Dezron Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 About the new Knight, quite the fan of it having multiple melee options. Hopefully it's something else then fist and sword. Nothing against them, but I would like some variety. Besides that, if that Knight is more focused on melee combat, I expect it will be faster compared to other Knight Patterns.

The rules for it (picking a target to get a bonus against) don't really line up with the wacky loadout it has, and the wacky loadout doesn't even do that well into the preferred target (mostly W2 infantry).

A scaled-up Siccarain Ruststalker would be the dream. Something that looks like a humanoid robot, but whose mechanics make it look like it could attack from unorthodox angles. I'd also be happy with a General Grievous-style frame that just applies the more dakka math. Anything but another knight that's just in the fork and knife pose.

I wouldn't expect anything radical, especially from Imperial Knights. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get something like Centaur Knight, but let's temper our expectations. I would complain more about Chaos Knight looking too normal. Or maybe lack of Chaos god specific Knights.

Daylight Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 More tanks and vehicles for the Guard are always welcome. I also really hope there's truth to the GK rumors; the current models aren't bad but you can really see their age when next to the new terminators and other Space Marine models.

I’m not sure how it compares to a Russ, but just looking at it, it looks just as heavy as a Russ on lexicanum. i can’t imagine anyone referring to that as a light tank unless it’s like 1/2-1/3 the size of a Russ, which i really doubt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387587-rumour-new-knight-new-guard-new-kts/page/4/#findComment-6157963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbienw Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The designer said at the time that the Aurox was a Imperial Army Rhino equivalent and the Carnodon the Predator equivalent.

Marshal Reinhard Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 With the knight being proven real pretty much exactly as advertised, this bodes really well for the rest of the rumors. Yarrick and GK KT is something I'd love to see.

LSM Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Over on TGA's AoS Rumour Thread, known leaker 'Whitefang back me up' had made a post about a coming "Hypogriff" (which caused much speculation) before: Quote I’ll spoil the fun, the Hypogriff is for 40K. But it’s coming with some other metal friends, including an old man with some strapping new legs. Many have subsequently pointed out how "Hypogriff" conforms to IG tank naming standards. (The other sentence possibly suggests Yarrick in some sort of exoskeleton, but it could be an AoS hint I suppose.)

Mmmm. I was trying to think of what "metal friends" could mean, and it made me think Realm of Metal... and then I began to wonder if the "but" was to reframe the discussion back to AoS (as in, "the hippogriff is coming for 40k, but it's coming with [AoS stuff]). Alas, "an old man" did definitely make me think of poor Yarrick though. apologist 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387587-rumour-new-knight-new-guard-new-kts/page/4/#findComment-6158255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylerboodie Posted Tuesday at 01:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:04 PM i see what you did there. Valrak mentioned two Guard vehicles so i guess that is at least one of the metal friends, and perhaps the other (if just one more) is the Yarricknought.

So if mythologically speaking a hipogriff is half griffon, then this Hipogriff is the half track rumoured by Valrak. That's maths.

More new models or refresh of old ones? Multiple variants availible from the start? As for old man on new legs... My bet is Yarrick raiding around on some mechanical mount.
