Space Marines are 10 feet tall, so that would make the Knight how tall?

There you have it then!

I still think it is too big for a Knight because the Warhound is only (!) 2" taller at 10" though.

At this point though, I think there should be enough wiggle room in your gaming group to accomodate the different heights. Yes?

Sad that there are no points or stats for the Battle Cannon on that datasheet, as I agree with the rest of the info.

This is why I'm still pretty stoked I got the 5.5" ones

Muwahahaha!

But you lads get all the sweet weapons, though, so... I'd say it's a toss-up (plus the full-size ones are about the same price as the old 5.5" resin ones which is incredible)

Warhounds weren't much bigger than Knights in Epic... from what I remember a Knight Baron was as tall as a Warhound (but ganglier)

I think so. I was always under the assumption that the scale of a Knight to a Warhound was like a Power Armor is to Terminator armor. The difference being more about the armor than the weapons (though a Warhound can still carry more than a Knight). Even the actual Epic models aren't that big a difference, being mainly 25mm-based to 40mm-based, just like PA versus TA.

The big difference between the two is I don't think that Knights have any kind of Void Shields, just armor plating. It's one of the reasons that they aren't regarded as "proper titans".

@RiTides- Umm, did Mark switch the goals? The Kickstarter site is saying the 15mm Crusader is the next stretch... unless, of course, my eyes are alot worse off than I thought...

Clarification? Anyone?

I think as with many of the older models and their fluff, it really depends on personal opinion.

@DeChevalier: What! It appears he did switch the goals, epic! Id say thats some smart thinking tbh, get all the new backers interested earlier.

Thanks, Vit... I'm not going crazy...

... Yay.

Well hell, it looks like he did switch them.

I think it was to entice more of the people that are interested in pledging for that to get in on the action.

I'm sure there are a ton of people wanting them for DreadKnights or similar.

man or man this kick starter is going to cost me a mint...cant think of a better thing to throw money at right now...I NEED MOAR!

So, do we know what the price point on the 15mm Crusader is yet?

And are the arms still swapable for future 15mm releases, or are they set like the 15mm resin kits?

I have no idea about the 15mm arms. I can only assume that because its in plastic itll be a direct copy of the 28mm just scaled down.

Also no word on price. Id assume something like $60, at least thats what im hoping for.

Yeah, he switched it! Smart move, I think, to get in more alternate backers

For the resin 15mm one, I believe he had to fuse some parts together. However, for the plastic 15mm he is saying it will just be the 28mm scaled down, and will remain fully poseable!

That's awesome because the one drawback to the resin kits is that it is hard to pose them dynamically.

I'd bet he may release arms (perhaps in resin) to fit the new 15mm one in the future, but for the Kickstarter it is from all indications just going to be the base kit. Usable for a perfect Dreadknight as-is, though and those things are still (or even more) scary in 6th ed.

Damn, if only we knew the price, i could get everything sorted finally!

Here is a picture of the 5.5 inch resin leviathan between an Armorcast Warhound and an Epicast Knight (the only official 40k-scale knight ever made).

I measured it out. An 8.5 inch tall leviathan would be taller than the Armorcast Warhound's carapace, but slightly shorter than the "spikes".

Seems like the 15mm would be the perfect size then! Also the Ork Mega-Dread which has pretty much identical rules to the Knight, comes in at about 5-6"

I will say that I agree with the decision to swap the stretch goals of the ripper arm and the 4.5 inch Leviathan. It is what is best for the project. However, I will be a little disappointed if the 80,000 goal isn't met as I was looking forward to the Ripper.

So I did some screen calipers type measurements on the Mortis pictures and believe that as it is posed with the miniature beneath it, it is 6.24 inches from the outside of one foot to the outside of another. Which means the position of the hips needs to allow each foot to be brought in roughly .77 inches each.

This picture leads me to believe it to be possible:


I think that exact pose would fit on a 4.7" base with the forward leg on the exact front of the base and the rear leg having it's toes just stepping onto the base, with the heal sticking out behind.

Ok, I am currently put in for the $89 pledge for one Crusader and I'm trying to wrap my head around the total cost for this including shipping (international since it has to come up to Canada). I tried using the cost calculator listed at the bottom of the kickstarter page but was unable to fill anything in. Is anyone able to assist me in determining just what my total cost will be after all the shipping changes have happened? Also I fully intend on getting a Nova Cannon, so that will need to be factored in as well.

Are you just getting the nova cannon or other stuff as well?

Im sure someone can check my math or ninja me here but I think your total would be 89 (pledge) + 15 (shipping) + 25 (nova) + 2 (nova shipping) = $131

Though I could be wrong as I dont really understand this message:
"International shipping: Please add $2.00 per box to the $15.00 base charge."

Dont fully understand how the international shipping or this stage 1, 2, 3 stuff works so I might be way off

Pricing is up for the 4.5" tall model!

$44 for 1
$79 for 2
$105 for 3

So if you want 3... That's only $35 apiece

Comes with 2 sword options and capacitor cooler option. Arms swappable with future arm releases (but no alternate arms this round).

Sweetness....

well I'm going to need 2 of those as well

Holy crAap thats cheap. Im down for 3, until he tells us how to buy more

If theres a way to buy more than 3, ill be down for 7, plus 20 or 40 troopers i havent decided. Thatll be all i need to make my Knight Company (using these crusaders as the baron and the paladins, with scratch built wardens and dreadknights as lancers)

so Since I've already pledged for the 165 2 crusader option, if I want to add on 2 of the little guys, I just increase my pledge total by 79 right? I'd still leave my reward option as the 165 one? Doesnt seem to be an easy way to select multiple reward options

Just add $35 for each more after 3.

So 245 plus shipping of 21 just for these (assuming the starting 15 is added before)

Yep, basically choose any reward level, and total the right amount of cash, theyll be a survey at the funding of the kickstarter to find out exactly what you wanted.

Well I might just build a grey knights army now. Storm troopers as inquisition. Mini Levi as dreadknights, big Levi as an allied warhound.

Glad to see the mini get moved forward, I was not as excited about the chainsaw.

Making history! The world’s first 15mm - 1/100 scale, Injected plastic, science fiction model kit for tabletop gaming!
This kit has all the features and details of its big brother, fully poseable, featuring quick swap weapon arms for future releases.
This kit comes complete with advanced capacitor coolers and the Excalibur sword option!

1 for $44
2 for $79
3 for $105

NOW GO PLEDGE DAMN YOU

@Mark: If we wanna buy more than three how much extra do we add to the 105 per 15mm crusader?
