I wonder what the flyers are going to be. Heldrake vs Valkyrie? Stormraven vs Harpy? There's plenty for them to choose from.

Probably a fighter versus fighter thing.

Ork thing versus smaller Marine thing seems like a good match.

And there I was hoping for aeronautica imperialis...

I was just getting ready to paint Living Litany as part of my Freeblade army. But if he's a filthy traitor...

Is it me or does the Renagade Knight look like its had a chuck blasted out of its face plate ?, could be alternative parts in the kit?

Did anyone notice the maps? Pretty sure this is the first proper battle report, with detailed turn-by-turn synopsis and maps, in several years...

No additional parts, the head conversion was shown in a White Dwarf - photo from the french Warhammer-Forum.com (via Atia)

He can be two things! Besides, why would not want to have an insane knight in your army?

The Renegade Knight (Litany of Destruction) is actually a knight that was featured in the Imperial Knight codex called The Living Litany. Basically its fluff was that it was an maddened, insane knight that beseeched the God-Emperor when it charged into battle. Imperial Forces were not particularly keen on its crazed ramblings, but shrugged it off because it tended to kick-arse in combat.

Apparently the cause of its insanity is now revealed to be Chaos influenced... Looks like the same paint-job as the one in the Knight Codex, just with Chaos markings over it now.

So with Deathwatch, Lost Patrol, this, Silver tower, flyer game and Horus game, we will have 6 new boxed games in one year. Is that a record?
Edit. Forgot kiddy 40k. Make that 7!

How do people already have the WD??? I have an online sub and can't get it any faster...

Can't argue with the business model thus far. They are really moving.

White Dwarf has to be printed, distributed and stocked. GW is not shipping them in containers with time-locks.

Is this a limited release btw? Are any of the recent boxed games limited or can you still buy all of them?

The last three games are still on the Web store. The list of releases on faeit said 'core game', so hopefully not limited.

Shops get WDW early thats why a few people can take blurred cell pics.

According to a Natfka source 'while supplies last', according to Archibald_TK (FLGS owner or worker) it is not. Maybe GW's communication is not consistent here.

The game will be sold in different languages which has been a pretty reliable hint that it is a larger release. Maybe only the english edition will be reprinted.

I would not wait with a purchase though as the interest seems to be very high.



Edit: Yes, the list didnt say 'While stocks last', good point, Chikout

I have to say, I played Godbreaker Clash - as it was 'badged' and it looks like it's pretty much identical. It's a really good game - I hope we'll get 'datasheets' for the forge world knights and the other similar sized engines from other races.

I'll be especially interested to see if there are any many-on-many skirmish rules.

Well that's good news. Nafka the inreliable saying it's limited means it's almost certain to NOT be limited. I don't have money to buy this for a long while(say within a year) so good news for me.

He's now posted a bit where he's confident that it will be a core product.

What interests me about that White Dwarf article is that it reads like they actually played a game instead of just making up a narrative. There are a reasonable number of successes and failures and (perhaps most surprisingly) Chaos actually manages to win a game against the Imperial posterboy. Compared to previous White Dwarf battlereports where the people were clearly playing a game with made up rules for the narrative and to advertise product, this is a huge leap in the right direction in terms of being a game company.

Just wanted to verify that there aren't any Chaos Knight bits in this box set, right? The corrupted Knight just looks that way due to paint/decal application? Not that it is a deal breaker if there aren't Chaos bits, the box set has a lot of value as is, but if there are Chaos bits this went from a definite buy to "OH MY GOD GIMMIE GIMMIE!"

No Chaos knight bits -

Do any Chaos players not have adequate numbers of spare Chaos bitz to bedazzle their Knight with?

I think he would be alluding to actual knight chaos bits, as opposed to generic spikes and chains from the rhino kit or whatnot... but yeah... barring full on armor plate re-sculpts, generic 'chaos'ing' is not too tough...

Forge World has not that long ago released a chaos upgrade kit for the Knight, this is going to be as good as it gets for the time being.

Hush you, don't disturb him. He's busy moving goalposts about.

Ok- to confirm- is this kit 2 knight wardens or 1 knight warden and 1 old knight kit?

2 basic Knights + 1 Warden sprue

thanks!

Y'know, I'm not sure about that now.

The photos in WD show both of them having rocket pods--which isn't doable if it's 2 basic Knights+1 Warden sprue. There's only one rocket pod body on the Warden sprue and the basic Knight sprue, unless recut, does not have it.

So just to recap is this a kind of game mode to play with knights in a duel like scenario ?
