Grey Knights - 2025' Codex and Nemesis Dreadknight upgrade sprue

I'd take the current Grey knight infantey kits over any of the primaris range any day.

with an upgrade sprue ? how ?

I think he meant the pilot, not the whole mini.

I think the banner between the legs helps to add a bit of balance to the silhouette. That's a good addition. And the new melee weapons are neat. 

 

The tiny micro-missiles on the chestpiece look extremely stupid to me, though.

I get that, but if the Pilot is bigger, the cage also has to be bigger (and thus new bits), if the cage is bigger, it connects to different parts of the dreadknight, so all parts of the chassis that are connected to the cage also need new bits on the sprue. If only vertically it looks to be slightly viable to just update the front, but any bulking horizontally would also require changes to the element on the back. It doesnt seem that simple imho, but I dont know the kit very well, thats why I wonder how. It would have been good if this update isnt just a temporary patch as the cadian upgrade sprue was a year or so before new cadians came out.. that felt really wasteful to me.

It's actually worse, there's now explosives strapped to the exposed pilot

No, it´s the only reason why it is in fact an improved design. It subtly nudges the collector to do likewise and graft explosives on his own initiative to the frame to celebrate New Year´s Eve. And don´t be afraid that random flying plastic bits will take out your eyes because the Emperor protects.

I like the dreadknight. I built and painted one and I think it looks cool. The new upgrade sprue is a decent enough addition to it.
