Dreamforge Leviathan Crusader vs GW Knight Titan

[RastlinD]

So I am looking to put together a lance of three Knights for a possible army list/big game crazyness. I currently have two GW knights and was wondering does getting a Dreamforge Knight make sense. I know it is slightly taller then the Games Workshop model but I wanted to get some opinions on what you guys thought?

 

Would having that as my lead knight be a good look? Note I am really not to worried about cost savings that the Dreamforge model offers just trying to decide what would give me the most options in the long run.

 

Thanks guys.

I have the big leviathan as a GK warhound, its awesome. the little one would make a perfect knight titan

do be careful you know what size your getting. they make two sizes

[RastlinD]

Wait so you are advising the the smaller Leviathan for use as a knight instead of the larger one?

 

From the size videos it appears that this one is smaller then the normal Knight while the larger one is bigger. Please let me know if I am mistaken.

Here's a review of the 15mm Leviathan. It's in German but at the bottom there are some scale shots next to a Dreadknight and the video embedded has a comparison between the Knight and the Leviathan.

Has anyone tried swapping parts form the leviathan into the knight kit? I'm specifically referring to giving a knight hands, from the leviathan kit, or doing a head/ neck aromor swap?

 

Specifically putting these:

onto the knight titan kit, and mounting the gun o his back or somehting... I'd like to model a halberd for him to hols, but would like hands to hold it with...

 

*Edit* Oh wow... just found this:

From the looks of things the 28mm leviathan is almost twice as tall as a knight titan.

 

I wonder if you had a knight and a leviathan, could you mix them up to make 2 unique titans? legs of the knight on the torso of the leviathan, and vice versa, and give them both the hands from the leviathan. I feel like they'd end up about the same height, slightly smaller than the dreamforge model, slightly taller thant he gw model... could be neat!

The Leviathan would probably work as one of Forgeworld's Cerastus class Knights, those are much bigger than the GW Knights.

28mm Levi is too big, he is closer in scale to a warhound. Even the Cerastus will look small next to it, not to mention spindly.

 

15mm Levi is too small, he is as tall as a dreadknight and looks skinny next to the GW knigget.

 

I will probably buy the 28mm chap someday to stand in for a real Titan, but these lads don't mesh with the kniggets too well.
