Yes, each class will have its own head.

That's kinda what I'm thinking. The head for one is god awful, and the style around the whole thing is inconsistent. The blocky/boxy riveted torso doesn't seem to mesh well with the rounded studded shoulder pads and rounded legs.

The excellent detail all around the arms is great but the chainsaw blades on the CCW are just triangular blocks. It looks half finished on the chainsaw. The poseability is nice though, but it's not really the way I imagined it was going to turn out.

Not my cup of tea.

Thanks for at least explaining what you dont like.

Done. ;p

------------------------------------

Painted pics of at least the nurgle one ive completed upcoming.

For those that don't like the head, to what I'm doing:

Magnetize the head area(I hate converting models I have only 1 copy of and can't really get anymore) so that you can swap them, then grab one of these and make a head more like the Epic version.

I didnt mnd the studs and rivets so much as i hated the head, chainsword and the feet

Heh what confuses me is a lot of people..

the WIP pics have been up for quite some time....


Rather confused as if something totally changed between then! lol.

Could it possibly be that some people didnt see this thread until maybe a few days ago? Ever think about that one? Nooo? Ok then.

I'm simply talking to the people who had seen it before and made comments.
And just quite suprised by their reactions - as the WIP and the final are the same

Not you JP heh.

No beef~ No beef to anyone - just suprised~!

Ok, my mistake...

Nothing to see here, carry on!

< Is still stoked the head well I will wait to see paint on it

Well, good news and bad news.

Good news is kits have been doing well.

Bad news is, this particular variant is going to be sold out soon.

Pics shortly of a nurgle one.

*edit* Oh, there is always the option to buy a paladin kit and simply request a head from one of the future variants, or simply, make your own to go with it. ;p

Are the Bionicle stuff the right scale then?

If so, wow!

I'm interested in the Price, could I please get a PM?

Great work!

I had some new information to share...

- We will offer the kit as long as we can, until the molds burn out. If you need to make payments over time, that would be fine with me. That way we can lock you into an order for one or two! I would pull them with the other orders and set them aside for you.

- There has been some interest in putting together a Knight Household, so we’re going to give a $25 discount when you buy a second Knight. And a $50 discount on a third Knight. This would also be a good opportunity for groups/clubs to pool together. Get three Paladins, or one of each class!

- Someone had a request to take the bumps off the shins and right shoulder. They wanted it to look like the old-school Beakie Marines! Cool, huh? I can prep them for you if you need. Here is a pic of the modified parts:






- My Knight, with it’s dynamic pose, fits right on a 160mm oval base.



The one’s over at IronHalo.net (http://www.ironhalo.net/store/catalog/) are really cool, but were not wide enough for me. If you had him standing fairly square, then 120mm might be enough for you. Just a heads up.

And personally, I really like the head. It has a cool Miyazaki-feel to it.

Excellent info.

Hi,
I love the knight titan. I would like to purchase one if they're still available. Please PM me with price and availability, and paypal email if applicable. If paypal is unacceptable I can send check/ money order, etc. Great work, keep it up.
Cheers.

There are only a few kits left, grab them while you can!

Also note...

- If you want two cannon arms, or two CCW arms, we can do that! Just make a note when you make your payment.

- For those who don't like the head, we can offer you a "headless" Paladin! Just make a note when you make your payment, and be sure to take $20 off your order!

I am interested in the cost and depending on that may like to get one.

oooh very nice. wait.. no, damn you. I was going to sell knight titans too once i make them. Damn you! No but really nice job. seriously.

Chaos kits coming soon? If so - can't wait for those one as well.

Who told you about the chaos ones?! ;p

Twelve posts up you mention a "nurgle one"... so I'm thinking you did.

Silly human.

TrooperPX wrote:Twelve posts up you mention a "nurgle one"... so I'm thinking you did.

Silly human.

That one i refer to isnt a chaos kit, its just a normal kit thats been nurgle-fied.

Ok so people, im open to suggestions and ideas. I need ideas for heads as well as if I should make variants of the paladin before making the warden next. What do you guys think?

Im open to really any ideas.

Since the head was a point of hesitation for some, yes, more heads.

Next would be arm/weapon options. What else can we put on the Paladin chassis? Did I see it have a Powerfist? Was the other an Inferno Cannon? You mentioned to me these were for the "Barron" class of Knight, but I think options to really gear out this first Knight would be cool, and allow people to personalize it more. Especially if the body is the same and you have new shoulders and shins to swap out, they'll have the same visual "feel" to them, but with different bling.

Keep the momentum going... rock it out!




P.s. Oh... I thought Nurgly things were Chaos!? I'm not familiar with all the Chaos/Daemons stuff, other than when they make my Tau go away... Can't keep it all straight.

Ok new options going to be released this month.

2 new heads. One more dark ages knight helmet and one more "cyber skull" like.

2 new armor options. When I say armor I mean the shoulders and shin armor. The new options will be smooth and trimed and then a layered plate armor like a tech marine.

3 new ranged weapon options including a projectile cannon, twin mini cannons and a heat cannon.

3 new CC weapon options including a power maul, energy lance, and buzz saw.

All in all there will be a ton of options. But like before, they will all be limited runs.

From someone who has purchased one of your first run models and is fairly excited to purchase future versions:

1) heads, definitely do some different heads, but I think you've got a handle on that.

2) Firearms: something that looks akin to a larger assault cannon would be cool. Old knight weaponry, from memory, were: a projectile cannon akin to a large battle cannon, a sort of larger multi-melta, the lancer had the energy lance, one of them had a missile launcher mounted on its back. Personally, I think the rotating multi-barreled cannon would just look cool.

3) CCWs: definitely do some sort of "power fist" style weapon. Perhaps, for originality some sort of "piston" style ramming weapon?

Also, a question: Will Trooper be willing to cast just specific parts? For instance, if I buy a second Knight kit when your next release comes out, could I purchase some of these new weapon/head options separately?

We are starting to pool up money so we can maybe get our hands on one or two of these but we will contact you our way

Regnirok wrote:Also, a question: Will (you) be willing to cast just specific parts? For instance, if I buy a second Knight kit when your next release comes out, could I purchase some of these new weapon/head options separately?

Yes, absolutely! All of these mentioned options will be available separately. Either pick what you want with your next Paladin, or add a part to the one you already have. That’s why I recommend pinning or magnetizing at least the (fore) arms, so you can swap them out as your Datasheet needs. Then again, you can buy several and mod them up permanently!

We’ve discounted the kit by $20 for those who didn’t want to get the original head, so most likely, that will be the price for the heads. The weapons will be sold individually, but can’t price those till I get a test pull done.

Excellent, most likely I will buy 1-2 additional with extra parts and magnetize those. My Reaver/Warhound require a Knight escort.

Thanks again, I'll be watching this thread for more info!
