Does anyone have the measurements on this thing? Found an alternative online but I don't know if the dimensions are right. Also how do the guns attach to the arms?

Buy a Knight, assemble it, learn how the arms attach ... then worry about alt weapon options.

Dreamforge makes a real nice one, just pick the smaller of the two choices, one is designed for actual titans.

edit: also they are specifically for right or left arms with the ammo feeds, so pay attention to that too

I'm in the process of potentially trading for one. Is it really a big deal that I'm asking about the measurements...?

Thanks for the info I will check that out.

From the mechanicus skull on the drum at the back of the to the circlular "plug" above the heavy flamer is almost exactly 51mm. From the back of the armour plate socket to the tip of the gun is *also* 51mm, oddly.

Shield plate is 36.3mm x 32.3 mm at its widest point.

If I may hijack the thread, how big is the chainsword?

Probably way too big for Boneripper, but asking doesn't hurt (or cost £10 plus shipping).

The whole assembly is 103.7~mm. Just the parts with the teeth are 54.8~mm from the very base to the tooth sticking out the end.

Just realised I missed the second part of the first question; the arm attaches through to 'lower arm' joints that wrap around the circular plug of the standard arm/shoulder joint. These are split in two down the middle but are not interchangeable. The picture I posted contains one that splits the rear casing down the middle and is held together by the socket covered by the mechanicus barrel. This allows it to be swapped off very easily. The shield plate also isn't required to be glued as the two rings hold the assembly together from the outside in, though magnets are recommended as it doesn't sit quite as tightly as the barrel at the back.

The knight kit was designed, I think, to be magnetised and chop/changed. So much so they even put dimples on the inner plastic where magnets would be a good idea to attach certain bits.
