Knight banners!

[Reyner]

Awesome, I really want to see the new colour schemes for Legios Crucius, Fortidus, Vulcanum and Interfector! New maniples will be good too as long as one of them isn't the one we already got from White Dwarf

[Marshal Rohr]

This is amazing. I can't wait to build up a full Household. 

[Robbienw]

Hopefully accompanied by more knight models

[Captain_Krash]

Forgeworld world still trucking. Great stuff.

Fingers crossed! Might just hold off my Vigilus order a week or two for this if we get a hint of its release date.

 

Let's see, so to get the knight range rounded out and make this a significant knight-themed expansion we'd want

• the questoris upgrade missile launchers - seems plausible (in resin?), something like them has appeared on the studio models so I'd be pretty surprised if these weren't dropped one friday in the next while
• some other questoris upgrade kit - thunderfist, lascutter, maybe a House Devine whip/scourge thing
• the other cerastus patterns - another plastic kit to parallel the lancers doesn't seem impossible
• the Acastus Porphyrion - wasn't there some even last year where they said this wasn't underway? A two-knight plastic kit could make sense as these are nearly as big as a warhound
• Armigers - seems unlikely, SG hasn't ruled them out but they'd be pretty small and they seem unwilling to go below questoris level, even in how weapons are differentiated
• Dominus pattern knights - can't recall if there was mention of these
• mechanicus knight kits - I think these were ruled out as largely aesthetic, at least for the chassis

Realistically I could see a missile launchers kit, more cerastus variants and maybe the Porphyrion appearing. I get the impression that SG and FW aren't really that interested in the GW armigers and dominus knights compared to "their own" FW designs.

I’m sure we will get Dominus Knights eventually, they probably just weren’t ready for their release when they first came out

[Robbienw]

I’m hoping at the very least for resin addon packs with missile pods and fists for regular knight, and the other weapon outfits for the cerastus knights!

Now we just need the web store to finally restock knight command terminals!

Yeah if they have the CAD design from GW proper it should be perfectly doable and it does look like FW will have some 40k-scale armiger upgrade kits in the future. I don't think it's a turf thing, just that FW/SG seem to have been in the dark about GW's knight plans until release or shortly before, meaning they wouldn't have had the extended lead-in that the rest of the range appears to have enjoyed.

 

To be honest I'm not really a fan of the Dominus. They sit rather awkwardly in the design progression of armiger -> questoris -> cerastus -> acastus, coming off as an ungainly up-gunned questoris. Slotting into a knight force as a character could be interesting ruleswise - I guess the seneschal mentioned in the article - but I wouldn't be a in a rush to get one.

 

I'd buy an Acastus Porphyrion in a second though, resin or plastic. Armigers, even if they were two/three to a base, would also be adorable.

[Brother Dimetrius]

Sweet.

 

Haven't gotten on the Titanicus train yet (painting backlog way to large...), but I have bought the rules & Titandeath as I'm a sucker for HH. Very big fan of the contents & production values. Price reasonable as well.

 

Will probably pick this up when it comes out.

[Burni]

A must buy for me. Great stuff.

[Marshal Loss]

Very excited. Hopefully they preview the new Titan Legio schemes soon, as that's what I"m looking forward to the most.

Same, as I am struggling with a scheme. I would like to do Invictus based on fluff and as a fan of RG, but there is nothing on their scheme about and looks like there wont be for a while.

[Battybattybats]

It might be aesthetic, but so are the multiple optional titan heads, shoulder plates, leg plates and car spaces. So I still want Mechanicus style knight heads. House Cydonia just won’t look right without them. A lot of people use those heads in 30k/40k so I’m sure I’m not the only one who needs them to properly have their Knight house brought over to this scale.

I don’t mind if we don’t see the Forgeworld design Mechanicus shoulders and carapaces etc till they bring out the Styria, Mageara & Atrapos which I’d assume will be resin.

They have, they just never restock with enough of them to last more than a couple days. (im rather glad i managed to get some ordered on last Saturday)

Last Saturday?! I swear I had the notification option clicked.

 

Maybe when they release the rest of the Cerastus options they will release a ton of the terminals.

[DuskRaider]

As have I. In fact, I keep going on the site to check and each time it's not there I hit the notification button. I've got all these Cerastus and I have no way to field them.
