I'm guessing you found them over on this Warseer topic. And this is all I could find about the Knights of Taranis from Lexicanum.Hope this little bit of information helps in the discussion...

 

Cheers, Messanger

Look like Epic Knight Titans to me. Rather than 40k regular. Edited October 8, 2009 by Heru Talon

Yup; Imperial Knights, as found in the Blue Catalogue of days gone by.

 

You have there a picture of several Warden Knights, the largest and most powerful of Knight classes, usually reserved for the ehads of households, princes etc.

 

Cool stuff. :D

 

I think that the Knights of Taranis, as depicted in Mechanicus, are more like the traditional Knights, as found in the original boxed sets, such as the middle Paladin on the linked page. Think of Knights more as Battlemechs, both in size and capabilities.

Thanks guys, well i first learned of the Knights in Mechanicum, but thanks a lot for the links, im making a pre heresy army and wanted to include one just for the thrill might use him as a land raider crusader.

 

ya i noticed they where for epic :) the book says that they are about 9 meters tall, so ill do mine about 4 time the size of a marine to keep it reasonable. Ill base it off the old models but im also thinking of including some warhound features, such as the leg positioning.

There have been a couple of knight titan builds here before using defiler legs as a base.Also hight wise ,a drednought is suppose to be 5 meters tall so mabey make it twice the hight of a dred.Good luck with this.cheers
