Holy gak balls! That thing looks fething amazing. It's seriously above and beyond my expectations. The rules are terrible, but we knew that already, but the model is simply amazing. I haven't been that impressed with a GW model since... since I don't know!

I think these look bloody amazing, pleasantly surprised at GW for doing something that's a bit risky. Gonna support this with my wallet, well played GW

I'm just comparing the Knight Paladin to 2 Leman Russ and sobbing quietly.

This had better be real!!!

If someone has spent enough time to fake this this well - head will roll

He was about 50/50. He got credit for all the easy ones and then failed on all the specifics.

You are being very generous on him; the things he got correct can be deduced by just looking at the Epic scale knights.

On the other hand, it shows that you are unbaised, fair and very exact. The very things clowns like Natfka disavow you. You get my respect for that!

Ignore the rules. We knew the rules would be God-awful. Just look at the pretty model.

VERY cool looking. Credit where credit is due.

I shudder to think of what it will do to game balance, (and how much it will cost) but that is one spiffy looking demi-titan.

*Cries inside because once they start selling plastic titans by the boatload GW will never make another fantasy model again*

You can ally them? So, you mean I could ally a Knight to my CSM army as Allies of Convenience? Please tell me it's true. Please.

My spiky bits are waiting.

Sure...



I can get 2 of these for the likely price of one of them.

With £15 left over, I imagine...

Reports seem to put its RRP just above the WK, so no.

But, the Knight is prettier.

At least IMO.

Probably everyone except tyranids, for game balance reasons
Good thing I don't care about Imperial models.

I would strongly disagree.

...just IMO.


You're going to see a boatload of those 15mm levis as knights now, though. Heh, if I'd still play 40k...

Regular posters will know I'm not one of Gw's biggest fans, bit I've always maintained I'll praise where I see cause to. Now I've had time to look, rather than faffing around putting pics in the OP etc...

Bravo GW, bravo.

I might even get two, or more, rather than magnetise, even in the knowledge they'll seldom see action.

Beautiful models, just lovely.

They're... Knights. I don't know why I'm so surprised at this, but they've taken the Knight concept and just bigger-ized it. They haven't drastically changed what a Knight is, they haven't altered aesthetics, they didn't make it a smaller Warhound or something like that. They made a Knight. A real Knight.

I'm impressed.

I could even see myself thinking about one. Especially using earlier-than 6th edition rules, there are Vehicle Design Rules for that sort of thing. Probably make them cost MORE for a similar build, too. Considering we know the stats for a Knight, that would actually be an interesting experiment, because I can see VDR rules for everything on those knights, other than a different way to approximate the Ion Shield.

Oooh, the practice my freehand is going to get on this baby!

I like them, but I don't think I really want a Knight.

I'll get the White Dwarf to have the rules, but no Knight I think.

Glad I got an airbrush...

And now I'm excited to see the expanded range of kits that Forge World will make with this as a basis...

Those models are lovely, I'm very excited about this now.

Ignores effects that reduce armour and anything that wrecks or destroys it takes D3 HP instead.

Does it also ignore things like the Melta rule*?

*said by a dude who just built a Ravenwing Army with spammed meltas.

I think they look even better thant fw titan

If they are priced at the same cost as a Lord of Skulls, you will be able to get one 28mm scale leviathan and a single arm swap option or around the same price. You might be able to get two 15mm Leviathans for that price, but they look to be significantly smaller than the Knight and have fewer options.

I'm impressed.

Of course to balance out the lovely model, the Imperial Knights digital codex will include all-new fluff about the Knights being an organisation founded during the Great Crusade by ordinary humans who saw the Ultramarines fighting and were so struck by their obvious majesty and superiority and by the Genius that is Robert Goolieman, they now don huge armoured suits just so they can pay homage to those greatest of beings etc etc

I chose that specific link with great care... That's the 8.5" 28mm scale Leviathan on sale from Northstar Games for £40.00.

Don't be silly. The Knights will be an Iron Hands invention, but they gave them all up as they strived harder and harder to be the most Codex Chapter ever.

I know its not completely concrete evidence but the manager from my local GW store mentioned, just the other day, that the guard/imperium could be getting something along the lines of a miniature titan, or stompa sized model, although he is also in the dark like the rest of us as GW dont tell thier employees much.

Sensible to clear them out before the GW release I guess.

If it's 8.5", it'll be gigantic compared to the GW model; if it is on the 120mm oval base, they're only going to be a bit taller(but bulkier in the torso) than the Dreadknight.
