Picked up three today. Putting one together now. Very impressive model. The wraith knight may be taller but the bulk of this bad boy more than makes up for it!

So it looks around 6.5". I'll measure it myself when I get one because it's hard to know what the parallax error is when viewing a picture

It's a dead horse resurrected everytime someone used the two words together as common sense would dictate. I'm glad you pointed that out so we can now (hopefully) put that incorrect habit of "correcting" fellow posters to rest.

Just when I think GW has done everything they can to make me hate them, they do something like this....and I'm in love again. Slapping "Titan" on there is such a stick in the eye of pedantry that I almost want to buy one of these just as support for this one thing.

Did anyone just hear a whooshing, smashing kind of noise? A bit like the Death Star going "boom" in Star Wars?
That was Platuan4th's head going kabloowie in shock!!!
Also, thank you for the photo's...maybe we can finally put the whole "8 inches versus 6 inches" thing to rest...
And I just finished reading the latest WD - some of the Knight colour schemes are amazing.

Using Inks and Washes

Right, so where am I on all this.... Firstly I think its important to say I haven't played a game of Warhammer (any version) for years and I mean years. Lately I have wanted to get back into the hobby but haven't been able to find the right army and/or gaming group to do so, which for me is very important.
I was blown away by how awesome the Knight model is and knew I want to build and paint one or more of these monsters. Then the rules became apparent and in all honesty I'm very disappointed, It doesn't seem to give me much choice, and I like choice! The Knight army equation is - Game Points Total divided by 375 = Army. There is no options, I can get away just about with having one model, but I want options, things to consider - I want 4 choices of arm weapon per arm... I want the option of double cannons or double chainsaws.... or power fists.... or something, but I don't, I want upgrades - different heads do stuff.... banners?.....
I really don't understand the reasoning behind the codex unless they are only really meant to be taken as allies.
This all said I still go back to my first point, I don't play often and that doesn't look like changing too soon, but I'm still really looking forward to putting together and painting an awesome model, but that is all.

Do it! Just budget for a lot of building and painting time for the Titans. Plan is to get a small Dark Mechanicum force to go with this, around 3/4k, as a support force now that FW are doing the rules and models.
I love the kit, took about three hours to build all four, another hour for the conversion work so far. I've an hour of battle damage and additional conversion work to go before they go to my friend to paint in a black to red fade to match the style of the Titans.
Only thing I didn't like about the kit was the legs, its easy to remove the lugs to change the angle but the foot plate is at a fixed angle. To cap it off the actual leg is a single piece, going to be tough if you want to chop it to change the angle of the knee.
You can see that they have planned the kit well for future conversion kits, all the imperium branded bits are separate with standard mounting points and there is a top hatch you could replace with a carapace weapon.

You seem to be prepared for 40K 7th edition quite well! I salute you! Big time D slapper!
To everyone else whining how Chaos might not have access to these Knights: I don't know how many times it needs to be repeated, but you can actually play Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Imperial Guard etc, with using Chaos models. Meaning, everything WYSIWYG and codex legal but actual conversions to the traitor side. In 5th edition the SW codex built much stronger Chaos armies than the actual Chaos codex anyway. Blood Angels represent Khorne very well. Mephiston is basically a Daemon Prince. Build a large enough SM/ IG or Chaos/Traitor IG collection and you can pretty much use half the codices in the game to build armies.

1. Knights are and always were a form of Titan. This is not a retcon.
Dreadnaughts and Sentinels are not forms of Titan. Knight suits have a throne in which the knight sits, he is imprinted upon it during a vigil (old fluff) and it is controlled with MIU links. The Knight was introduced because of the surge in popularity of Battletech at the time and are one man Mech sized Titans. The Knight pilot, also a knight of himself is synonymous with a Princeps.
2. Disappointed about the new Codex. After all is said and done they didn't even wait to add other types of knight in the book, thus requiring .pdf supplements and add ons.
I have ordered my Knight online, thanks to the thread for the heads up of TotalWargames.com 30% discount offer. But I am not buying the book. If all the codes is going to offer are two units then I will write down what I need to know on a piece of paper and look at the store copy to pick a House to paint my knight up in.
Also no one has mentioned peasants in Sentinels which is a missed opportunity.
So even when GW get them choice of model to release exactly right, they still feth it up.

My guess is that Chaos knights are gonna be a FW thing. That's a mixed bag of sorts since on one hand that means the options are likely to be more interesting and varied from the imperial versions, but pricey to play and with the whole stigma of being FW models. If FW does the Chaos Knights you get add-ons like the god specific add-on bits... Or bits like the decimator for undivided... GW would have probably just thrown the same stupid chaos vehicle accessory sprue in and called it a day.

Wrathful Warlord Titan Commander

Saw these today at GW lakeside and it is as nice as I had've hoped. I won't get one for six months (gotta start and finish me dwarves first!) but this is deffo one that will be mine.
I also got I thumb through their copy of the IK Companion. This really is a very nice book. As others have noted its purely a source book but the content presented is very nice, there's lots of plates of house knights and there looks to be plenty of fluff included. If you want a comparison for quality then It's a FW imperial Armour book in essence (sans rules). It falls down with the price but I a am considering this, particularly if I get the Mrs to buy it for me as a birthday present.
