The rumored Questoris Loyalist model with shield generator and new weapons could be GW's plastic take on the Styrix/Magaera, with a larger carapace shield generator replacing the tilting plate mounted one. Would let them double dip into HH with the kit.

Custodes, gather round...

...and tomorrow Imperial and Chaos Knights are apparently inviting their mates. Hmmmmm....

I’m betting on Armiger/Wardog centered detachments. The Big Knights little friends.

Or something that lets Knights bring in 25-50% allies like Brood Brothers?

Something to fill in the gap between adding a single knight/trio of freeblades to another force and having just solo Knights.

Maybe bring back the Loyal 32?

Those are Knights too, though. And not really friends but subordinates or younger siblings.

Maybe it's some Adeptus Mechanicus and/or Guard units for IK and Cultists and/or Traitor Guard for CK.

I'd love this top to bottom.

I'm hoping it's a loyal 32 in Admech form.... tomorrow is not long to wait!

The absolute state of the faction(s)

I've heard that the detachments will be IK & AdMech support, and CK & CSM support.

Edit: also the balance update is this week

So thats how they "fix" Ad Mech. Feels like its 7th edition again when "include knights" was the answer to make any faction viable.
(I would love both of those lists by the way, I have lots of mechanicum themed knights and a decent force of AdMech guys I dont play with).

It can also fix Knights thematically, so you don't see a bunch of 40k cops (arbites) running around with Knights... the idea of a squad of cops running with Knights seems dumb to me.

Well, I guess that Made To Order selection is better than an incomplete version of the 3rd ed. starter set...

Do we know how well those terminators scale compared to the latest kit?

Knights will probably end up with Dunlendings as their militia.

Poorly.

Hrm. Oh well. Thanks.

Nice looking marines, but I’m skipping a lot of steps in the evolution in terminators and going for RT/2nd lead to modern sculpts. Of they won’t fit in at either end, that’s a pass from me.

That's not a bad idea for Questor Imperialis.

Here we go

So actually not too bad at all.

Remember, the new Leviathan Terminators upper the scale AGAIN and are not pictured.

Leviathan Terminators are about half a head taller again than the Chaos Terminators.

The ones labeled "New Indomitus Pattern" are the Leviathan Terminators.

Here's a direct comparison from Minicompare. The scale is just relative units, not mm or anything.
A little small but probably not that noticeable close up once painted due to the fancy bases - bearing in mind that this setup is probably going to be the worst size comparison you could do for them.

Add a 40mm washer or something under their base to boost them up another mm or so and they'd likely blend right in.

Is there any truth to this, or is it still a nebulous rumor from the deep dark reaches of the dreams of a sleeping Eldar God?

The part about it maybe being a reimagined version of the Styrix/Magaera is speculation but the actual rumour about a Loyalist Questoris with shield generator is from Valrak so pretty trustworthy. But it could still be wrong of course, for example previously his rumours was new Armigers for the Knight codex which he now found out is fake. I'm guessing this Questoris versions rumour comes from his reputable sources which contradicted the armiger rumour he got earlier from other sources and as such proved it as fake.

I've been trying to find the Kyrin Solaq model for a while, but there's no way I'm buying an overpriced bundle just for one model (although I'd be fine if it was just the chaplain and librarian included)

Curse you James Workshop

To be fair the command squad box (while dated at this point) is a really great kit full of neat bits.

Knight detachments are up.

Imperials get to bring Tech priests, manipulus and marshall alongside vanguard and rangers (same ally rules as chaos daemons far as percentages of points). The knights all heal 1 wound a turn and have strats to pass on bondsman abilities to the Skitarii.

Chaos get to bring Damned units in the same manner, and the Knights can sacrifice them to get the Dark Pacts abilities (sustained/lethal hits)
