Honestly, all the worthwhile info is in the OP of this thread ((<------click on the handy link! ))

The only addition to that, is that people have been speculating that the base size may be like the LOTR mumak... so bigger than an oval base.

Oh, and this one extra pic. Maybe you can add it to the OP azrael?

Done.

Might as well add the vid too, doesn't add anything, but it might help prevent repeated reposts.

Excellent

Although looking back, I felt like there were bigger versions of the main pics in the OP in here somewhere (which I saved to my tablet of course ). I was able to zoom in and read the text easier... but maybe that was just due to it being on a tablet and nothing else.

Very likely, I was having issues with the original pics, as they all had the same file name once I downloaded them into my tablet, meaning I couldn't attach them, so I uploaded them to photobucket and hot linked from there.

I think Pretre posted them as attachments, so filter thread for him and you should find bigger copies.

I can see the text ok on mine though.

You're right! Here's the link to his post with the big pictures: LINK

And here are the urls for the huge versions of the pictures themselves. Click on the pics once you open the links to zoom in!

So, taking one of the large photos and scaling the base to a Mumak base (180mm/7" long) gives a knight that is 150mm/6" tall. Scaling to a 120mm oval base makes the Knight much too short (under 5").

Print this pic to get the probable actual size:

Goodbye Tax Return, hello two knights. I Wonder if I can find any furs to hand off of it

Easy enough.

Hit up a craft store/fabric store/leatherworking store for rabbit hides

I wonder if green stuff will work well with Faux Fur. I am gonna have to make a wolf head for the fur/knight

Does anyone know more about the mechanicum side of the codex?

As in will they have a list, and are there other machine type models to be released with these knights?

And is it just the knight's themselves or more models?

The dimensions of one of the knights would be lovely.

Like how tall, wide, etc.

Op has all the info (again)

Roughly the size of a wraith knight if what I read was correct and priced the same as lord of skulls so roughly 160 american

Go up 5 posts above your original post (the one with the pic). Download the pic and print it out. Measure pic to get all the measurements you want...

So, rules wise, which one is better? The double battle cannon one or the Melta one?

Given Tourney meta, probably double battle cannon? But if your club play is like most, melta might be better, given the mobility of the platform.

printed as directed, and am so excited. I have no idea why but I cant wait to get my hands on one or two of these and model the hell out of it.

guys, look at the shoulder gun. I think that is the Heavy Stubber

I dunno if this is "grain of salt" time, but BOLS has a "Imperial Knights and your Wallet" thread on these which is reporting that the transfer/ decal sheet will only be sold seperately for USD$20.

It's posted in the comments on the thread, and no-one is screaming the poster (Mike M) down, they all seem to be agreeing with him that it raises the price to USD$160.

I didn't see this mentioned in the original post here, has anyone heard anything to suggest "bollocks" or is it legitimate?

I am usually one to hoot and hollar at GW making me pay too much for their stuff, but 160 for a mini titan, I am not groaning at this one. its such a model that I imagine there are going to be special decal transfer sheets for it, I might just pring some images off, cut em and stencil em if I need to. but the OP has "Priced the same as Lord of Skulls" so roughly 160 range anyway.

Well, much as Faeit is mistrusted as a source he's got a price list up that looks valid. $140 for the knight kit and $20 (direct) for the transfer sheet. Though there's no indication whether you get a sheet in the box or not. Personally, I suspect that the separate sheet is aimed at those who just want to add them to other things. Either way, $140 for the knight (with or without transfers) is vaguely acceptable in my book, especially once discounters get it up.

Oh, I'm not commenting on the price, if this indeed turns out to be the case (my obvious hope, though, is that the $20 refers to additional transfer sheets, and that you do get one included with the Knight.)

I'm just interested to see what the fact of the matter is.

And how did we get OT to the point of talking about discounters' sex lives?! I don't care if they "get it up" or not!

I see what you did thar, and you got an exalt for it.

I'd be more worried if it stays up after more than four hours, you know?

But yeah, here's hoping I get my usual discount on this pretty as well.

Ba-doom ching!

Thank you, I'm here all week! Make sure you try the lasagna!

Man, rumors of this coming out in March, Ig coming out in March, Diablo III expansion coming out in March... My wallet is going to hate me. Good thing I have two weeks of vacation in March and a tax return coming in soon.

I wonder how much plastic card in would need to make this look more like a mini warhound. I for one really don't like the way it looks, granted on my work computer only one of the pictures shows up so it might be a lot better than I think. This and the new plastic storm troopers make me wonder who got canned and who replaced them. Along with the rumored plastic salamanders my attention to new 40k sky rocketed.

Yep, could be a real expensive month...OR you could hold off on the Knights until you see what goodies FW come up with to customise them.

"Plastic Salamanders"? I hadn't heard about them - interesting. (I take it you're talking fire-loving, dark-skinned, Primarch Vulkan-type Salamanders, and not...lizards?)

can Chaos Marines use them?

Salamaders as in IG transports with auto cannons .

20 USD for a transfer sheet? Seriously? Even if this was A3, this would still mean like 20000% of the material costs in revenue. I wonder who would even consider this.

Well no, but then again nobody has to worry about GRRM deciding they die (unless he's a GM or Tournie Official lol).
