Will be fairly easy to get the models at normal rrp. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710575492567307/?ref=share Perhaps there's still hope yet. Might push me over the edge and add a second Command Corps to the to-do list (even if it gets limited to 1 per army). Want to try my hand at converting/not using any original Command Corps minis to make it unique and fit with my Settler's Gain inspired new theme. Might even try out a Lethis scheme with all the raven-y Cities minis coming out (this, the assassin from Callis and Toll's team). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my pov, if you have a unit of Arch Knights, they lose their essence from the Command Corps unit. So I don't expect a unit full of them. It could be a unit of just Knights, lead by an Arch-knight as unit champion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly surprised we didn't get more lore about WHAT Arch-Knights actually are (rank, status, etc.) in the BT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation, but Arch-knight is probably something akin to Chapter master from fantasy, which would also fit with the animal theme and space marine chapters, this is a knightly order of the Golden bear or whatever, its chapter master wears a helmet in shape of a bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly IMO Sekhar just needs a mask and a better paint job for her skin.

She should’ve used a darker gold as well- Her skin is pale so it’s bright on bright, when dark on bright would probably look better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if they used the old/standard gold (retributor armor, reikland flesh shade, liberator armor +stormhost silver) I think it could've worked out.

Danaork Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 4 hours ago, PJetski said: La 4e édition sera presque certainement dévoilée à Adepticon (20 au 24 mars) et sera probablement lancée en juin. Dawnbringers 4 sort le 10 février Dawnbringers 5 sortira probablement autour d'Adepticon, et Dawnbringers 6 sortira en avril/mai ou sera simplement mis en conserve comme le livre d'Alarielle Broken Realms. Il semble qu’il y ait eu quelques revers dans le calendrier de sortie en raison de ce qui a causé le ****** de Legion Imperialis. Difficile de s'enthousiasmer pour Dawn 5/6 s'il y a une nouvelle édition d'ici quelques mois ! 17th february, pre-order is for 2 weeks. Broken realm Alarielle ??

That's what I do with a lot of models with faces I don't exactly enjoy, like Teclis and the GSC Sanctus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arch Knight is like a Retributor in comparison with a Liberator, a Knight would look something like Emelda from Cursed City: But she is just a Freeguild Captain. So IMO either they replace the Knight concept and we have a Captains unit, or they just give a *** about their Cursed City lore and we have a unit of Knights like Emelda, but never with that animals look. I think that would be reserved for the Arch Knights. Edited January 29 by Ejecutor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonhel Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I see no reason why GW couldn't release a unit that has the arch knight aesthetics. GW was never stopped by a "small" lore problem. The event mini is way to cool to be limited to one mini. Make a whole knightly order of that aesthetic. From knights on horses, knights on big ravens, a grandmaster and etc.. Cool stuff.

Vaellas Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The new Cities mini is amazing. As someone going full on Lethis it is perfect and looks like I'm gonna have to stalk eBay after the next big UK event for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the idea of raven riders as a demigryph replacement. (Years have i tried to get this thing...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize that! Dude even has a deer helm! Footslogging knights are my favorite, so I'm stoked to see what the foot version looks like Also wondering if we'll see some equivalent to pistoliers making a comeback! I had a whole Free Cities project in the works using Perry knights and GW rebooted the faction like three weeks after I got started in earnest, lol. Hoping Cities gets their second wave sooner rather than later so I can get back to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EonChao Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 For what its' worth with the event minis, they tend to be available at the UK Games Expo and any events at Warhammer World in the UK. After events any remaining stock is available there whilst it lasts. How long it lasts depends on the model. Last year's Commissar was pretty hard to get a hold of but the Darkoath was fairly easy to get. I know the Primaris Champion that was also difficult to get was available made to order at events too. A Kroot and a Cities of Sigmar figure... I could see both being not too difficult to get but very much worth joining the loot group (or going to an event if you can afford to as they tend to be enjoyable. Mini wise the Kroot is fine, I might get it if I can afford it at the time, the Arch-Knight though is amazing, definitely going to need to try and get myself one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
