Mendi Warrior Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Cool find, this is new info to me. So this very likely means 2 sprues per box, each sprue enabling building one of each type of knights. I then expect a maximum price of £40 for the box. Would love to see the actual sprue, hopefully they will feature in one of the previews scheduled on March 28 or April 4 https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/03/16/warhammer-events-cancelledfw-homepage-post-1gw-homepage-post-1/ Dark Bjoern 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I wonder if the sprue has one of each knight on it. That would explain how they’d get all the bits on there and could be why they need to sell them as a box of four. A box of two different knights couldn’t form a banner in a lance, but this box is two of them. I wanted two of each so that’s ok. Glad I don’t want three!

Gore Crow Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) TIAT because it's not really news: You can now toggle off the structure points and reactor scale on Battlescribe, and also includes legio wargear (not checked all yet).

Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Even though I'm not a huge fan of knights, I think I might get that one. SImply so I can have two of the coolest knights I know of in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Loss Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) The Cerastus pack being 4x knights to a box has come as a real surprise to me. Will definitely pick one up to round out my so far unplayed knights. Edited March 19, 2020 by Marshal Loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 That's weird, I'd rather have 4 lancers at a time than 4 Archerons or Castigators. I buy all of this stuff eventually so I might eventually get them but given their points I can't see using that many, makes me wonder if this will be a better value than buying two boxes of two.

Mandragola Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hmmm im more worried ill get lumbered with useless Castigators... Castigators have a use. They're for leading lances of wardens and helping the unit go on coordinated strike orders. They make for good shield-strippers to open up targets for Acastus to shoot, and are still a major threat in melee. Losing a point of strength hurts but it's not a total deal-breaker. I don't know if this will actually be a viable strategy. But I think I can see more of a case for this than for Acherons. I plan to try both out. 1ncarnadine 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Zodd Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Speaking of Fureans, I have finally settled on a Legio. In part because Fureans look cool, they seem like they'd run well with the sort of aggressive play I want, and their naming conventions borrowing from (among others) Hindu myth, opens up some interesting ideas. Say it with me now. KALI MA SHAKTI DE Hey, I wasn’t aware that was where the names for Fureans came from! Any idea where I can find an online resource that I could plunder for similar names? I’m really struggling to come up with names that fit with Iben Faruk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I'm very taken with the Arvus Lighter that's coming in resin for AI. I've got one in 40k scale and for some reason it's one of my favourite models. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/03/17/flight-plan-imperial-transports-air-caste-bombers-and-moregw-homepage-post-2fw-homepage-post-4/ Agreed! It could make great basing, or be a distinctive objective marker. I don´t know if this is a new info to you but the new Knight box for the Archeron/Castigator contains 4! Knights [snip] I think we can be reasonably sure that it'll be 1 Acheron and 1 Castigator a frame, but I'll be kind of annoyed if it's a full Acheron frame and a full Castigator frame. That's a knee-jerk fear there, folks; not entirely reasonable. Hmmm im more worried ill get lumbered with useless Castigators... Castigators have a use. They're for leading lances of wardens and helping the unit go on coordinated strike orders. They make for good shield-strippers to open up targets for Acastus to shoot, and are still a major threat in melee. Losing a point of strength hurts but it's not a total deal-breaker. I don't know if this will actually be a viable strategy. But I think I can see more of a case for this than for Acherons. I plan to try both out. Yeah, but that's all House list stuff, to be fair. Most players are running Titans and will want to try 2-3 Acherons with their maniple(s). Then they'll go back to Lancers The Castigators have no appeal for Titan reinforcement, though. I expect we'll see a reasonable amount of Castigators as basing material. Speaking of Fureans, I have finally settled on a Legio.

You're probably safe raiding online sanskrit/hindu translators and dictionaries for whatever translates awkwardly but sounds cool. Relevant mythology is a great source to start with, even if it's just a wiki page!

My problem with that is always Order reliance, without Coordinated strike the unit is nigh on useless or at least down an arm, and i could be coordinated striking battlecannons anyway :D Tbh with the Acastus nerfed through the floor i think pure knights are best served just ignoring shields and going for melee kills/cripplings most of the time but i havent put that to the test yet, sometime soon if we dont all die of plague tho :D KALI MA SHAKTI DE Hey, I wasn’t aware that was where the names for Fureans came from!

Best Legio :) They were originally all Hindi names but Titandeath added some Arabic influences too for some reason. tbh what i do is use a Hindi baby girls name list and combine names together to make "titles" for the Titan, which get bigger for the more important Titans :) So Gunjana (Buzzing Bee) is a Waround whilst Yuvarani Agnikaa (Young Queen born of Fire) is my Warlord. Hope that helps! Mendi Warrior and General Zodd 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandragola Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It might be true that knights should just charge now, I agree. If so, they should just field lancers basically. Doesn’t sound like a lot of fun though. I’ll maintain that Gatling guns on knights are an ok choice. I’ve often seen titans killed by them after a banner charges. The combination of a huge number of shots with very high accuracy for targeting can often be lethal, especially if a location is already damaged. Two issues though for the castigator. First, i think three wardens would usually be better, and they cost less. And secondly, battlecannons are pretty decent. Overall I tend to agree that Castigators don’t make much sense for a titan army. And it’s not that obvious that they’re better than wardens in a household list either. They’re also totally useless against other knights, which is where Acherons potentially do work. Noserenda and 1ncarnadine 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dice4thedicegod Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 After building a few knights, finally built my first titan in almost 30 years! Just a Warhound, but it was fun - and also my first time magnetising! Now... do the other Warhound... or jump to the warlord?
