GW's March 1st stuff (Knight Titan)

[the_trooper]

I should probably say I'm stealing borrowing this info from Dakka so yeah.

Chaos Knight Titan:



I gotta say, I haven't played this game in a while but these models are really beautiful and it's nice to see the conversion possibilities...

[andalucien]

OK that is just awesome.

The 11th Company's take on codex: Knights is highly recommended, just don't listen while you're driving or anything (nice LOL's).

BTW, GW already broke their own record for "fewest units in a codex".  The Knights Codex has 2 units in it, but the recently released Codex:  Legion of the Damned has only 1 unit.

That's right, codex: LoTD is just a codex that consists of one or more units of legion of the damned - same rules from the Space Marine version.  There's apparently not even a rule adjustment that lets them start on the board.  One sarge gets to be the HQ...

Codex: Inquisition is looking better and better

Yo dog, I heard you liked accurate measurements of things:

Thanks for that

A song comes to mind though. "I wish I was a little bit taller, wish I was a baller...."

[Grand Master Steve]

Oh man a chaos knight would be sooooooo much fun to paint

[the_trooper]

Yeah, I wasn't kidding about a dark mechanicus army many pages back.

I was hoping to use the Dreamforge kits though but the size will be an issue.

EDIT:

On the upside though, these actually line up with the Warhounds and Reavers perfectly. They scale well when compared to them so there is that.

Yeah, seems to be right between the 15mm kit (4.7in) and the 28mm kit (8.5in).

Chop some of the legs off the 28mm....boost up the 15mm...

So what size are those bases?  New size or MC size?

its the flyer base/ oval MC base (riptides, dreadknights, wraithknits, etc, etc)

i'll bring one of the assembled dreamforge leviathans Thursday just to see if anyone has a GW knight to stick it next to and see the difference. 6 1/2" vs 8 1/2" but i think the Leviathan is a lot... "beefier" too

So foe $41 you get the same rules as the $4 white dwarf?  Really? No other rules, just fluff?

[Sir_Prometheus]

Well, they give you a warlord chart. Cuz that's important.

[Benjamin]

DAT CHAOS KNIGHT. Gotta admit it's sweet.

[Mad Dok Rob]

Actually, it has a new base size.

Oh ho!

Thanks for that rob, I almost based my Leviathans on the old oval bases today.

[Mad Dok Rob]

I have no idea where to get the new base.  Hopefully chase can order then, but I do not see them on GWs website.

Has GW sold just bases in the past? Hopefully someone in the BG community who already has one of these can give us measurements of this new base, maybe someone already sells a resin one.
