Battybattybats Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm surprised it doesn't have interior detail, but it does look cool all painted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The last image of the Cerastus is a scale comparison with another knight. Is this new? I don't recall seeing one like this but I'm not very familiar with the knight kit. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/cerastus-knight-castigatorscale1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 It's a Mechanicum mod kit for the existing plastic Knight kit from GW. It was mentioned earlier in the thread. Gonna wait till I see painted picture to form a judgement, it looks a bit busy aesthetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The Crastus is a different chassis compared to the Questoris chassis that the Knight Errant and Paladin are based upon. All Crastus Knights (Lancer, Castigator, etc.) are going to be much taller and lankier than a standard knight and this is represented, in part, by their faster run rolls and higher attack stat. It also means that converting a standard knight over is a bit out of the question since the size is so far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lengthing the legs is pretty easy if you were already going to cut the legs for repositioning. Also, there is nothing that tells us there are no Questoris patern Lancers or Castigators.

Still Standing Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 http://www.coldsteelwarriors.com/40k_images/20140928/magos_on.jpg There has been a split in the community over this kit, but up close and personal it's a lovely model, and has almost perfect wargear for a close combat Archmagos.

Battybattybats Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 No split from me, i've been a fan since the instant the WIP pics first hit. I'm just waiting on the post to get down here to the southern hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Same here. That thing is sick! I don't see how Admech fans would be polarized by FW's models. All FW is doing is updating old Admech artwork and bringing them to life. Yes it's weird and creepy, but that's been the point since their inception.

korban Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Two more models are out: @ http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/Warhammer_Fest_Tickets.html http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-71BhNQwkSwY/VDVeBeWjS6I/AAAAAAAAi5I/7ziWjJOhRsk/s1600/unnamed-23.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cygd1mE0hXk/VDVeA22qSmI/AAAAAAAAi5E/rPPmZXEL4LQ/s1600/unnamed-22.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The Vorax look very cool indeed but for me it's the Styrix that i'm setting money aside for first. Meanwhile i'm starting on my ArchMagos. Has anyone done a build-review or finished theirs yet? All I'm finding from google are forgeworld's pics so Llothlian's is the only other pic i've seen so far.

Still Standing Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 A number of people have posted pictures to the Facebook group called Mechanicum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Dayum! I need the Styrix! I wonder if it will be available in 40k. It would make it the only volkite weapon in 40k. I need the rules now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 A Graviton Gun AND A Volkite (Carronade)!? Yeah, thats going to be pretty painful for units that can't ignore Dangerous and Difficult Terrain :p Though, just those two guns along make me think it wont be 40k-able.

BassWave Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Graviton guns of 30k were a 40k FW exclusive weapon in the years between the 5th and 6th edition codex, and I believe the options are still available to some FW units today. So the graviton gun itself won't be what keeps the Styrix out of 40k. The volkite weapon makes me worry though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hell, if they get Volkites into 40k, that will ease the transition/acceptance of 30k in the scene in general. Because the one thing I've read about the most was people going "Volkites do WHAT!?!" when going up against lists that use them. Good to know that Graviton Guns wont be too hard to get in. Helps that 40k has Grav Guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 If anyone still has some Volkites it'd male sense for it to be the Mechanicum and the Knight Worlds both of which have a tight hold of ancient tech they don't share with others.Besides the Mageara is mentioned as existing in 40k in extremely rare irreplaceable numbers sure but still there so it'd make sense that the Styrix may be the same.

poom Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just saw this on Facebook: Castellax with Darkfire Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I told myself "I'll focus on Knights, i won't get many Automata so i won't need to worry about the Darkfire Cannon"Then i saw that pic. I'll still focus on Knights but i will get that Darkfire Castellax.In other news i just put magnets in my ArchMagos to swap the guns that come with it and one in the skull head just so i can mess with the pose :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMasterAralia Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Oh yeah! Paragon og Metal woohoo! :D I think the beef with Volkites is the deflagrate rule. Which means you an additional to wound roll on a target for each succeffully caused wound (before saves)... Cant remember exactly.. But the volkite culverin is kinda like a long range assault cannon with weaker AP, and no rend. But it can potentially wound eight times... Pretty crazy anti horde weapon...

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Volkite sounds pretty sweet then, especially with the new Leman Russ Incinerator that was teased with one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Volkites Deflagrate rule does an additional hit for each unsaved wound on a unit. Further unsaved wounds do not generate additional hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 They are for the Most part S4-6 and AP 3-5. Their power comes from Deflagrate as others have mentioned and their range(?). Culverins being 48" heavy 4 and then consider that you can have a squad of 10 heavy support marines all with Culverins....yeah... 40 Deflagrate shots will vaporize ANY horde in short order.

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Interesting. I understand the Carrionade draws a 1" wide line instead, though? Won't that be a pain to judge the direction on the Knight compared to, say, the Glaive or Incinerator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
