I'm sure that was a legit design constraint when they were trying to produce the kit.

Care for some more tinfoil?

No, actually.

I have the kit and the instructions in front of me and while that "arm" bit can take a magnet, the gun mount itself is shared between the melta and cannon variants. Each also has separate bits to glue on as detail for their respective gun.

Looking at the instructions, you'll need duplicates of parts 9, 20, 21, 22, 23 to make both weapons without skipping bits. Only part 9 can possibly be optional. You might be able to make press mold for 20 + 21 but there's no way you're doing it for 22+23 and having it work.

Unless some Chinese firm clones these bits illegally or Chapterhouse comes up with an alternative "adapter" then we're probably S.O.L. here.

Magnetize behind the shields & the ammo & gas tanks too....easy.

Be sure to post your tutorial once you have yours done.

22 & 23 are shared?

If so, then yeah I see where you are coming from. I was under the impression that 22 & 23 was the housing for one of the weapons and that the other had a different housing. Which made me think that there might be a way to magnetize the joint there and slide either weapon onto the bottom of 20/21.

How the heck do you read this thing?

Faction on top, alliance level below.

I read it as Chaos cannot take knights as allies.

By Wed, 3/5. Hang tight. Plus I am making the left leg bending and crushing a trench line...(and painting like Boba Fett).

true story, chaos can not take knights....least not for another month or three till gw can re-release the knight kit, with additional spike spure and charge another $140 for it along with a new spikey knight codex release

Double posted, sorry

Or until I do it just to make H.B.M.C. rage at the interwebs again.

only this way.

I wonder if those two kits actually fit together?

I hope BL also releases a horus heresy novel about a knight detachment siding with horus

Is it wrong I quite like the one on the right?

Get rid of the chaos stuff and the one on the right would actually look like one of the old Knight variants from Epic/Titan Legions.

Both of those vastly improve on the Khornedozer.

I've always wanted to pick up a Khornedozer as a basis for making that Looted Golden Throne a reality...

Would the flaming skull be for the legion of the Damned supplement?

the wings and skull is the normal Space Marines as you can see in the normal core book allied chart. The flaming skull and cross bones is new, I suspect Legion of the damned.

I believe it is.

And is Cypher a Battle Brother? Or am I misreading that not-DA icon?

Were did that chart come from, just wondering?

So if I have a compass, I can't take a Knight unless it's an Apoc game.

Got it.

That allies chart looks like the one in the the legion of the damned codex. I'm actually working on a comprehensive chart in the style of the one in the BRB. Just have to wait until the knight codex is available for download as I imagine there is similar chart like the one posted in the knight codex.

Or you know, you can cast your own parts....there's a handy tutorial on how to do it somewhere here on Dakka.

Quit being Mr. Grumpy-pants and find a way to achieve your goals. You can do it!

Looking at the sprue it seems like maybe you can magnetize he guns from the shield forward...

Agreed!

Looking forward to seeing someone's Khornedozer conversion to that Imperial Warden 1.

Chapterhouse coming out with alternate parts for the Knight would just about triple the chances of me getting a Knight.

Seize the day! Someone probably believes in you! No-one here, but don't let that discourage you! I think someone very like you could, given the right circumstances, probably achieve his or her fairly modest goals. Take this words and let them lift you to success on wings of sarcastic indifference!
