ROBOcaster Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Its gonna look nice with my Iron Hands army, it standing behind my legion a towering mechanical monster. Truly this is the personification of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Kilofix Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I was just thinking it would be quite easy to get the Styrix, magnetize the Volkite, get a spare Battle Cannon (Guard, or IK kit, etc.) and voila - you have a Magaera too if you wanted.

You don't need a spare. It's based on the plastic Knight, so it comes with a battle cannon.

Chronozoah Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Regarding representation of a Mechanicum Knight, I prefer the Magaera because of the head and Lightning Cannon, but otherwise this is also a solid addition. The temptation to succumb and purchase a Knight of my own is fairly strong, but I have other priorities at present (such as acquiring other Mechanicum constructs).

GrandMasterAralia Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Agree with Chronozoah, the look of the magaera is better, but the lightningcannon is probably not as devastating as the volkite *something* on the styrix.. Would it maybe be possible to convert a volkite *something* and then just magnetize the magaera so you could switch between that and the styrix?

Dark Bjoern Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 You will get the complete plastic kit with the Magaera/Styrix. So i think you will have enought parts for magnetizing them.

jeffersonian000 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Oooookay. Let me restate: What are the stats for Volkite weapons? SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298963-so-it-wasnt-a-volkite-carronade/#findComment-3856977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Volkite Weapons are as follows: Serpenta: 10" S5 Ap5 Pistol, Deflagrate Charger: 15" S5 Ap5 Assault2, Deflagrate Caliver: 30" S6 Ap5 Heavy2, Deflagrate Culverin: 45" S6 Ap5 Heavy4 Deflagrate Carronade: 48" S8 Ap2 Primary Weapon1, Haywire, Ignores Cover, Heavy Beam, Deflagrate Now you understand why I would've wanted a Carronade on the Knight? :p Mods don't hate me :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298963-so-it-wasnt-a-volkite-carronade/#findComment-3857144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 So it's only the cannonade that has beam so far huh? Well i don't mind if it's not quite the cannonade but i'm hoping for the beam.There's just something so Martian Death Ray about the beam rule. I guess it may not make so much sense as the arm holding the beam is much higher off the ground so logically wouldn't strike to many things in a line because of the angle of fire.Still, what else would be so Martian Death Ray as hitting several units in a neat line?

jeffersonian000 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What does the angle or height of the weapon have to do with the Beam hitting targets? Beams hit every model under the line drawn from the weapon the end point of the Beam. As the the Volkite, I can see the Knight version being S7 AP3, Beam, etc, which isn't too bad. Isn't too good, either. Just guessing.

Slips Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 It more from a minds eye perspective of the beam shooting out of the weapon itself than a rules quandary.

Battybattybats Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Slipstreams right, i was saying it not as a rule problem but as a suspension of disbelief rationalisation of the game rules issue.

Kilofix Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Also, the thing about the Carronade on the Glaive is that it does 1+D3 hits to Super Heavies, Gargantuan Creatures and Forts.

KBA Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That's too bad -- though not too surprising -- about the lack of carronade.I had my eye on this one for a while, but in the end, the Knight Acheron won my heart. Love the aesthetics and rules of that model.

Battybattybats Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I want it. I want to model a GIANT RED ROBE on it In many ways it kinda has one. The armour plates, especially the metal hood piece over the head, from the front at least, resemble a stylised robe.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Volkite cannonade: 5 shot krak missile with Deflagrate ..........eh? I knew we weren't getting the laser beam 'o death, but its turned out be ploddingly medicore. It's better than the lightning cannon on the Magera at least...

BassWave Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ohh man :( It's great against MCs but then again the lancer is even better against MCs. I'd be super excited if it caused haywire as well. Oh well, I'll still pick up the model.

BassWave Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yeah, FW seemed to have given all their love and attention to the Cerastus pattern knights. Its a shame too, cuz I love the design of both mechanicum knights. I'll just have to equip them as normal paladins/errants then.
