If you were to buy a FW Knight – which one would it be?

[Hannibal]

Hi all,

 

I´m in the process of painting some Knights as Allies for my Daemons of the Ruinstorm and while the GW kits are really good looking I think it´ll be rather boring to field numerous GW Knights. Therefore I´m thinking about getting a FW Knight, but which one?

 

Which FW would you prefer and why?

 

Thanks in advance

The Acheron, for the pure looks of it, and the Scion Uhlan & Hellstorm template combo.

My Porphyrion is my angry crimson baby. Its debut shooting phase took out a max unit of Gal Vorbak with Lorgar, a Chaplain and a Primus Medicae in it. It was beautiful.

If you already have several GW knights, pick a cerastus pattern as to keep the aesthetics together. If it's a single fW knight you want, go for the Maegera, Styrix, or Atropos. That beetle carapace really makes them look more archaic.

I like the look of the atropos. Archeron looks grest as well. Porphyron is badass, but incredobly procey in game and real World terms

i have a sweet spot for the atrapos, castigator is cool too, just imagine him pulling out that big sword out of a superheavy before letting go into the breach with that gun <3

I like the Megara (?) chassis, it has the crusha claw and a volkite weapon, what more could I want ?

[Deadass]

It'd be the Acheron for me. Chainweapons are one of the coolest features of 30k/40k imo, so the only knight wielding a chainfist is the obvious choice. And that giant flame cannon doesn't look bad either.

Depends on what you need it to do, if you need a superheavy-hunter the Atrapos have you covered, if you need to fry loads of infantry or even battleautomata then the Acheron is your go to.

 

If you want a solid allrounder then take the Castigator, and if you crave the Glorious Charge and killing tanks, dreads and monsters turn 1 then the Lancer is your knight.

 

That said, for pure looks the Atrapos wins on pure menace.
