The lore for my Chaos guys is that they're created from a wide variety of gene-seed stolen from different lineages (both Loyalist and not). They basically just decide for themselves which Legion or Chapter they feel closest to and decorate themselves accordingly.

As for Pre-Heresy, there's no real restriction on colour. A single squad in a single Chapter could have their own unique iconography and colour scheme for some reason, or you could have small groups from multiple Legions working together. The only time I can see anyone having a justifiable problem with it is when you put down your assortment of Imperial Fists, World Eaters and Iron Warriors and say "Here are my Raven Guard".

Only time that would be acceptable is when you say "here are my Alpha Legion"

Nah, when you drop that bomb you have to gesture to your opponent's army

EDIT: Weird double post happened.

EDIT2: And then the board ate the one I kept in its original form.

It's funny that you should say that, after what I said about my own CSM. They're "Not Alpha Legion" because an Alpha Legion cell helped their "creator" (a rogue Inquisitor) get started with the whole thing. Any Astartes bearing Alpha Legion colours and iconography in my warband is most likely actually just one of the many who venerate the Alpha Legion and decorate themselves accordingly, which suits the Alpha Legion just fine. Or maybe that's just what they want you to think. Or both. Or neither.

Personally I like the IW dread. It looks to me that they went for a look that alludes to IW style of warfare, not pretty in the least, and as subtle as sledgehammer. It gives me the vibe of being siege after siege after siege and have little time for full repairs or refits in between.

It reminds me of an atlas assault mech

Knight Castigators out now:

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/CERASTUS_KNIGHT_CASTIGATOR.html

No rules?!?!!?


WHY NOT!

Don't really like the lancer but that one looks bad ass, goodjob FW.

Might have to get one of those for my Sons of Horus further down the line.

Oh well, calm you tits. (the birds that is ) Models that are released between books always have a 1 to 3 week lag before the Pdf appears in the Downloads section. It happened to the Lancer, and it happened to the Sicarian Venator aswell. In any case, FW hit this one out of the park, best knight ever.

Awesome Castigator!

Sigh......my poor wallet. Whelp gonna need to save up for this one....300 bucks huh

You calm your tits, the lancer came with rules straight away.
The only thing I've been waiting for are the rules so it's a bummer they aren't ready yet.

It does Look total badass though, so not all dissapointment over here haha!

The only thing I don't like about the Lancer is the shield.

It looks like a piece of sprue - it's like they decided "Hell Yeah we can sell the sprues now too!" We're not wasting a piece of this resin.

Castigator looks great.

Have they revealed what type of gun it has yet?

Don't forget the other new stuff, the House Terryn Upgrade kit:

It has a Castigator pattern bolt cannon, from the description. I imagine it would be something like a downsized Vulcan mega-bolter.

"Castigator pattern bolt cannon"

So if it's anything like an avenger bolt cannon I'm guessing

X two linked shots range 24-36 @ strength 6 AP3

Ordered one to go with my Knight House, going to go for the classic leaning back pose with the minigun from Predator. Just need to source a chain of spent cases and the alternate head for this one, ideas welcome.

All I can say is.. wibble.

Ooh ta!

I've been planning to put a Vulcan megabolter (among other things) on a standard Knight, so at least I can use the Castigator's rules. I'm really not a fan of the Castigator, especially not compared to the standard Knight.

I don't care at all about House Terryn, but it's a start. Forge World, where is my Chaos Knight upgrade kit?

EDIT: Also, I keep misreading it on the Forge World site as CERASTUS KNIGHT CASTRATOR.

EDIT2: What House is the Forge World Castigator painted as? That's a lovely paint scheme.

So, we still don't know what the gun does, other than guessing something between a Vulcan and an Avenger.

I'm also curious about the sword, it might have a special rule or two.

The head needs to be more obviously demonic to fit in with my other knights, I've attached the Lancer's head below to give you an idea of what I've had done with my other Knights. Another Mierce head might do but I fancy something other than a Fiend of Dis head, may be a big wolf's head? I'm also debating the lord of skulls head if I can get one, my Knight House is Khorne themed to match my Titan Legio

Yes but where is the power fist/claw for the knight at!

Was just asking about the Castigator too the other day haha

One of the rare cases in which GW is better than FW. The Imperial Knight kit is a masterpiece of model design with the sheer amount of detail and the beauty of the Knight itself (even all four of its heads are attractive). I feel both the Castigator and Lancer are a little gangly and awkward, and possibly a tad too big (it's taller than a Warhound Titan?) and I don't really like the head design.

Agreed on all counts!

I was really hoping FW was going to be making all/most of the Knights based off of GW's plastic version...
