Stray Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I don't know much about forgeworld knights. Does the lascutter have a melee profile? If it does that would make it interesting, a super flexible Omni tool. Anti horde, anti tank, melee. Then pairing it with another ranged weapon could be quite interesting. Yes S14 AP-4 D6 reroll hits and wound against Monsters, AVs and Buildings. Throw it at something big and it dies I guess... Damage is a flat 6 rather than D6 both in shooting and melee. It hurts quite a bit to be on the receiving end. You get quite a nice booklet with the kit from FW with a little bit of lore: 'One of the rarest and most potent Knights and one created soley under the direct auspices of the highest Lord Magos of the Mechanicum, the Atrapos is a unique variant type of the Cerastus pattern Knight. The Atrapos was created, it is said, during the early days of the Great Crusade to carry particularly rare and potent weaponry of annihilation, and with a single goal in mind; the destruction of heretek engines and xenos warmachines whose very nature and existence were considered a blasphemy to the Omnissiah. The machine spirits of the Knight-Atrapos are said to carry with them a cold and all-destroying hunger, and for the scio who bonds with them, madness is said to be a constant risk. But for such a storied honour, however dark the outcome may be, for most this is deemed a price worth paying.' Makes an awful lot of sense why the weapon loadout is like it is.

Mushkilla Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Man I hope we get a graviton gun like weapon for the other arm and canis rex is a dual kit. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Man I hope we get a graviton gun like weapon for the other arm and canis rex is a dual kit. Can't wait! If I'm remembering the leaks right, Canis Rex does seem to be a dual kit. I think it was said to build either the named character, or a Preceptor? So it seems likely you're getting at least half your wish buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe a preceptor? That'd be perfect. Although I sure hope it's Helverin and not Hellverin. The latter sounds a bit tacky to me, whereas Helverin has a nice little mythical ring to it.

PiñaColada Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 They just dropped a faction focus, is that completely irrelevant? Or is it a bad sign? EDIT: An AoS faction focus, added for clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derLumpi Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The big knight seem to have another weapon on his top. Doesn't look like missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Actually, instead of the autocannon turrets, he's got missile hardpoints... Not sure what there is in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H311fi5h Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It looks like the big knights have 3 secondary turret hard points on top. Maybe you can chose between the missiles, twin cannons and possibly something else for each hard point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushkilla Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Looks like an auto gun turret in the center (same as the ones on the shoulders of the castellan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. The Harpoon is certainly an interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karhedron Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Hoping I'll be able to convert the new options as I have 2 Forgebane Armigers ready to be built... Autocannon-like weapons for the Armigers are available on shapeways (along with some pretty funky Warhound-style heads). https://www.shapeways.com/shops/gadgetsplus?section=Armiger+compatible&s=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
