Chaos knights are my favorite they give you a large canvas to make every model unique. I don’t play nurgle but my tyrant uses a lot of bits from the plague burst crawler. I extended the barrels of flamethrower, put an extra joint in the knees and took two shields off of the plague burst crawler cut them in half and glue them together at the bottom to make large spikey shoulder pads. Their very fun.
Getting a knight is a good idea, not the cheapest idea, but still good haha. I think anyone who has a space marine army whether loyalist or traitor should have at least one in their army. I plan on running a Knight Acheron someday in my Salamander army. Gonna feel so much like a gunpla kit than an actual GW model kit haha. I cant wait to see what you do with this guy though. Gonna be a be project and a lot of paint for sure haha. Also Iv been hearing rumors that both knights and chaos knights will be getting some new goodies and that the Knight Tyrant may finally be getting its own dedicated kit for Chaos
It's so cool that a lot of armies can ally them in. That's a really good point you make, I might have to check out some Gunpla vids for inspo haha. I hope the new models aren't coming out too soon from now. I'll be so sad if a cooler version releases right after I finish this!
@Rokkis_Gaming_Lounge yeah it wouldn't hurt to check out some gunpla builds and painted kits. Something that large will handle a lot different than our standard mini's and even tanks. I don't think there's any clue to when either knight factions will be getting their codex. I'm just now hearing rumors, and usually, that means it's easily months away if not a whole year, so potentially 2025 at the earliest
Those big knights always look so cool once they're painted up and looming over their allies. Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours! Just remember to always try and have a CP in the bank before you go to fire that harpoon. Nothing worse than rolling a 1 on that gun! 🎲
Looking forward to see how you paint it up, I have one in the pile for my T Sons army set to be my next big project and its fun to see the creativity of how people make Chaos Knights their own with schemes/basing/conversions. What magnets did you use for the weapon/hips?
A Thousands Sons themed knight would look awesome! I used 6mm magnets for weapons and top half of the body. There's a small gap in the hip joint that fit a 4mm magnet in it, so I used that for the bottom half :)
Knights are always fun to play with. When i got my Rampager ive brought him to every game since. After seeing your Land raider i cant wait to see what you do with this. Maybe something along the lines of Overwatch "Overgrown Bastion"? Anyways, great vid as always 🫡
Wow the Rampager has a really scary profile, I'll have to try it out too one day! You are not too far off what I was thinking for the paint scheme. I've got a couple of new ideas too that I want to try out :)
Congrats on getting a Knight Rokki! Can't wait to see the finished result, Have you also seen the latest Flashgitz video "The WORST Elden Ring Player Of All Time"? They had a knockoff Great Unclean One and it was having a Cherry blossom tree growing out of it. Maybe this could be used for your new Knight? Great video as always, Godbless!
As long as I can hide the receipts haha. I'll try out both eventually and see which option better fits the army. I've actually gone up against the Brimstone Lance in the past and was able to shrug off a lot of the damage with invuls. My unit of Plague Marines were then able to take the Tyrant down on their own because all of it's weapons were blast so it couldn't shoot into combat.
There's different ally rules for each faction. For Deamons you can only bring up to 25% of your max points. Knights you can bring either 1 big one or up to 3 little ones. No point limit for knight allies :)
So what you're really saying is that in a few months, your meta will all be playing imperial knights and chaos knights? 😂 Would love to know what tools you use to do your conversions of cutting and magnetizing.
Either that or a lot of anti-vehicle lists haha. I use a little Citadel saw that is really good for cutting through plastic. Also a hobby knife and power drill when required. The drill is great because I can make the holes the exact size they need to be for the magnets. Only other thing I can think of really is green stuff 🤔
your very relaxed, low jump cut style of video is so insanely refreshing from what ive seen as a newcomer to the hobby, absolutely love it
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
that's a giant jungle gym for the little lords
No doubt they will be making an appearance on this miniature haha

That sounds awesome! It must really stand out on the table :) I'm gonna start rummaging around the boxes to see what I can find to make mine unique.
With how creative you got with the Land Raider, I’m quite excited to see what shenanigans you get up to with this guy!
I've got a couple of ideas in mind which I think could be really cool 😉

Yay! I am thinking about adding this big boi into my list as well

Even more incentive to start bringing a Tallyman! Maybe I will have to get around to painting him next haha

NICE!! I have a knight painted to ally with my SM army, maybe, someday lol when I don't want to run 3 squads of infantry.
Gotta see the final finish …
Enjoy!!!!
Let the Galaxy Burn!!

I have a Tyrant too! I use it to answer the x2 Doomsday arks in my meta
Awesome! Any tips you can give me on the best way to use it?

Thank you! That sounds awesome, I haven't seen that one. Will check it out :)
Knight + Mortarion to field ~1000 points in two models.
Maybe I should start playing 3000 point games haha
don't think you can hide that from the missus 😂....
would you consider the brimstone lance instead, just for range and hits alone..

Ayyyyyyyy my man
I thought max for bringing Allie’s is 500 pts? The tyrant unfortunately rounds in at 510 points
