What do you mean this head is already in the main kit

Is there something about rocket-punching in the Molech book that I've missed? Or are they future-proofing for fisticuff rules to come?

Well twin cc weapons is good build for questors anyway. Though yeah extra ranged weapons are sorely missed. As such this is pass for me. Already have 18 rocket pods so no need for these.

That's what happen when you let double fist spammer designing the sprue. Also 3 melta even though you already got one in the main kit. Truly a cunning and thoughtful individual is behind this masterpiece.

But hey it's plastic and not resin.

Now you don't need to buy 6 boxes to get one banner with melta's. And what if you want multiple banners with all meltas?

I certainly don't need 4 Meltaguns for 3 Imperial Knights, you ok with that? Instead of using the extra space for...literally anything else? Head? Shield? decoration?

In case it isn't too obvious, you only need 3 meltagun for 3 knights, 1 each, there are already 1 in the main kit.

How this upgrade sprue get the seal of approval is truly amazing, the rocket pod is also wrong, and yet no one even notice to stop this.

Sure if there were law that you can only use contents of sprue to one banner you might have a point...but since you can use them among multiple questor banners.

If you buy 2 box you get 8 meltagun and 6 knight, unless of course, you go to GW studio backroom and grab some leftover knights on the sprue, then yes the extra meltagun might be useful.

I'd still prefer an extra head or anything else over meltagun for your leftover/ebay/stolen knights

Or you buy one sprue, 2 boxes of knigthts without sprue and save bit of cash that way. Why buy sprues 1=1 ratio?

Oh yeah the secret 5 melta gun on 6 knights strat, I should've known.

Although I think GW recall the old Knight and combine them into the new one, so that's probably won't be very useful in the long run or for the majority. Right now it's already webstore exclusive.

Spoiler:

I'm old, first image is what a Paladin looks like to me (and its always weird when you find models you painted used in random websites right?)


Te second is the closest head to what I am wanting to represent, goofy but classic Epic to me.

It's the 9 melee weapons in a box of 3 knights that gets me. Especially when lance rules require duplicate weapon loadouts and you still only get 1 of each ranged weapon.

Just hoping they don't change the price of the Questoris, as that pack was a bit skimpy as it was, as is the Cerastus.

Having to buy three boxes of them just to obtain a single legal banner for a lance was a bit crap. Yet on the other hand those three boxes provided a lance and at least each banner would be armed differently.

About time. Got a shrink wrapped box that’s been awaiting these since they were first revealed.

Finger crossed it will be 40US$ just like the Marauder.

Yep, price increase from £20 to £25



The individual upgrade sprue & transfers are direct-only

Price up was pretty obvious. Only way price would stay would be if it would be replacement sprue but no sprue to remove. Q was just what price it would be

Thanks for looking into that, xttz.

After three boxes of the same unit, I might just settle for the upgrade kit and consider casting more of the rocketpods. Two more meltas would be welcome, and my two lancers are magnetized( shout out to tneva82 who advised me last year! ) so I might consider the thunderstrikes as alternative weapons for them(maybe put one of the new heads in their hand...a Titanicus Quarterback!). That leaves only a few bits unused...

Just grab 3 boxes of knights. Words of wisdom from GW.


New preview this Thursday, they definitely had to show something..

Yeah, its salt in the wound when they could have at least done us the decency of a discount set. At this point one would do better to get a box of Acastus and Cerastus, providing three banners and a more powerful Lance for £10 less.

Looking ahead to Thursday's possible announcements; Maybe something on a new Titan, more Knights, an FAQ, third expansion...anything!

Thursday is Spiel, correct?

Yup, thursday it is.

Do they have an AT or Specialist Games seminar, or a more general one for GW as a whole?

Spiel tends more towards the boardgame side of things. Last year's preview covered a new Blood Bowl team, WH Underworlds mob and a 3rd-party licensed game.

30th November is probably the most likely event for a notable reveal. If the missing Warlord Carapace weapons are out by then we can expect something *really* new.

NO NEWS!!!!! (seriously???)

Yay see you next month!

Looks like Spiel is running until Saturyday so there might still be something.

Necromunda is to get a new starter set - much like Kill Team. I wonder if Blood Bowl and AT will get new starters down the road now that we have more products in those ranges.

Nah, don't think they have anything more to show at these non-GW con.

Hire more people, give SG more machine to make kits. *face palm* and they want to make BFG too, madness.

Maybe it's a good thing that people aren't playing "keeping up with the joneses with AT." Do you really want a 40k-style escalation?

Maybe it's a good thing to show that they actually work on something for the past 6 months? The "new" Knight upgrade was done in plastic sprue, 6 months ago.(they also appear in the day 1 rulebook) And now it's get released as a fill in for that quarterly release, alongside nothing else. There are still stuff that got rule but no models.


And 40k is a 30 years old game with enormous amount of release, this game is over 1 year old, the way they work at SG is also different than GW. SG is a small group and new stuff are constantly being made, teased and release quarterly.

There is another event next week with a reveal.

More so than any other game, Titanicus is too quiet and its not only the underwhelming release schedule, but the lack of support in White Dwarf. Don't expect it to be featured every month, but six month stretches are far too long.
