Congrats Mark, these not only look great but are an amazing achievement in engineering and persistence.

On to the Mortis!!

Marines are not 10 feet tall. Most of them aren’t even 8 feet tall...

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).

Well that settles that then. Thank you cuda; you are a legend for posting this!

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

Now thats the spirit! Add the lowest price for each additional model ($35.00)

If you want more than one pledge do the math and pledge that at the end you get a survey to sort it out

@HBMC: So... going for the little guys?

hmm.. so hows about a full size mortis with big cannons, as a counts as warhound. Then a squad of 15mm crusaders as not-dreadknights. I'm so glad god invented credit cards.

After this is over, how about a new campaign for a reaver-sized not-titan of some sort?

back into "shut up and take more of my money" area

Sweet Mark! Im down for 7 then

I think you need a few more then that....if you only have 7 then 1 of the little guys wont have a buddy to play with

Yes but he is the Baron

Alright... so. I have some more questions:

1. Although they are unlikely to be part of this Kickstarter, is the current plan to duplicate all the full-sized Crusader weapon options for the 15mm Crusader?
2. Is there a plan to make a 15mm Mortis?
3. Even if you don't make a 15mm Mortis... could you make a 15mm scythe arm?
4. The 15mm Crusaders come with the capacitor backpack (which is great, BTW!). Will it also come with the big smoke stacks as well (as I want to use them on some terrain)?
5. Is the Mortis' scythe arm compatible with the Crusader?
6. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I'm sure I'll think of others (I've still got more than 2 weeks to decide!).


Wait! One more: Are those guns on either side of the Crusader's head... attached to either side of his upper torso? I never noticed those before. Can the barrels be replaced with other weapons, if one was so inclined?

if its the same as the resin one, they are guns and it would be pretty simple to convert any weapon to fit

I'd have to look at my resin version, but I think they are separate pieces. I do not think there are any alternatives for the chest guns at this point though.

All weapon arms will be interchangeable per Mark. You may have to wait a while for other 15mm variant chassis and weapons though.

Smokestacks should come standard, with the Capacitors as an option.

If these gain a lot of new backers.... Everything you see for the 28mm will be made for the 15! sooooo its up to you and others as to what gets slotted after 100k!

They are their own parts, they aren't build into the torso on the big or small version. a heavy bolter would be too big on the small version, maybe if you chopped it down a little.

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"

Yes, it certainly seems as if the 15mm version is just about perfect, doesn't it?!?

I'm in!

We will put you down for 7 as well!

If it is like other things (infantry, crusader) then it would be 35 apiece past 3.

Edit: Ninja'ed! By like 10 people

I am so excited by this now.... Its just a shame we have to wait till March to get the shinies

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

I'm planning on also getting the HEL Cannon when it becomes available.

HMBC, didn't you read the fluff posted a few pages ago?

Sheesh. =P

They are 20mm autocannons, for close defense. As for questions regarding the mortis' scythe arm, Mark has said that all Leviathans' arms will be interchangeable AND hot swappable. That alone makes these 1000 times cooler that FW titans.

Mark, you are truly a drug dealer. I thought GW cornered the market on plastic crack, but boy are you giving them a run for their money. I fudged with my other pledges to make room for a crusader and 4 arms. I have a strict "no more than $200 in any 3 month running period for kickstarter, otherwise I'd just have to change my direct deposit info to go to amazon.

I honestly never noticed them before!

Heck, I've painted one and I didn't actually notice they were guns either!!

Might have to repaint them

They are definately being used as flamers of some sort when I corrupt mine into the service of Chaos. I'm in the process of coming up with some rules for mine, to make it more of a walking firebase of death as opposed to a fast hunter like the warhound. Mark's leviathans have a positive gun size to chassis size ratio, which means I'm going for slightly stronger than warhound weapons on a slighty weaker and slower frame. something along the lines of 4 SP to the warhounds 3 and 2 voids. Perhaps a 5+ or 6+ "big effing daemon inside" save when it's stationary. Gonna need to do some play testing with my stompa to work out points costs and feasability, then I'll post them up here for you lot to shred to pieces. =D

Agree with this, I started off just wanted a big guy for my custodes army...then it turned into a big guy for my custodes and my flesh tearers....now each army needs a matching little guy...and I find myself wondering if my dark angel army needs a big guy and how difficult would it be to make robes for him to wear....

Once the mortis is unlocked I'm not sure how I'll avoid getting one for my khorne

With the additional weapon arms that are available, will we simply indicate which ones we want with the survey that will be sent out at the end? Or will there be another way to indicate which ones we want before that happens?

In the survey, he mentioned that on the Comments Section on the KS Page

I wasn't sure if that was still the case with the additional weapons, just wanted to be sure.

Yes, Mark, we'd like to have a talk with you. See, you keep pushing our buttons in just the right way, and we'd like to know how you do this.

Although I wasn't planning on it, I will not most probably pledge on two of the 15mm ones, at that price.

Can anyone point me to the relevant page of Codex: GK, that says we can use Inquisitorial Stormtroopers? I swore those were out of the codex.
