Yeah, but wouldn't it be so much cooler with BLOODKNIGHTTITANFISTS?

This model which, to our knowledge may not actually exist? How cool would that added speculation be? And maybe there's some crossover! Maybe the Bloodknighttitanfist was donated to them by the Blood Angels, and Dante could be taken as a troop choice. Awesome.

The whole point of GK is that no matter how huge the monstrosity, it is brought down by one human with the power of faith and skill. Angron was banished by one dude. Why would the GK need a bigger physical machine to fight daemons?

Because it took 100 dudes. It was just one dude who landed the final blow.

Wrong.
100 GKT vs 12 Bloodthirsters and Angron. Only one GKT made it into combat with Angron and stood his ground. He then burnt out the entirety of his soul to banish Angron.

Weren't there 20 Bloodthirsters? It was q full company of Grey Knights versus Angron and a score of Bloodthirsters. Is a score not 20 (I get confused with old-timey words that mean numbers. Why not just use the number?)

i wonder why is evrybody trashing GW on things they havnt named or constructed yet? your all talking like they already made the worst possible codex with you negatiefthoughts. this message is of course for those involved you know who you are look at your post

Because "he knows something you don't know".

And is apparently milking it for all it's worth...

So, what you mean is you know. Thought I'd missed something.

Yes, some of us here know things.

Some of us here pretend to know things.

It's a game for the rest of you to figure out what's what.

I have no problem with you 'knowing' things, but it helps if you say how. I don't need to know where, who or why, but knowing it is legit makes a difference

i know nothing and pretend too know nothing he does that make me awesome too? wait don't awser that i know something.

really anticlimatic H.B.M.C. and really mature. too me it sounds that your not all to reliable

No worries mate - I know you don't know anything. That's never been a mystery. What is a mystery though is how you can spell my username correctly... yet can't find the shift key. Bizarre no?

UltraPrime wrote:I have no problem with you 'knowing' things, but it helps if you say how. I don't need to know where, who or why, but knowing it is legit makes a difference

Ya see, it's one of those catch-22 problems. If I say how I know, then I will be forever cut from knowing any more, but if I don't say how I know, you won't believe me. Lose/lose. All I do is occasionally point out where something is wrong (ie. yes the Dreadknight exists, no it does not have 'Bloodfists', no the book is not a Cruddance book). That's about it.

I realise I'm not being very helpful, and I certainly don't do this out of spite (or even ego). I would love nothing more than to tell you about new background, weapons, squads, and the mighty Dreadknight, and many of you know how much I despise GW's insane (and inane) levels of secrecy, but it is a secrecy that I'm essentially stuck behind. And I hate that. But I have no choice. Reds8n's in the same boat BTW. He has his own outside sources separate to my own and like me he's grinding his teeth being unable to simply go "No you fools! It's called a ******* *******!". But he can't either. Maybe that's the way GW wants it? They have all these secrets, and any of us who find out those secrets live in fear of ever revealing them. It's diabolical!

I can say though that I haven't seen the GK Codex. That's the 100% truth. That doesn't make what I'm saying untrue however.

Actually my lord, I believe warseer came up with the name..its something of an internet meme, to tell the truth. Whether it is real or not is yet to be seen. Unless you admit to "Know something we don't"

In which case you will receive the below statement.

I hate you bitterly

Hey H.B.M.C, those stars you've put instead of a name, do they correspond with the characters in the weapons name? If so, I guess "Blessed Gauntlet". If not, *shrug*, it was work time I was wasting.

Kanluwen wrote:You know, I can almost see a "Dreadknight" working in the following circumstance.

It's not really a "Terminator inside", but it amounts to a psychically driven construct that has a Terminator controlling it from the outside. Think "warjack".

So we are gonna get a GK dread with an antenna on top?

No, it really does exist and really is called that.

The first part of that should be obvious to almost anyone. The second is actually a bit helpful to anyone with some patience. It does give a bit of direction to things.

Im still hoping its a Knight titan, or something of that scale. On one hand it would make sense to do it, it could cross over to all SM chapters, and SM are in dire need of something Apoc/superheavy sized.

On the other hand the fact that it would such a wildly huge success pretty much guarantees GW wont do it. Instead they will make a couple more SCs.

Regardless Im still looking forward to it, whatever it may end up being.

Hope all you want but sadly it's no where near that size (note - I have not seen it, but the description doesn't peg it to be any bigger than a Dread). Previous rumours for its armaments that came about via Warseer and Taco Bell are pretty close as well.

reds8n wrote:No, it really does exist and really is called that.

It's purely a term conceived entirely by Warseer; I saw it happen. Besides, other rumors peg it as having a Twilight-esque name.

Otherwise I'm beginning to suspect some extensive April Fools' joke surrounding this unit. Nothing's sounded right about it since day 1.

S7 Assault 12?!?!

Or the one that you can upgrade with a Jet Pack?

Reds8n is 100% on the money here.

I understand your reasons completely - I thought the idea of a 'Dreadknight' quasi-Dread was silly when I first heard about it - but it's real.

I said close, not exactly. The rumours mentioned a Heavy Blast Psycannon and a Gatling Psycannon (or something like that). And a Jet Pack? Maybe. As I said, I haven't seen the Codex. GK's tend to do things with Teleportation rather than Jump Packs, so maybe it's like the Warp Spider and is Jump Infantry but doesn't actually have a Jump Pack per se.

The main point I'm getting a cross is that I don't know much about the Dreadknight, but like many others here from various sources I do know that it is real. And if the GK Codex is finished, which I have no reason to doubt that it isn't, then it will stay a Dreadknight forever more.

AgeOfEgos wrote:*Shrug*, maybe I have an overactive imagination.....but I think the idea of a Grey Knight piloting around a big machine ala Matrix suit...is pretty freaking cool...

For me, more pentinent engine than matrix, but yes. I think it sounds quite cool as well and I expect GW should be able to make a pretty freakin' cool model of it. So I for one (two) quite like the idea of a Dreadknight.

As for it's name, I don't think it's that bad. It's a Grey Knight, almost dreadnought. Hence Dreadknight. We can all see the similarity and method there.
I mean, it's an actual true-to-life play on words!
It's not just shoving Knight, Blood or Wolf into the name of something, it's an actual play on words.
Bloodfist for example, is neither a play on words nor accurate as it is not a fist made of blood. Dreadknight on the other hand is...



And H.B.M.C and Red, I for one appreciate your honesty. I wish you could give more away rather than just the cryptic point in the right direction (could we just ask yes/no questions?), but I'm patient enough to wait and at least you have accuracy rather than speculation.

bhsman wrote:Besides, other rumors peg it as having a Twilight-esque name.

It's kind of vague as to what the rumor is referring to, though.

The rumor about a "special" Dreadnought is true. It has a really lame name (think Twilight).

Could go either way, but with Red and H.B.M.C. both piling on to say the Dreadknight is called Dreadknight... I do think it's referring to a SC dread.

No, it's definitely ego. You're only doing it to draw attention to yourself.

You could keep your mouth shut, and no one would be the wiser for it, but you don't.

Oh god. Here we go...

This is turning into Blood Angels all over again. And, like it, I'm feeling less and less enthusiastic about playing to the point of finding something else to spend my money on. And Daemonhunters were my first-ever army...

Now, let's not get crazy.

Right now, I'm looking forward to DreadKnights armed with KnightFists and KnightLances or KnightShields or KnightKnights.

Yeah.

The art of turning excitement into infighting is an art no company but GW has as thoroughly mastered.

I for, one, am looking forward to the Dreadknight. I'm happy it's confirmed as this will get me something to go up to Nobz bikers, Trygons, soulgrinders, Wraithlords and other similar stuff and punch them in the face.

I realize that it is frustrating to have these sources so close, but unable to be pumped for the information we want, but I actually like the fact that they can confirm some things.

Wouldn't you rather know a few things are totally bogus or legit than just hear wild guesses? I know I prefer hard information, even if it is just scraps and tidbits.
