So who had Plastic Cerastus Knight before plastic Assault Marines?

Smells like someone decided to axe 3-4 plastic Heresy units from being made so they could cram a big 40k-centric seller into HH production slots.

I like the approach with the Calvaliers, as they have elements I’d associate with Empire Knights (baroque armour) and Bretonnian Knights (individual rather than Order heraldry).

I look forward to see the full kit, as I want to get a sense of what options there are.

Plastic Cerastus instead of another tank?

Fair play those new Empire Knights are extremely good. Very impressive, will be fun to convert up for Warhammer Old World for Marienburg knights.

They styled each one a bit like the various religious, non-Sigmar-affiliated knights from the Old world; there's a knight of Taal (Stag), one of Morr (Skull), one of Ulric (Wolf) and one that could be either a Panther knight or a Knight of Verena.

That's a good catch. I'm glad they did that, and didn't go with the weird lore they teased for Cities, like the people that worship wheels for some reason?

It's a nice mix of visuals for the new Cities of Sigmar faction, like the framed heraldic devices on the shields, and old bits and pieces that sort of work like an easter egg for those in the know, mostly on the personal heraldry and in the choice of weapons. Gives a nod to the grognards without sticking out too much, i quite like it.

I’d take a plastic Cerastus. For where there is one chassis, we can expect additional weapons.

Even if those additional weapons remain as Resin options, just the body being plastic, and so far easier to assemble, is enough for me.

Sums it up I think.

They put Cerastus in 40k Knights codex and sell 3 to HH players and half a million to 40k players, job's a good 'un, we've funneled 6 sprues worth of 40k tooling into HH budget

Sorry, bit out of the loop at the moment. How long until the Heresy reveals?

Maybe they're Epic scale

They already exist for Adeptus Titanicus.

At the moment I'm replying you, less like 22~ minutes.

I know that, i'm just teasing

I hope they show at least a roadmap, preferably with Assault Marines marked on it, two characters with one being known already and knights is a bit thin otherwise. That being said, with how dissappointing anything but 40k has been so far i'd not be surprised if this is all we get. TOW better blows it out of the water, but i don't think so.

what use is a gw roadmap?
The last one for HH was utterly pointless.
A lack of dates doesn't make it better.

For HH probably less so than for other games, but at least it's a statement of intent to support the game over the duration covered.

Knight has legs so does it technically count for the "we hear you, more infantry is coming"

Here’s the stream link again, as ever just in case.

Nice models. Looks like they grew to AoS size tho.

Ahaha they're resin. DOA.

Mix of returning kits, new plastic and new resin kits for each faction.

Yep. Autopass.

Thousand Sons rejoice, you now have more bits to pilfer from.

I love both, though I'm not sure if I like the mummy's head.

Resin...
