House Malinax is getting an expansion I see 

[Vassakov]

The first of a number of plasticised Knights hopefully...!

There goes another kidney ...

This will probably be the next wave after we got all those tank chassis variations now, all the different cerastus variants

Cheaper or more expensive than 10th ed. box? 

[Fire Golem]

Awesome news. Always loved the Cerastus chassis. 

[Brother_Angelus]

Sold. Hopefully the other Cerastus variants will follow. 

[Noserenda]

VEry nice, ive wanted a lancer for a while, weird how hes come out under 30k where Knights kinda suck though.

[sitnam]

Hopefully if the Cerastus get plastic kits they will be added into the main 40k codexes. An Atrapos would be ace

I imagine it's easier for them to use a knight to help bulk out the HH schedule instead of trying to fit it into a tight 10th ed release plan for 40k - I'd bet by the time the 10th ed Knight codex drops he's in the book (he'll probably get a 'full GW' index slot as opposed to the other FW chassis getting a FW indew too.

[BitsHammer]

In the reveal they mentioned it would be available for 40k as well. Fingers crossed for Knight players that it ends up in their codex.

Looks great. 
 

I’m surprised though that they have chosen to prioritize that kit. Great for Knight players though.

I’ve had a resin Cerastus Knight kit sitting on my desk for years now, getting delayed buyers remorse!

 

It’s an awesome kit. I hope the Porphyrion gets the plastic treatment too, I won’t be able to resist that!

Your keys to the Gods ears!

 

Love it.

[CL_Mission]

I'm a bigger fan of the Porphyrion but these knights look great and them coming to plastic makes me a lot more likely to get one. I almost certainly will in fact, maybe not this side of autumn or even this year but at some point.

[Urauloth]

Love the interior detailing. I'm not big on the Cerastus pattern, but they've done a great job with this.

IIRC- it's been years- this was the first Cerastus kit. Mold age may have been the driver

[WrathOfTheLion]

The other Cerastus knights are likely not far behind. Once one is plastic, whatever sales of the resin ones will decrease, and they will want the resin chassis gone.

[Noserenda]

Im sure the other two may come, though Knights arent quite as simple as a weapon option sprue, the weapons in question are big and that means a lot of plastic, even before things like alternative heads and little details. I could see a way to reuse some parts on the other two basic variants to squeeze them onto one sprue but the atrapos wouldnt fit and has more greeblies.

I wouldnt be surprised if its run out like the Questoris, just the lancer for a while, then an alt kit with Acheron and Castigator instead and finally a combined kit a few years after that, maybe with the Atrapos.

[Fire Golem]

I hope the legs are more posable than the normal Knight. 

[spessmarine]

Biggest plastic kit yet maybe?

Even without counting fortifications, I think the stompa and tesseract vault are still bigger. 

 

Hopefully there will be a substantial price drop from the resin version.

[Magos Takatus]

I am super proud of my Castigator and was considering a second Cerastus if they went plastic. The Lancer was easy but most of the other Cerastus patterns have ammunition feeds leading from their guns to an ammo storage on their backs. That will either limit the posability or will require a redesign of some sort. Introducing more segmented ammo feeds might be a solution?

 

If I get a plastic Lancer (or Acheron maybe?) I can pose it to look like it's advancing compared to my more static Castigator.

What was that nugget of wisdom ... "The first step on the road to disappointment is Hope!"..   This is GW we're talking about...
