Knight Destrier

[derLumpi]

Oooo, I like it! 

[sarabando]

i need to know if its legs are posable and if i can customise its loadout at all. 

[Orange Knight]

Looks great to me. It's like the Cerastus class but a much better and more practical size for the game.

Fantastic overall.

[irlLordy]

Kinda strong "We have Knight Lancer at home" vibes to it unfortunately. At least this has actual guns.

[ggergnayr]

I really like the second helmet option. It’s like a knight helmet and a classic Cadillac grille got mashed together, and the pennant is a solid touch.
Overall a big yes from me on this middleweight. 

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Idk it seems awkward to me.

 

like I would have used a bigger little gun, like a lascannons instead of what appears to be a hvy stubber.

[Marshal Reinhard]

I'm thinking at bare minimum, the legs will be shiftable like the Dominus, ie, you'll be able to choose which foot that's forward.

 

I'd suspect that initially, the loadouts might be limited to the two that we see here? Like the Questoris, there might be future weapons eventually. Though its a little suspicious that we haven't seen one in knight house colors yet (but perhaps a leap to assume that'll show more armament options)

[Jukkiz]

so... we´re still getting static legs and that´s it? another 100€ knight with two weapon options and then later they add weapon sprue to it for more? 

[Kyari]

Hoping this lands somewhere in the 200-250 point range so that it fills a nice little middle ground of wanting something bigger than an Armiger but not wanting a full on Questoris, particularly for Allies and 1000 point games.

[Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla]

The model isn't bad but lorewise I don't understand neither how that rocket buster is supposed to work nor how Destrier's niche is different from Questoris' one.

Seen from the front, those legs look very like the Chaos Knight Ruinator's legs - just scaled down a tiny bit.

Perhaps even Armiger legs scaled up a bit.

[Mogger351]

Time for the cerastus to go bye bye I think. This feels like a way to get a small lancer into the space.

[librisrouge]

I admit, I'm not a fan of baby's first lancer.

The "thighs" maybe - they're very narrow.

 

The full armour on the "shins" however, does seem to me a little more evocative of the Ruinator than the Armiger.

[Osteoclast]

The design feels a bit too smooth to me, if that makes sense. Can’t quite put words to it. Was also confused by the lack of obvious jet pack on it when it’s highlighted in the next. Clear opportunity for a 3rd party retrofit at least. 

[RedFox]

I'm surprised by the reaction. To me this is the best looking knight so far.

 

I'm guessing it will cost around 250pts

I second you except as far as the stubber mount is concerned . And the drag cannon. Otherwise the line is fine.

[Armchair Warlord]

I was looking forward to this - Unfortunately, the excitement has worn off in under one afternoon.

 

This is a totally unimaginative offering. Alas very 40k these days. The weapon options are nothing imaginative, and as others have already stated  - this is just a head nod offering of a knight Lancer for 40k. No new weapons - just more 'knock down the health bar' in the way 40k now plays. Nothing tactical, nothing to add variety, nothing that truly has the flavour of something that can be written into being a variant chassis from the 'Dark age of Technology era'

 

The Pros ( for me).

 

1, I do like the legs, torso and head - but that's just because more Knight is just more Knight for me (see below) - these parts are just bits for the bits god ! A base to build something I dream up later.

 

The Cons 

1, The legs most definitely do NOT look poseable. Which leads to :

2, Easy build, limited pose kit - AT best I hope that the left leg and right leg can swap ( like the Armiger)

3, Forgeworld seems to be something of the past these days - So I doubt we can look forward to a more oddball Resin/Plastic variant. That in the past, would be coming out a whole lot sooner than an extra plastic sprue, IF they do one - (The Dominus hasn't had anything since release).

4, Nothing fresh as far as the weapons go - I read that as we probably aren't going to see 30k rules for it..... We haven't had rules for the Dominus since HH.1.

 

Overall - 

 

I was eagerly awaiting the reveal of a 'new imperial knight' when it was first talked about a little while ago. I'm an absolute fan and obsessive nutter for Imperial Knights! My own Knight army has got well out of hand (about 32 knights currently) , and I've converted (kitbashed for the younger readers !) All of them in one way or another. To the point where I've already revisited some of the original Epic Space Marine designs, or invented new 'chassis classes' of my own. I was hoping for something far more different than a shorter Knight Errant.

They didn't mention anything about it being available to Chaos Knights, an oversight or they'll get a properly chaosified variant?

Welcome to a warhammer 40k forum.

 

If it's something new, it will automatically be hated by a vocal minority. 

[Wispy]

Oh that is slick. I like it a lot, feels like something in between the Cerastus and Questoris patterns.

Welcome to the internet, where differing opinions are immediately dismissed via fallacies.

Possibly neither, not happy if so though.

I haven't read a single post where anybody has actually stated they 'hate' it.
