Solution Interrogator Stobz Posted November 18, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Definitely worth fawning over these here. Let there be many more before next year's Supplement.

Helias_Tancred Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 They look great! I'd like to know if it's one box that can do both Deathwing Knights and regular Deathwing terminators as the previous box did? Also what about the Deathwing Command Squad? Will it continue to exist as its own sprue bits going into this new DA revamp? I'm also happy they went back to Asmodai carrying both his crozius and his sword!

mecanojavi99 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Also confirmation that the DA and the other Divergent Chapters are getting supplements like in 8/9th instead of full codexes.

Yes, that had been unclear before but I think it is a sensible way to go. Azoriel, WrathOfTheLion and Interrogator Stobz 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isual Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The new models are nice, but I like the old maces better. Let's see if Asmodai gets good rules for his blades of reason for a change .

shabbadoo Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 "NYAAAH!!! Quit dancing about, you fool! I need to put you to the question using...The BLADES OF REASON!!!" - Asmodai (as voiced by Frank Todaro [i.e. Cobra Commander]) The Blades of Reason don't need rules. At all.

WrathOfTheLion Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Definitely sweet models. Asmodai I like a lot without the smoke, so he'll be a nice replacement for my current one. The Deathwing Knights are just great though. I really like the more subdued detail. There's some open room on the models that I should be able to put some 30k decals on. Got some more ideas to use the Deathwing Knights as 30k characters in Indomitus plate as well, or maybe the basis for some Deathwing Companions. There's a lot of possibilities with them. Speaking of decals, we should get an updated transfer sheet, as the current 8E one is missing quite a lot that's come out since then.. Interested to see how that will look.

Chaplain Raeven Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Oompf. My initial reaction to the Knights was one of disappointment. But the more I look at it, the more I like the sculpts. It's the paintjob that isn't doing it any favours. A steal trim would work alot better with all that bone armour instead of the gold they used. The detail blends a bit to much with each other. Preferred the previous stormshields as well, but that's a small issue. Asmodai though... Haven't enjoyed the character or any of the previous models, but this one I particulary don't like. It looks like the plastic version of a RT-model, too comical in most of its aspects, especially the smoke. The purityseals on cloth look ridiculous as well. Happy to see none of the releases spark that much excitement, it means my backlog won't grow too fast. Those sexy Nightlords though...

Chaplain Killmer Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 That Asmodai model is making my eyes tear with nostalgia. I am happy he finally gets an miniature that does not totally gets destroyed by Black Templar representations. clumsy_explorer and Interrogator Stobz 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Mine will be Black with weathering; Redeemed to go with the Lion. I like these fellas, not awestruck but definitely satisfied. The overall sculpt is nice let down a tad by uninteresting poses, and the old shields are better. Asmodai is great, gotta lose the smoke though and his knee pads are distracting from whatever his legs are actually doing. Love that he's got the sword back. Won't get him due to having the 2nd Ed mini still in playable condition...with a base upscale. WrathOfTheLion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sucker for iconography, color plates, all that kind of stuff, so I'm hoping we get some cool stuff for that in the Supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumsy_explorer Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Im wondering what will happen with Bladeguard Veterans given the chance to arm Knights with swords. WIll they be a cheaper option for a squad of three? It would be interesting to give similar armed units different abilities in order to make them all playable. Say Infiltrators and Incursors, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I am guessing BGVs will be cheaper since Knights will be tougher, have better armour and Teleport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Interesting that the Asmodai sculpt seems to harken back to the classic colour illustration in the Angels of Death Codex. Personally, I would be happy without the smoke, which can be difficult to paint satisfactorily. I still have my original version to paint and assemble somewhere along with the Knights. If I ever come back to 40K, I would probably start with them rather than buying the new models, nice though they are.

WrathOfTheLion Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Speaking of new decals, I'm pretty sure we can see some on the new Deathwing Knights. The crossed swords one (30k deathwing) and a couple of the others on the tilting plates look new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I’ll be using the Asmodai backpack without smoke, most likely, since he comes with that option. I also like his second head with the hood down. Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGV will also have a fairly good pistol. But the Knights are likely to be more than a (normal) Terminator with a hefty bespoke rule - my guess/hope is some sort of mechanic to make Port-And-Charge at least a 50/50 enterprise.
