Marshal Reinhard Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Didn't a rumor say one of the kits would be "Knight Preceptor/Special Character" ? If that's so, maybe that'll be a kit based on normal Paladin sprue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derLumpi Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Didn't a rumor say one of the kits would be "Knight Preceptor/Special Character" ? If that's so, maybe that'll be a kit based on normal Paladin sprue? Could the character be an upgrade kit for the existing knight kits? I mean would they really release a completely seperate kit just for the character? I can easily see some kind of an upgrade sprue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warden sprue is added to the 3 original sprues of the Paladin kit. So yes there is prescedent, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Could literally be that it's a second Knight to the left, an Atropos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Maybe the new kit will just be an extra sprue on top of the Errant/Paladin kit, ala Warden/Gallant/Crusader, and GW will drop the original set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Could literally be that it's a second Knight to the left, an Atropos.... Could be, but that would mean someone has placed a lascutter on their Atrapos' left arm, which would be sordid to the point of perversity! :) It may not be a Lascutter at all. They're not identical, but it's so very close a resemblance you have to wonder - especially as some artistic license in the image is a possibility.

It would make some sense. Really the original kit has been redundant for a while. I can't imagine if you're shelling out for a Knight anyway, not just paying the extra £10 for all the options. Might as well. It causes a fair bit of confusion for people buying Knights for the first time also. It's not obvious what the difference is to the uninitiated.

I recall hearing this rumor before. (Also it just me or is the same discussions spilling into multiple threads? Probably partly at fault given how much I reply to them all... as if you couldn't already tell I'm just starving for them to release these already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make some sense for the designer to have riffed off of an existing Knight 'laser' weapon. Would explain the similarities. I guess we'll see :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aothaine Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 They will most likely give us a big teaser on Friday with Pre-orders starting 06/02/2018. I could be wrong... but have not had enough info released about them for them to start up the pre-order right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battybattybats Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but a thought occurred to me. If they do an upgrade sprue to make the character.... Imagine if it had a second leg pose for the current knight kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 So I thought, why wait when I can do a Mechanicus version now? Another arm for the magnetised pile, that will also do a job as Ravager if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneakybamsen Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nice, though it does look a tad oversized ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nice, though it does look a tad oversized Phrasing ;) The Knight'll bulk out a lot more once the armour panels are on. I think that'll balance it a lot. It's going to look pretty great I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
