I started to follow 40k three years ago, coming from StaCraft & WarCraft, the more i dig into 40k lore/art style, the more i see how it’s light years ahead of what Blizzard ever conceived
Blizzard didnt concieve it... If the rumours hold true Starcraft was meant to be W40K but differences of opinion split them away from W40k. Warhammer is WAY older than Blizzard games, Blizzard merely switched it too pc from tabletop. Their MOST popular games were concepts STOLEN from GW.
@@darkhowling6425 Yeah i know, Blizzard devs are the Blood Ravens of Game Development, but i still like StarCraft for some good ideas and i liked WarCraft 3 that was a good mix between WH Fantasy and a western comic, then came WoW that's absolute trash
Lol blizzard literally stole the ideal for StarCraft from GW. Also imo Blizzard have always been hack frauds who just got lucky by making a few genuinely good games.
@@Monkeyman12534 one reason I've always preferred 40k is because it's so different from any other setting. Why I actually prefer AoS to fantasy (heresy I know)
I have 1...at regular scale. It’s BIG. Like, almost as big as a Warhound. We have apocalypse once a month at my FLGS I use it at. I use it for regular games occasionally, and it’s a beast. A friend brought 10 Bladeguard veterans, and I rolled hot and he rolled not. I wiped the whole shebang in one go. And it’s a cool looking model.
Knights are just so damn cool, i wish i could bring myself to invest in a porphyrion but they're just too expensive 😂 loving the chonky range reviews :)
All hail the giant waddling potato! Some day I want to get the castigator, that this is beautiful! For probably the first time ever I gotta disagree with you though, the Atropos is my least favourite. That weapon on its left arm and the shoulder pauldrons just don’t do it for me. That being said, the head is cool the whole knight screams “Perturabo is my daddy” which isn’t terrible at all after all the Iron Circle domitar look fantastic.
I've heard that the FW knights are actually pretty easy and fun to put together; it's the price that's off-putting! Also, I really want some of those Moirax Armigers. :)
I feel the reason why you think the price is so steep is that for 37 pound (57 usd) you get one warglaive while for 45 pound (75 usd) you get two, in that aspect if you was to Field 2 of the fw ones it will cost 74 pound (114 usd) which is ludicrous cause they could just sell it as a upgrade kit at a fraction of the cost
For an ammo belt, you can try a rectangular run of green stuff, and you can press in different places for a segmented ammo belt feel to it. Lead it into a kitbashed ammo box stuck to the back.
Castigator is my favorite of the Cerastus class. I love the bastard, looks goddamn beautiful on the battlefield. I want to get the Acherus some day make paint him up like Doom Guy for extra RIP-AND-TEAR.
Loving the forgeworld vids. Keep them coming. Back in the day people get their nose up if you use a model/unit from forgeworld mainly due to busted ruled. With 8th I hope it's changed that image more as the rules are more in line with other things. Love my forgeworld vehicles and look to add a warhound to my Night Lords
Traditionally, FW rules come in two main flavors: busted good, and busted bad. AIUI, they're a bit more balanced these days, but points costs still sometimes are out of whack.
I want to run an Knight Atrapos as a Knight Preceptor, just because I love how different the Cerastus line is from the Questoris. I just wish there were more weapons options so I could build the loadout that I want, but luckily the Atrapos's plasma cutter is similar in design as the Precetor's las-impulsor.
Forgeworld have succeeded with their knights where GW proper have struggled, i feel. All of the knights feel distinct from each other, the mechanicum knights have their own aesthetic. The 'basic' knights have theirs, all the while having enough commonality to look good together. GWs knights look so samey, its such a shame that over the years as they added sprues to the base kit that the only nod individualizing your knights was face plates. I would have loved to see a sprue for mechanicus knights with distinct armor plates and maybe a weapon unique to them. And the same for both knightly houses and freeblades.
The Acastus Knights feel very much like there was a plastic imperial and resin mechanicus design for each as there is with all the other knights, but at the last minute GW decided that both of them were going to be made by forge world instead. Possibly because they realised that "holy crap giving players the Porphyrion in regular games would be ridiculous".
The ammo feeds are great, the reason they're missing from the regular kits is because you can't bend plastic like you can with resin. It'd leave only one pose on a huge, center piece kit, or need to be in a bunch of extra parts. Would be cool to see fw produce an extra parts kit to add them though
I've got 2 of each cerastus painted and, yup, the atrapos looks the best, however there are a few bits of wierdness in the design when it comes to painting it. I had to drop shadow the petals on the black hole gun to make it look like it had armour plates, as there is no separation. there's also some awkward choices on the lascutter. but.. boy, beautiful model, I was the only one to take one to the LVO... and I took two:)
Seeing some of these Knights made me want a Transformers tabletop game. Most Cybertronians would be normal pieces like Space Marines but there's larger pieces like Combiners, Titans & Citybots. Devastator, Omega Supreme & Trypticon being respective examples. Combiners could work in that you have normal pieces for each component bot that must be on the field and close together before their Combine ability can be activated, swapping all 5 or 6 figures for the larger combined mode figure. Otherwise gameplay would probably play just like the 40k tabletop.
Huge humanoid combat robot controlled by a human pilot with two Gatling guns bolted together and a massive sword designed for agricultural use: exists Kirioth: realistic
It technically is. If we can solve the balance and stride issues (and obviously, power requirements), two-legged platforms are far more universal than treads or wheels, especially on the rugged terrain of all kinds.
@@J_Warral yeah but what about the bit where it cuts ears of corn with a chainsaw sword? And even if legs are the best way to move, I doubt it would take such a recognisably human form.
@@X3._.n3 well... 1). Funny enough, but any bipedal machine will be exactly as close to human as possible - simply because human body is the most efficient bipedal platform, capable of fantastic balance control and terrain traverse. Mother Nature and b*tch-queen Evolution took care of that - we wouldn't be dominant species on the planet if our locomotion system wasn't overall the best one. 2). About Knights and Corns. You're making the common mistake of comparing 40K to a modern world. Knights weren't made to cut the corn - they weren't made for the tame Earth-like environments at all. Want an example of what they were made for? House Vyronii hails from a world Damaetus III - a planet covered entirely in massive forests and swamps. How massive? *Small trees* on Damaetus III could be *dozens of meters* wide in thickness - and biggest ones were dozens of kilometers thick and reaching up to the stratosphere. Now that massive chainsword suddenly makes way more sense, right? Here's another small tidbit. Those massive trees often had hollowed out, rotten cores, which were used as lairs by Damaetus III's native species - cephalopod-mammalian hybrid Xenos, with limited intelligence and massive, raw psychic power, which they used to literally fry minds of their victims and consume them. Each one of those semi-intelligent Xenos-beasts was capable of killing hundreds of humans for one meal and only strongest of will, only in Knight's Thrones, could resist their push. P.S. This is the thing that many fans forget. 40K's galaxy isn't like our Earth. Earth is relatively tame by the galaxy standards - we have no killer-flora of Catachan, no brain-eating octopus-Xeno-beasts that reach hundreds of meters, no vulcanic hellish conditions of Dragon's End and so forth and so forth. Don't compare 40K to our tame Earth, please.
@@J_Warral we're the dominant species because we're smart and have fine manipulation ability through our hands. The pilot provides the first of those and if you need the second you use something smaller than a knight, so a knight wouldn't really have need of a head, and there's no reason for it to have two main arms. imo the most efficient method for one with just guns would just be all those weapons just sitting directly on the legs. Also, isn't assuming the whole galaxy is like Daematus III just as narrow as assuming it's all like earth. Sure a chainsword could be useful, but I don't see why they would be a standardised thing, more like an extra if you need it.
@@X3._.n3 so the apes have five fully articulated fingers. Except their weight balance, especially when moving forward, isn't even remotely as good as ours. Whilst I am not saying that bipedal form is the only reason for human dominance, it is one of the many key ones. Guns on legs?... what?... Also, whilst not entire galaxy is like Daematus III (but a large part of it is - humans and Earth are generally tender meat if you'd look at conditions and species of 40K, by galactic standards), Knights weren't deployed on every world - only on the worlds where they were needed. Also, I start to suspect, that you really don't know anything about 40K - otherwise, you'd know that Reaper Chainsword is indeed modular - in fact, *entire Knight frame is modular,* with a vast array of tools/weapons to choose from. But seeing you over-focused on Reaper Chainsword (which, by the way, can be used to cut even rocks), I suspect you really don't know much about 40K.
I know what you mean about adding some sort of ammo/fuel to the models. Makes a huge difference. I add cabling and power packs to my plasma tactical support squads for a similar effect. I think it looks better at least.
That Derpy Acastus, chop off the elbow, rotate the guns 90 degrees so they are horizontally aligned, stick them where the elbow was, higher up. Sorted👍🏻
It wasn't until I actually ordered a Forgeworld kit that I found out why they're so much more expensive than GW: they come with the entire plastic kit as well! I ordered the two Trukk kits and after constructing them I had most of a third Trukk leftover... If one is a savvy trader, you could probably sell the spare knight weapons and and other bits on ebay and come out almost even. Those knight weapons go for a lot!
Once I got my warlord and decided it needed things to protect it ...that's when I brought Forgeworld knights. Have the three cerastus varients ...not the Atropos or whatever it's called though
The obvious solution to the Acastus is you need to buy both and kitbash them together. Absolutely agree on the Atrapos. The best/coolest looking Knight.
I love all the cerastus Knight-Castigator is my favourite as it's the first knight I ever got and now I have all the cerastus models and the look awesome together
Oooh, the Atrapos is definitely my most favorite model indeed. I am also wanting to get my own Mechanicus Knights for my Adeptus Mechanicus army. Just for the looks!
Not sure if both are available in the kit but the single cyclops head I've seen on the Magaera knight models are much better than the sad robot one on the Styrix.
As much as I love the idea of the questoris I don’t think I could get one since they started making the cerastus. The Acheron would be a fantastic backing to my Salamanders but I have to agree that the Atropos looks incredible! One day....
With the increase in price for GW models it no longer makes sense to purchase these here in the states. Would really love to add to my collection but the pricing is just ridiculous.
I own a Lancer and I love it. Deciding on a pose was a bitch but once you lock it down it was a great project. If you can justify the money and you want a Cerastus I highly recommend
I have only one problem with the knight-castigator, and that’s that the sword is too short, as is the sword arm. I find both just a little on the short side. If both were maybe 10% longer each I think it’d look much better.
Atapos is my favorite cerastus. The Acheron is a close second, the Lancer is third, and the Castigator is my least favorite. I just can't get over how ridiculous it is to have such little articulation for it's sword arm. If you want to pose it in a resting state, you have to bend the entire arm below the elbow just to point the tip of the blade downwards. If the Castigator had articulation at the wrist, or if the sword was arm-mounted tonfa style, I would like it much more. However, for reasons unknown, FW has decided not to give you the option of acceptable slashing poses out of box.
im only a few years into actually doing the hobby but i always wanted to get one of these i know Titans are a different level but ever since i saw that Walking Church over a decade ago in that store its been in the back o me head big stomp robuts with earthshatterlazors, man
Kirioth - ‘The best thing about the ForgeWorld knights is the ammo packs on their back’ Also Kirioth - ‘This is my favourite ForgeWorld Knight!’ (The only one without the ammo pack😂)
The Atropos is absolutely my favorite...but is a real bastard to assemble. The questoris knights look really good on the table...the Magaera was my first FW knight, but is not the best stat-wise.
For me it's the Lancer. The moment I saw it I knew I needed it. Plus I have an idea for how to make it look unique. My only real issue is I'm a terrible painter and I want to do the model justice.
Personally I’m gonna have to go with the castigator knight and the knight porphyrion they just do it for me. Something about Gatling guns and turbo lasers.
It seems to me the actual knight helm is still flipped up and their faces are always showing shouldn't the face plate rotate from above their faces protect and look more armoured and way cooler ?????
I really like the ammo/tube feed for the guns as well but then if I think about it sensibly (which I shouldnt), they are friggin exposed, a well placed shot onto them can pretty much render the entire gun useless haha, cutting the ammo feed from the gun.
I actually used to HATE the Atrapos whenever I looked at the FW knights. But after looking at the bare resin here, I've softened up to it. I think it was the really dull paintjob and awkward posing that did it for me. Bare it looks much better.
Haven’t watched all the video yet, doesn’t the castigator have the ammo belt you want? (Yeah it did; never mind) I own the castigator, they are a pain to put together. I want the Atropos. Of course. Personally I reckon the acastus porphyrion is great too. That chunk of resin looks like the terminators roided up big brother. While I can see people fearing the Atropos, i reckon the Porphyrion properly causes terror ( *2nd edition reference intentional)
The Asterius reminds me of Big O (the show, not the titular robot) for some reason. I can't quite say why, but it looks like a Megadeus, and it's my favorite FW knight for that reason alone. If y'all don't know what I'm talking about, go track down the series right now. We're all cooped up home anyway. Might as well watch some great anime.
Yo, as a collector of the Tech Lads, I humbly request that you do a range review for the adeptus mechanicus, and it’s skitarii legions, loved the vid! Goodbye.
Everything from the Prophyrion to the end of the video look like they should be Chaos. Something about the proportions of them compared to the Questoris Knights just have a look that puts me in mind of Chaos taint.

I just bought a cerastus lancer, can't wait to build it!
That last knight looks like a terminator made by skynet! Thats the kind of vibes i get from it
Kirioth - ‘The best thing about the ForgeWorld knights is the ammo packs on their back’
Also Kirioth - ‘This is my favourite ForgeWorld Knight!’ (The only one without the ammo pack😂)
The Atropos is absolutely my favorite...but is a real bastard to assemble. The questoris knights look really good on the table...the Magaera was my first FW knight, but is not the best stat-wise.
I have a lancer and its my favorite model i own. It was my first forgeworld model. Also holy shit is the spear massive on the model.
For me it's the Lancer. The moment I saw it I knew I needed it. Plus I have an idea for how to make it look unique. My only real issue is I'm a terrible painter and I want to do the model justice.
Personally I’m gonna have to go with the castigator knight and the knight porphyrion they just do it for me. Something about Gatling guns and turbo lasers.
I love the Castigator too but its 300!$ in the USA. we get the pleasure of spending about 50 extra dollars for the same product.
When I get to the stage where I can afford one (but can't afford a Warhound) I'd totally get a Castigator.
Isnt there some rules to be able to field atrapos? Its my fav by far. Then moirax.
I’m a castigator man myself in regards to the cerastus knights
It seems to me the actual knight helm is still flipped up and their faces are always showing shouldn't the face plate rotate from above their faces protect and look more armoured and way cooler ?????
I really like the ammo/tube feed for the guns as well but then if I think about it sensibly (which I shouldnt), they are friggin exposed, a well placed shot onto them can pretty much render the entire gun useless haha, cutting the ammo feed from the gun.
I actually used to HATE the Atrapos whenever I looked at the FW knights. But after looking at the bare resin here, I've softened up to it. I think it was the really dull paintjob and awkward posing that did it for me. Bare it looks much better.
Haven’t watched all the video yet, doesn’t the castigator have the ammo belt you want?
(Yeah it did; never mind)
I own the castigator, they are a pain to put together.
I want the Atropos. Of course.
Personally I reckon the acastus porphyrion is great too. That chunk of resin looks like the terminators roided up big brother. While I can see people fearing the Atropos, i reckon the Porphyrion properly causes terror ( *2nd edition reference intentional)
I think Veuglaire is said like View Glare?
12:25 Ooh he's a big'un! A serioud big'un! O_O
as someone who owns an atropos I am happy
OK i now know what my nest personal 3D modeling project is
The Asterius reminds me of Big O (the show, not the titular robot) for some reason. I can't quite say why, but it looks like a Megadeus, and it's my favorite FW knight for that reason alone.
If y'all don't know what I'm talking about, go track down the series right now. We're all cooped up home anyway. Might as well watch some great anime.
Yo, as a collector of the Tech Lads, I humbly request that you do a range review for the adeptus mechanicus, and it’s skitarii legions, loved the vid! Goodbye.
Everything from the Prophyrion to the end of the video look like they should be Chaos. Something about the proportions of them compared to the Questoris Knights just have a look that puts me in mind of Chaos taint.
I would replace the arm-guns of the porphyrion with apocalypse missile launchers
i word i would recommend instead of realistic would be believable
"its a believable mechanicus design" as an example of my meaning in this
13:30 functional... that is about what your looking for, a thing that looks like it could function.
I'm a Castigator and Lancer man myself.
I am currently working on all 4 of the Crastus knights, just finished 3 Moirax, a Styrix and Mageara pics on my Instagram airbrush.cowboy ;)
the acastus is genuinely the same height as the warhound. Not the same chunkiness tho
I'm sorry. But my favourite is the knight lancer and I'm the same, as soon as forge world opens, one WILL be mine. Oh yes. He will be mine
We know you love your head wait...
Porphyrion for me, all the way, I am an old School batteltech fan and this one looks propper mech-y!
main requirement of watching youtube channels: Harmonious voices. Subbed.
My favourite is the Kytan.. oh wait that's not a knight.. or is it? No but the Knight Moirax is my favourite. The smaller knights are cool
I have a Castigator, it wasnt that bad to put together.
i love the flamer/fist knight most. still. if i buy forgeworld it'll be a warhound.
Kirioth how could you miss out the Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan
Buy for my favourite of all the titans
veuglaire - a french medieval cannon - vu-glare
Forge World Chaos Knight?
I've pronounced Veuglaire as 'vo-glare'.
You forgot the chaos questoris Knight, I thought that would have been a high priority for you
If I ever win the lottery...
I mean they could have called the Volkite Veuglaire the Volkite Crapaudaux..
