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.

Plastic Stormtroopers! My life is complete!

Those are metal if I read the site correctly.

A good looking selection imo.

I think they are metal, actually :\ Sorry

Loving the Stormtroopers and Boba Fett! And wondering how could I use 5 stormtroopers in Infinity...

They are resin and metal.

Now we can test in the game to see if they can indeed hit the broadside of a barn.

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.

Argentina is on the pull down shipping list, so you can probably order direct!

Those look nice but they are amazingly expensive.

Anyone notice that Vader's unmasked head seem to sit a little high up on his shoulders?

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

Take him away! he is part of the rebel alliance and will be shot!

Very cool looking Storm Troopers.

Sadly, after 9 weeks, I only have one day left in Argentina.

I'll have to check out various US/UK companies, and just wait till they have stock.

I do like these figs.

Those stormtroopers look great, almost as if someone had literally shrunk down the actors dressed up in the suits, lol. That's some good sculpting.

I'm going to have to buy some Stormtroopers, Boba Fett and Asyla Secura 30mm models. Not that I ever plan to use them, but painting them will be a blast.

I like the active poses on the stormtroopers. Nice sculpts as usual from the company. Eventually, I hope to put in an order for a few characters and *fingers crossed* clonetroopers! Pure conjecture on my part but episode 2 clonetroopers would be awesome!

Yup, the Knight Models range continues to impress. I haven't bought any of these so far because of the price, but I think if they're around for long enough sooner or later I'm going to cave...

25 Euros for 5 Stormtroopers? Say whaaaaat?


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

edit: Even worse value for money, actually! Never thought it possible.

Great sculpting + licensing fees = cost.

I know what would factor into the price, It's still terrible value for money.

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.

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.

Guess it was about time: The Necron overlord and his Lychguard

SICK. Love these models, I only wish they were hard plastic.
