A thread starting 'Is it just me or.. ?' can never end well.
Personally I like them. Warjacks, Titans, Knights. They all share a lot of similarities but to me the Imperial Knight doesn't really look like a Warjack. The way the legs/arms are articulated, the shape/size of the pauldrons/shoulders, etc..

I think it has potential. It looks a bit to rigid. Like posing it won't have many options without cutting. But I love chopping up my toys for the extreme look.

It's like comparing a WoW Orc to a Skyrim Orc. They're both big, various shades of grey/green, have huge fangs and talk in rough voices.
But one is completely cartoonized version, while the other is a lot more real-world imaginable.
Anyway, I think they look fantastic, I also think the Wraithknight is the most beautiful model GW has released, followed by the Crimson Hunter and now I think the I. Knight will be my third favourite.

It's not just you. I think they look like crap.

Meh, not gonna buy one as I have never liked walkers really. I prefer the dream forge one. The GW one looks like those anime balls that pop into robots haha (I hate anime). Also the dream forge one can match the big version for a matching set of scout walkers and knights.
I also dont like the scout titan so Dream forge gets the money. The reaver titan however is gonna look great. I guess im no hunchback fan.

Agreed, I think anime is terrible. For this reason, Tau has never appealed to me...

You don't like walkers, but you like the DFG Leviathan? You don't like hunchbacks, but you like Reaver Titans? Your post is just a mess of self-contradictions.
This thread is nothing but the OP fishing for people who agree with him. It's pretty useless, as discussions go, since he's pretty much made up his mind. Mods, please close.

I dont like walkers REALLY (meaning there is room for a cool looking model.) I dont like Hunchbacks but the reaver doesnt have its head many meters our of its body like the warhound does. the reaver I dont mind as much, hence why I got it over the warhound. The dream forge walkers look nicer.
Its like me saying I dont reall ylike ww2 german armies but I love the stuka. Or I dont like ork armies but I wouldnt mind having a merc squad of them. Exceptions are normal but as a general rule I dont like walkers or hunchbacks.
