Good point!

Also- just noticed that yesterday's pledge total was only $207 short of the first day total . Clearly, adding arm add-on options was a smart move!!

Thanks everyone for the pics, that has sealed my support for this. Need me somethi g to sit beside my stompa on my shelf

With the new arms, this might make the Stompa feel emasculated!

Or he can just steal one of the arms .

$2 away from $65K! Two measly dollars

Im personally springing for the 15mm as a Knight. I dont like the large Knights that are almost the same as a Warhound, but thats just personal opinion. I do think the 15mm is slightly too small for that, with a bit of leg extension and fixing that bare torso that i dont particularly like, i should be able to bring it up to 6", which is the same size as my scratch built Warden.

Plus, you know, getting the smaller one means i get more for my money

Nova Cannon stretch... achieved!



Next up... Ripper Saw



Probably the most "40k-esque" of all the weapons, I think.

Dang I was one of the guys lucky enough to get one of the resin big boys. But I'm hooked pledged for another one with arm options and more foot soldiers. Wife is going to kill me.lol

You know, I've been looking around for this, but being a slow, old man I can't seem to find the answer. When the Mortis is unlocked, will we be able to swap the crusader that we pledged for for one? Don't get me wrong, I love both levis but the Mortis fits my traitor guard's look much better. If not, hey no problem - I'll end up getting a mort later anyhow

I don't think he's explicitly laid that out yet. I believe the answer is going to be YES, and that it will be the exact same cost as the Crusader. All of the weapon add-ons will be made to fit either (with the extra armor Crusaders have included as an extra piece that you can just leave off the Mortis).

Nothings been said about the Mortis so far in terms of price/availability

i'd guess you will since the bulk of the kit is the same as the crusader, but a guess is all it is

Although it is mostly the same bitz for the kit, there is no telling how they were laid out on the sprue, though. If the armour was interspersed with the chassis, then it would make little sense to sell us so many "useless" bitz.

If it was laid out that the chassis was a sprue, the armour was another one, the arms were on separate sprues, then really all he has to spring for are the new arm sprues and a toes/death's head sprue. Otherwise, its another massive investment for Mark.

It'll take some converting, but I think these things would make fantastic Warmachine Colossals. Anyone know about the footprint? Would it fit on a base the size of a CD?

I like the idea of a Mortis with two long melee weapons and a big shoulder mounted cannon as a Cryx Kraken. My only worry is that the thing is too big to fit on the base and the 15mm version is too small.

I think the footprint will be more along the size of a single. For those old enough to remember vinyl.

That's 7" for anyone else wondering.

It might work. But it might be just a bit too big. Too colossal to be a colossal.

Unless the plastic kit can be built with it's legs closer together. Are the legs very posable?

I'm with you on this one - the smaller one will make a better Knight.

I've see RiTides' resin versions in person, and they are BIG - I think one that is 1" short will be plenty big enough to represent a Knight, while at the same time being a bit smaller will make it a better proxy for that chassis in 40K.

How tall are the colossals?

I've spread the word to my gaming group on these, the break down a page or two back on what you get for the money is pretty awesome and really sells the deal

The Cygnar & Khador ones appear to be about 6 inches tall, give or take a bit. So the 28mm Leviathan is way too big. The 15mm scale might be a bit on the short side, but with some clever basing they could pull it off.

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

Seems to be around 5 inches.

That's what she... nevermind.

And what's the Dreadknight height again?

Mine is ~ 4 "

Wow... this could be taken into a whole new direction, right?

Yes. Yes it could!

While Im pulling for maximum income on this, Ill be all set after $95k. Im currently in for 2 Crusaders, but thats going to change. If we clear the 95k mark Im going to change it to a Crusader, Nova cannon, HEL cannon, and both claws.

Im also super excited about the freebie Shadokesh. That and if we get high enough seeing the APC concept.

I would personally use the full-size Crusader as a 40K scale Knight. Knights are much bigger than Dreadknights. Remember that when they were available for Epic scale, Knights were on normal 25mm slotta-bases and most were the same size as 28mm Space marines.

The old 5.5 inch resin might work, but the 4.5 inch version is on the side of too small, IMHO. Especially when you take into account that one of the knights (Errant, I think?) had an arm that was a battle cannon with (I think) coaxial twin-linked heavy bolters.

As far as I know, Knights are the Imperial match for Stompas.

Spoiler:

If that scale comp is correct, then the knight in that pic is 8" tall GW plays fast and loose with its scale so you never can tell what it should be
