How do?
So, I've been getting all in a lather over Chaos Knights. Big stompy bad guys. What's not to like!
Well, I'll tell you. No practical way to properly access the weapon combos I can field. See, the Imperial Knight sprues share the arm mounts across a couple of sprues - one of which is the basic body sprue, the other the basic (original) weapon sprue. Now, at the time that made sense, because there was only the one weapon sprue.
Then?
This came out. Adding new weapon systems. But no mountings for them. And that means if I want a second Avenger Gating Cannon -
GW can't simply make this sprue available separately.
But hey, OK. Let's be semi-rational here. This was a different era of
GW. And since then, they've got a bit smarter. Let's look at the new Chaos Knight weapon sprue,
mmm?
So far as I can tell, all the bits and bobs you need to arm your Knight. Lovely. That means, in theory,
GW could release that sprue on it's own.
Which is exactly how they've handled Titanicus. All your Titans? Weapons and Armour are separate Sprues to the Body. So the same chassis and that can be package with different weapons (see Warlord and Reaver) - but also the weapon sprues released separately.
And for big stuff like Knights? It opens up the army for those who want them, but are on a budget more restrained. Consider. A Warlord Titan is £65. That's.....pretty hefty. A Knight? £95 with that sprue. Both are solid amounts of money if all you're looking to do is double up a weapon system. But the Warlord? £26, lots of new models.
GW. Give us the same for Knights as you did for
AT. Please!
