elektra. Sculpted by Carles Vaquero, painted by Jose M. Palomares. Link: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=113




For the 70 mm. scale Military Series. Modern day soldiers:

- Delta Force. Sculpted by Darko Bagaric, painted by Jose M. Palomares. Link: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=114




For the 30 mm. scale Star Wars models:

- Emperor Royal Guards. Blister with 2. Sculpted by Israel González, painted by Jose M. Palomares. LinK: http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=115




Some info:

- It seems that Knight Models have experienced some issues and problems with the caster company, so several faulty models have been sold, apparently unnoticed. So the manager of KM has said that any customer that could have experienced any problem or mistake with the KM miniatures, can get in touch with them by their customer service email: atencionalcliente@knightmodels.com

And a pair of rumours i have read on some spanish websites. I think they are very interesting, so i post them here. However, I cannot say how accurate are them, so take it as you wish...

- It has been said that Knight Models could be after another license to make a new range. Apparently this license could be DC Comics. So we could expect models for Batman, Superman and all the other DC folks...

- And one interesting. It has been said that KM could be developing or about to launch a wargame set in the Star Wars universe, to use their 30 mm. range. Some people says that could be the Clone Wars, so this would explain the Separatist Droid Army that we could see last month...

I hope this could be interesting, and excuse my bad english, i hope was understandable enough...

Cheers

Hello there!

More News and info about Knight Models:

This weekend has taken place the II Concurso de Modelismo Estático de Leganés, in Madrid, Spain. In this show there was a stand of Knight Models, where there were showed some previews and interesting stuff.
I have to say clearly, I didn't attend to this show, but i have sought all i can find about it in the different spanish forums and websites, so i can post the info here... It's important to say this, because all the images below belong to their authors and websites, i only post them to spread the information

Like i said previously in this thread, it had been said that KM was behind a new license. Well this is CONFIRMED. What's more, not only one, but TWO new licenses for another two ranges of collectors models for this brand. They are:

- DC Comics.

and

- The Lord of the Rings (movies).

And one pic to prove all this:

- General view of the new stuff:




And, if somebody would like to see them, in the following links, closer pics of the models, text it's in spanish, but you only have to click on the images to watch them, i have all together there so it's easier

- Boromir, for the new LOTR licensed range: http://tabladelavarwargames.blogspot.com/2012/03/knight-models-el-senor-de-los-anillos.html

- Superman, Lex Luthor, The Joker and Robin for the new DC Comics licensed range: http://tabladelavarwargames.blogspot.com/2012/03/knight-models-espectaculares-noticias.html

As you can see, all those models are waiting for approval of the companies, so they can change a little from these to the actual released models. However i think they are so cool that DC will undoubtedly approve them. Or at least they should do it!

On the other hand, there isn't any word yet about the Star Wars wargame, i'll keep searching info about it to bring all the rumours and info here, i think if that is confirmed could be really interesting for a number of people.

I hope this could be interesting

Cheers!

I've never dared to paint big scale minis, but I always wanted a Superman figure... small step for me, big step for Knight Models (double licenses than before).

Why do you not ship to the United States? I and three other people I know have not been able to order from you directly because of this reason. I have attempted several times to contact you through your email and on Facebook with no success.

I think nobody from the company posts here, so I don't have an answer. But I do know that some American stores like coolminiornot.com sell their products. You might use that if you like it.

I just assumed you were from the company! Oh well. I would order from coolminiornot but it is significantly more expensive so I am not doing that. Thanks for answering.

Well if you were thinking on me, no, sadly, for make it clear: I didn't work for any miniatures company. I'm only a hobbyist who think the job of some companies is so cool that I must share it with as many people as I can! Like in this case! Only for the love of it

However i think KM have had some issues with work oversaturation in the past. It could be the same in this case. They really are a small company, formed by 5 or 7 people, i think... So if i were you, i would try again. I found this email address, besides the one they have on their website, in case you would like to try: atencionalcliente@knightmodels.com

I wish for Robin that they were doing the more "modern" uniform rather than the "classic" look.

It just looks so hideous compared to Tim Drake/Damian's.
