Atia's been spot-on so far with redirects, and they definitely do autocorrect and capitalize the Knight and Crusader/Warden bits when entered.

Oh goodie, here's hoping they'll also be included in HH 5 Tempest then, I want more Kniggits for my Questoris.

So what am I looking at?

How the heck do people find these things out?
Just type random things on GWs site and hope something sticks?

GW love a good leak, keeps the purse strings open.

I'm not sure how Atia does it, but you could make a program that just tries certain combinations keywords and see what returns a redirect. And of course, you could make intelligent guesses based on rumours about what's coming.

Knight Crusader! Break out those Quake Cannons...

Err, are we looking at a new dual kit or two upgrade sprues? GW hasn't done the latter in ages.

I wonder how they´ll do a dual kit, seeing as the older models look nothing alike.

I don't think that's a big issue. It's mostly the front/top of the torso that would need to be interchangeable.

Oh bugger off GW; I finally caved and ordered a FW Knight, Now they're hitting me when the flood gates have finally opened.

I call foul!

Should have just done the Knight codex right first time

Meh, even with these supposed additions it still would be a far cry from the Questoris Knight list.

Who knows, maybe GW can learn from FW or maybe that Questoris Household list is based loosely off of something GW was working on... I know wishful thinking.

There were 3 different wardens that all looked nothing like a Crusader. The likely answer is that GW redesigned one or both to look more like the other. The Warden could just as easily be nothing like its original concept and simply a Warden in name only.

I'm hoping the Warden-Crusader combo ends up with a weapons orientation kinda like this warden, since I think the old crusader/castellan looked really off balanced

Exactly this.

Donald Duck, the Hunch Back of Magic Kingdom.

But look at his sweet little T-Rex gun arms. Ahhh, so cute.

Like a walking battleship.

I think it the weapon orientation thats more important that those ha-ha-aesthetic choices.

I do think that form lends itself better to the new aesthetic.

Did any of these actually pan out for the Eldar release though? Certainly not all of them.

The only one that hasn't is the Avatar, but its easy to imagine GW giving that one a separate week than the rest. The rest were spot on.

I thought the Eldar one was thought to be the fW model.

Im hoping for the design of the lord in house hawkwood to appear - the old warden design on the top left seems to break physics a bit much for my liking and im not a fan of torso's on tracks eigther.



i hope eldar get horse-knights so at least i can laugh hyserically at it while it removes my models from the board.

I think he's talking about the links and GW site re-directs.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about as well.

Atia pointed out that several links they (she gets help from forum users) found are Forgeworld items like the Eldar Phantom Titan arms and other products currently sold on the FW webshop. She informed about that in time (at least a week before the WD leaks) including a warning the Avatar could be amongst those and actually not a new plastic kit. Unfortunately the plastic Avatar 'rumor train' was on full choochoo already so this was not making all blogs in time. These FW item links they found COULD be a hint both webshops will be merged sometimes in the future. They found lots of other FW products

Regarding more plastic Knights from GW - yes, please. The old shapes from 1st Edition will probably not be used although there are some fantastic designs amongst them. The Knight artwork in Codex Titanicus was great - the minis not so much

I doubt it will look much like the old models. Given GW's frugal nature these days in designing models, I expect it to use as much of the current plastic Knight as possible.

I doubt it will be all that much the same. I don't think it'd just be the old knight plus a new option sprue. Even if it is heavily based on the first knight, they'd cut whole new sprues and would likely do some manipulation to the original components. For example, even if the legs are the same, it'd be as much effort to reuse the identical legs as it would to repose the legs and give us an alternative stance. Its like the IG tanks, after they redid them, the sprues have a lot redundancy but there are actually a number of minor variations on those redundant parts.

I do hope for a completely new kit with a different pose. As much as I love the Paladin / Errant kit, the fixed pose of the legs is a sad thing.
