I'll probably buy one to replace my current resin one (who's in pretty bad shape and difficult to repair), or maybe give him a friend if I get too sentimental and refuse to throw him away. So yeah. I'll only be able to afford him when I return to the US in the fall, so I can't get him in the summer. Oh, well.
Gonna make use of the new plastic kit to make better poses than the weird one my current resin one is doing (I fethed up when assembling - and I hate assembling resin). We'll see. At least parts won't break off as easily, and even if they do, they'll be easier to repair.
Also...Horus Heresy roadmap!
Hmm, looks like new projects for me next year, but we'll see. The only notable thing I want this year is the Knight Lancer, and I'll probably get more stuff for Adeptus Titanicus and maybe a fledging Dark Angels Dreadwing platoon (or Risen Fallen Knights), but we'll see. Still, this looks promising, and melee weapons (?) and plastic assault squad mean I might be able to convert a Destroyer squad for Dreadwing. Again, we'll see. I don't know how it's going to work out eventually, but yeah. The only thing I know for sure is Knight Lancer and a bit of Dreadwing (you saw my Cataphractii Terminators yesterday). Well, the Terminators are Deathwing because I like the idea of Knights with swords and I was trying to be thematic, but they're attached to a Dreadwing platoon. Anyway, we'll see. I might just get Interemptors and go Deathwing instead, with Dreadwing and maybe Ironwing Dreadnoughts attached to them, but that's...all up in the air, and I might change my mind eventually.
But Knights? Hell, no. I'm primarily a Knight player, so yeah. Maybe we'll eventually see a plastic kit for the Acastus Knight Porphyrion. Who knows? In any case, that's why I'm posting about Horus Heresy and not Leviathan. I'm excited for 10th edition, but I'm more interested in the lore, and they're more about Space Marines and Tyranids. I'm a Knight player, so...I probably will just buy and read Darius Hinks's Leviathan and that's it. And get the Crusade book to...well, run a Crusade campaign for my Knights/Imperial Guard. Might be a great time to field a new plastic Knight Lancer for Crusade, though I think Tanaka (my self-insert, heh) might want to remain in Kazan and keep his melta thermal cannon. We'll have him follow Lord Takeda in Kensei instead!
Good lord, apparently their descendants pilot the exact same Knight suits 10,000 years later. Heh.
I really hope we get a plastic upgrade frame to make the lancer into the other cerastus variants (unless they pull a surprise and give us all the options in the kit for the castigator and acheron) I do hope though we keep the posability of the current resin one and do not get monopose knight legs
ReplyDeleteYeah, same! I'm looking forward to that. In the Warhammer Fest reveals, they said there will be a lot more posability in the plastic kit, so I think you don't have to worry about that!
