Eh well this is depressing.

I hardly got to use my old codex imperial knight..

Welp WD:C:IK here i come!

Hm. I wonder if when I buy my knight if I could cut the legs and add hidden joints for better posing and then cast up a prettier version in resin. Going for a charging shoulderbash pose Which is hard with the plastic knights.

Also, on topic. Looking forward to a Warden Knight.

One assumes the existing knight box will also still be available?

Hard to say, as it seems to be pretty much the same kit with an extra sprue. Considering they combined Baneblade / Shadowsword into one box, my guess would be that there's going to be only one Knight box as well - probably with a price increase, as GW isn't shy to ask more cash for 'extra content'.

I hope we get a new head or two as well, I like the three current options but the more variety the better.

... I know the design is different, and you may like it or not, but there is the option of using the Dreamforge Crusader or Mortis. With the E-Z-Swap arms, you don't need to commit to a bunch in order to cover all your needs too.

Problem with Dreamforge is that their either to small by a large margin (the mini's) or to large by a significant margin (standard leviathan and mortis). To have the same approximate height you're talking about dropping the leviathan/mortis to one knee as I've seen done. The large ones are more in line with a Warhound in size, not a knight.

That said they are cool models. Not a huge fan of the individual weapon cost and building them takes forever but they are amazing kits.

well the new knights do have that carapace mount which will raise their height 2-3 inches from the look of it, so they'll be a better match for the standard Dreamforge Leviathans

I'm just gung ho on the rotary cannon....god I love gattling guns lol and on a huge walker? to go along with my skitarii? or my space wolves? sigh...take my money

Shame they're not going to reproduced the Knight transfer sheet :(

Yeah, I could use another couple of those.

For all we know, it's packaged in this new box.

I suppose we should be grateful to the eldar players for taking the flak of introducing the whole 'ranged d' nonsense.

Can you imagine the hate towards knight lists if these had hit before the eldar 'dex?

How tall is a knight again? A full-sized leviathan is about 8 inches. And for what it's worth, do a few inches matter that much? Genuine question, not an attack.

My warhound titan is almost 12 inches tall.

Here ya go:

Just as an aside if you model the leviathan kneeling he's the same size as an IKnight.

Is anyone REALLY surprised that they re getting a new codex so soon? I mean.... 2 unit entries.....

I'm actually pretty happy about this..... except now this means facing even more super heavies/gargants.

My poor orks and csm!

Orks and CSM both have access to their own super heavy in plastic (they, along with IG, started this trend ). The stompa is pretty good, but the Lord of Skulls is rather overpriced, especially when you consider the cost of the upgraded weapons.

Same, how the feth do you browse that place anyway?

The pics on TG aren't anything new, unless he's talking another thread.

I braved the toxic waters of 4chan and didn't find anything. A link would be great if there are actually new pics somewhere.

Edit: NVM, realized I am late to the party on the silhouettes.

Anyway, regarding an above comment, at least you can pose the Dreamforge model in a kneeling position (or running, or walking, or even dropkicking), unlock the IK model that just...stands there.

those are just screen caps of the GW teaser.....and please don't mention BoLS

Just saw that trailer!

YES! (I think it is a good time to buy my first knight titan, don't you?)

I doubt it will happen, but I really hope they will include the existing Forge World Imperial Knights in the codex. It would be great to have them all in one book, as well as add some additional content to the codex.

Yea they won't put rules for FW models in a standard codex an apoc supplement yes but FW will stay in FW books.

With FW products moving to the main GW site you never know...

Any word on the contents of the codex? Will it contain all 8 knight varriants (5 GW and 3 FW ones) Formations (Adlance) and special characters?

Techically the FW ones are 40k approved and are choices for 40k armies

I can't imagine why they wouldn't put in formations in there (what else are they going to do to fill up space...), and there are some rumors about a named HQ. I don't know about the FW ones, but they'd certainly be welcome -- the same way FW models are in the Escalation book.

I WANT WD LEAKS !!!

Escalation/Apoc was designed to allow for FW stuff to be used in normal games. If it's not plastic, it won't be in the Knight codex.

I expect 5 knight hulls- Paladin with battle cannon, Errant with Melta cannon, Warden with Quake cannon/gattling gun (It may be a decorated barrel tip rather than a bunch of barrels), Crusader with 2 ranged weapons, and new one with 2 CCW. Then all will have the option for a missile launcher or other thing on top as wargear upgrades.

Add say 2-5 freeblades, 2-3 formations, maybe option to pay points to promote one to a seneschal. Possibly rules based on if the knight is Imperial, Mechanicus, or Freeblade. Maybe even "titles" you can buy for the knight to upgrade it (which could be the cards in the datacard pack)

I do not expect the FW knights.

Wernt the FW knights added to the digital edition of the Knight Codex a while back though?

So will this be a separate kit or just repackage with the old sprues?

Think the rumor is that the new kit, can make all 5 of the variants, so probably the old sprues with new ones for the new bits for the new knights.

I wonder what the price rise will be?
