scottshoemaker Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 So I've decided not to loot the Knight kit I have and slow build a knight army. I'm going for a mixed force of Knights and "Household Troops" (Scions most likely). I figure as it's a costly kit I'll go the full magnetization route, and do subassemblies for painting. I ordered the House Terryn upgrade kit as well. May as well go all in I figure. Do any current knight owners have any advice on building this big manly model? Any pitfalls or regrets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 If you get the dreamforge model, please chime in here Vonvilkee, you don't have to worry about magnetization. The ability to change load outs come built into the model. That said, here is the size comparison (eeek):https://www.google.com/search?q=size+comparison+Dreamforge+Leviathan+vs+Imperial+Knight&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS604&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&imgil=vfV6ttbKEacBLM%253A%253BXBt_g4ds_epYHM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fmordian7th.blogspot.com%25252F2014%25252F03%25252Fadeptus-mechanicus-knight-paladins_12.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=vfV6ttbKEacBLM%253A%252CXBt_g4ds_epYHM%252C_&usg=__K11qu0Cezw7bjwj6WxSnb-i9YwQ%3D&biw=1920&bih=971&ved=0CCkQyjc&ei=HyAPVNDHKKjpigLdj4HICA#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=vfV6ttbKEacBLM%253A%3BXBt_g4ds_epYHM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.cold-moon.com%252F40k%252FMiniatures%252FKnightHousehold%252FPaladin%252FKnightScaleShots%252520(1).JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fmordian7th.blogspot.com%252F2014%252F03%252Fadeptus-mechanicus-knight-paladins_12.html%3B1583%3B879 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 As an aside, I'm going to try and build a "lancer Leg" conversion kit, if anyone is interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 If you are going lancer style from my understanding he is a much larger kit. All of these are going to be expert level builds if you want some pose ability. I highly recommend a dreamforge guy as they actual metal screws that allow for solid posing before committing to glue. Have more gun options than GW and have good analogs as well. So cool and about lancer height from my understanding. Dreamforge-games.com If you want any pics with specific weapons mounted can do that! I have both body types and multiple of all the weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_bryan Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I would be happy to discuss this with you. After building 7 Knights, I am really familiar with the kit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 While the Dreamforge kit is nice I've already bought an Imperial Knight and the FW upgrade. I'm sticking with that for now. The lancer leg idea is just for funsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm thinking about mixing a few Gw knights in but the dreamforge kit is so amazing as you collect more I highly recommend it for the senchal or whatever to make him really stand out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
