These look really impressive to me. I like that the paint jobs hark back to the original artwork and compliment the models perfectly.

The best 'eavy metal paint work in a while I think!

I ran knight Households in Epic, years back..

Only one thing though:

WFT GW! Orks iz still waiting! Give uz shiniez before yer bring out Moar noo stuff fer da hoomies!

Seriously, its getting beyond a joke now

Yes. The other day i looked over all the armies, ran through a checklist of past armies, and said to a couple customers "well, with the rumors of a new IG codex, that pretty much clears the way for orks. Nothing else they can do unless they make up something brand new, or someone gets two new codices before orks get one."

Recreating that image with a 28mm Leviathan is hilarious. It shouldn't be hard for the enemy to discover which of my upcoming household is the leader.

So the 15mm version could be a good match.

Not sure thats the right word but lime the dreadnaught it seems too ungainly for me. Im not sure why anyone would design such a machine.

You're free to like or dislike as you see fit of course, but you do understand that the top heavy, slightly hunched aesthetic has been a feature of all Imperial Walkers since literally forever?

To make a kit that was tall and lithe simply wouldn't have worked.

If you're talking about Stormwall I agree. But not the other smaller warjacks. With the exception of the large models they've been doing lately I find the aesthetic of PP models to be far less appealing than 40k. Again, I would say I find the large PP kits more appealing than GWs, and I own 2 Wraithknights!

I also think the boys at GW HQ play and paint a lot more Warmahordes than we'd think. Not that they can admit those games even exist

Even compared to GW models it looks too cartoony, just my opinion.

The Leviathan and Knight are more interesting for their differences. They actually have proper legs, instead of waddling around like some kind of lizard.

Yes, I was talking about Stormwall (I had to go look it up because I didn't know the name). The only thing I don't like about it are the shoulder cannons but some conversion work would sort that out.

You know the art/design for the Knight has been out for 20 years right?

Looking at the ion shield rules, and a FAQ is required already.

Only because of players being pedantic, it says 4++ save on one facing, yet says against ALL HITS, so you could argue it works against ST D ranged attacks. Now, I kow what it says about D in escalation but.... The words say all hits.

Except D ignores the save. You get the 4++ , but then D just ignores the save

The resin 5.5" tall leviathans are likely the closest match in height.

So would you say about 7"- 8" tall?

Well according to google, the Trygon is only about 5.25", so the Knight is only 6 -7"tall.

Shorter than a Wraithknight.

 an inch shorter than the wraithknight

Yes.

The new iteration looks much more like these:

Yea the Knight is older than the company that made that so I think the reverse is more appropriate in this case

GW was around in the 1980s. So was Epic IIRC.

When I 1st saw the "warjacks" the 1st thing I thought of was the old epic titans.

If you mean PP ripped off the original epic knight designs for their figures?




Then yes.

OK you two who are apparently to cool for school. The 15mm is nearly 5" tall. Quick to judge much?

Yeah, they're like using up all of the ink on the Internet!

But you are right, it's annoying.

I was merely joking, not insulting chappy.

I can't wait to buy one of these, open the box, peek at the sprues, and then put it back in the box and store it unpainted for years.

lol, that hit a little too close to home for me.

Oy vey, talk about a jarring look in the mirror!

First thought when I saw the knights was 'Machine, heal thyself.'

Are these the same models represented in HH's Mechanicum?

if so I can totally see them being part of a regular 40K battle

I take out and read (then loose) the instructions too

it makes me happy (until I actually do get round to build it when I get annoyed I can't find them)

For me it's more

Open box, get excited, glue together, feel remorse for gluing it together when I should have magnetised and kept in sections to make painting easier, push half finished project to one side (despite it is far more relevant to one of my armies than this,) begin painting, run out of steam or get painting paralysis because I can't decide on the colour of some tiny detail, stop painting anything for a few days/weeks while I "think about it," get new models,open box.....etc etc..
