The shooty Armigers are still in their box hahaha

And I picked up Adeptus Titanicus Imp knights this evening. They are sooooo cute.  I have great plans for them. So great. A Space Force kind of great.

Banana for size comparison

[InfestedKerrigan]

I think I found my new Terminator model for my "Imperial Knight" Terminator Legion.

[InfestedKerrigan]

So....I bought a MiniWarlord. The feet are like same size as an Imperial Knight kit's. This shet is crazy detailed, too. I can't wait til I figure out what I'm running it as in regular 40k. I was thinking Grey Knight Super Armor Terminator. Thoughts?

So are players that don't want to buy knights going to be allowed to field Terminators as knights? 😊

Does the Terminator they are fielding accurately reflect the model it is representing?  Does it have the same foot print?  Does it have the same Line of Sight to and from the model it is representing?  No?  Then no.  If they want to use Gundams, etc, IDGAF.  But I don't play against people who show up, unannounced and unwarranted, try to play proxy in ways that are just no.

[InfestedKerrigan]

Building the Warlord and an Armiger concurrently.  They are very similar in size, thus far.  Nearly interchangeable pieces, too.

@SPaceORK, Warhounds are going to be too small for Armigers. Reavers should be perfect, but awkwardly equipped. I'm planning on using Adeptus Titanicus for a Space Marine Chapter, possibly Grey Knights.

Assault Cannon/PowerFist Termies as Knights Warden with Thunderstrike Gauntlets it is! 😉

Shouldn't that be "Warhounds are going to be too small for Armigers"? If the Reaver is the right size, and it's bigger than the Warhound? Regardless, kind of a bummer. I was also hoping the Warhounds would make good Armigers.

[InfestedKerrigan]

Absolutely, I was looking at my Warlord when I was typing!

[SPaceORK]

I dunno! I want to use mini titans for something! Heck they might be the first models I buy just to look at.

Seriously. I actually just got a couple of others that are going to get the honour of being the very first*, but I'm getting a Warhound box, even if they just end up sitting around next to my POP! figures and collection of little owls and penguins and stuff.

*Caught a couple of the 54mm Models from Inquisitor on eBay, including Covenant, who was always my favourite from that line.

[InfestedKerrigan]

[InfestedKerrigan]

Reaver is quite smaller than the Armiger, and quite taller than Dreadbrute. 

[WestRider]

So, sort of in the Contemptor/Redemptor size range. It is kind of odd to me how the sizes increase relatively smoothly from Knight to Warhound to Reaver, and then there's this huge jump to the Warlord.

Also, I like the cute penguin box there in the background 🐧

[InfestedKerrigan]

Redemptor maybe. Both of those dreads are in Bend, so can't do that size check.  I'm thinking the Warhound will be a lil bigger than a Hel/dread.

 

Pretty sure they mentioned additional titan classes being introduced in the future. Maybe that will gap fill.

 

I'm looking forward to an Imperiator.  That should be close to Cerastus Knights in height. 

 

I'm cat sitting. She likes penguins, which is weird, she's not Catholic. 

[Guest]

Was just about to ask how the new plastic reaver compared to a dread. Awesome, answered without having to ask.

[InfestedKerrigan]

Whelp.  So, I am looking at getting a Kytan, and a Chaos Knight Conversion Kit.  I did, however, pick up the new Chaos Knight Kit from the LGS this morning.

 

Rough inventory including all the above would be at:

4 Armigers

3 Knights

2 Cerastus Knights

1 Desecrator

1 Kytan

1 Lord of Skulls

 

I'm hoping to be able to do some Kit bashing with Armor plates and the like.  Get the most bang for my buck outta the Spikey bits, so I won't be doing any armor on the Desecrator until the Conversion kit comes in.  Try to find my insta mold so I can green stuff some of the rivets and battle damage.  

[InfestedKerrigan]

@WestRider, anything I should be mindful of with Kytan assembly?

You've built Cerastus Knights. You'll be fine.

[InfestedKerrigan]

My goal is to have the 4 Armigers done, and the Desecrater all but done when the resin arrives.  Then I can decide how I want to mix and match armor.  I haven't glued the armor on my other knights, either.  This will give me a great opportunity to spread the 2 sets of Chaos leaning armor throughout the force.  >_> And time for magnets to arrive.  Can't find mine, and LGS isn't stocking at the moment.  Need to get some for my AT18 stuff, too.   I did locate a small bit of Insta mold.  I may order more, if I'm going to be ordering magnets.  I think I'll use the Desecrater Chassis as my Lord Commander.  Then, all I need is a Preceptor for that cluster of 5.   The Acheron, Castigator, and Kytan will need the Lancer and the Atrapos.  Hmm, I didn't think of the Magaera or the Styrix on the standard Knight Chassis. And another Desecrater/Rampager Kit, round it off at 8 of those guys for the time being.  I think I'm way off in wish listing now, as is I have 12 super heavies.  Oh, one of the guys I play with is interested in Apocalypse, as am I.  Plenty of opportunity to utilize.  I'm thinking about getting super familiar with that ruleset and get people playing that.  It's a win-win, I get to play with my knights, they don't feel so intimidated.  I'm so close to BattleTech, I'm mclovin it.  

[InfestedKerrigan]

I picked up the Adeptus Titanicus Porphyrion Knight kit, and Ironbelcher Air at the LGS.  The kit came with two sprues, one knight on each, with weapons.  I have one mostly assembled, have a lil more pre-assembly to do before priming it.  I'd also like to magnetize it in 3 places, the guns at the elbow, the shoulder, and the waist.  I don't have any small enough, so I'm that much closer to ordering.  May do some research and see what sizes I should get, since I know other people have already done the hard part.  The Mini Porphy is looking to be about the same size as an Aggressor, maybe a lil larger, I don't own any, and it's not completely glued together.

Get any AT18 yet?

I have not. I had to move earlier in the year, and then my disposable income took a pretty serious dive, so I've mostly been focusing what cash I have on stuff that I'm more likely to actually use.

That is the reason I went with a FW Chaos Knight, Neo-Chaos Knight Kit, and Kytan instead of taking a leap to a Porphyrion or Warhound Titan, yet.  I don't play enough to justify units that are going to collect dust.  Those three will fold in nicely, and are reasonable for casual play.  I still intend to use the AT18 stuff for a counts as army, just not sold on what, yet.  I do want to use it for actual games of Titanicus, but I'm not sure anyone down here is playing.  If I get a Photon 3d printer, I intend to go full bore into 6-8 mm models to play TIny Hammer.  Perhaps with Apoc Rules.  That makes the most sense, rules wise.  Then I can get my Board Gaming group into playing Mini-Apocalypse. 

 

Gonna jump in the shower, and head down to the LGS to assemble models, see if anyone shows to game.  Not gonna game, but I should socialize with the locals.  Maybe set up some games during the week.

 

I put away everything that is non-Knight, non-AT18, to focus on getting all these sprues taken care of.  I bought the models to hobby and game, not to hoard them in boxes and not assemble them.  Need to figure out Airbrush station, too.  Pick up primer on way home.  Bringing with me to assemble to priming stage: 2 Mini Porphys, 6 Mini Knights, 2 Mini Warlords, 1 Mini Reaver, 4 Armigers, 1 Knight Desecrator.   A few of them are in various stages of completion, already.  The KD has lower torso (minus plates) and most of upper torso (minus plates) complete, haven't touched arms yet.  1 of the mini porphys is almost done.  Same with a couple of the Mini Knights, that I've posted pics of previously.  Haven't touched them since those photos.
