We’ve had all three shown off, and I think the burny one had its sprue leaked? From memory, it did look to be a self contained variant sprue.

£120 seems pretty good to me. It’s significantly larger than the normal Knight chassis and much more posable, and only £15 more. The only downside is that there’s just one option in the kit. It’s also £10 cheaper than the AoS mega Gargant which although also comes with options is about the size of the normal Knight chassis IIRC.

Is there a size comparison to regular Knights?

I found this one from when the resin one first came out. I’m assuming the plastic is at least very close in size to the resin.

Oh okay. Yea +15 GBP is fine. I think I'll wait and get one of the other two since they look cooler, albeit the Lancer seems to have the most relevant weapons. At least if anyone local picks up a non-Marine faction the Acheron can kill all of it in one go with the Hellstrom template.

Yeah the size difference is significant. That and the posability (which is a pretty big deal for me personally) make me feel it’s easily worth the extra £15, even if it’s just one build.

They’re also going to get the Forgeworld Skew.
From a £225 resin kit with no legit way to get a discount, to a £120 plastic kit where you can seek a discount to best suit? Folk mostly see “why I can get this for easily half the original asking price”, not worrying that even with a 15-20% discount it’s still a fair old chunk of cash.

GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"

I'd guess starting with the 2 Age of Darkness Praetors and Mk6 in SoH and IF colors. Say a Sarge, basic bolter guy with auspex, vexilla guy, omniscope guy, heavy bolter guy and guy with autocannon.

I reckon we'll see the MkVI sgt exactly as pictured as well a generic MkIII marine. 1 or both of the praetors is a safe bet. Maybe a contemptor too. Might even see Horus if they're feeling daring!

Here is my unboxing & review of the Cerastus Knight: https://taleofpainters.com/2023/08/review-plastic-cerastus-knight-lancer/
Compared to the Knight Dominus/Valiant, you get one more large sprue and one medium-size sprue (Dominus/Valiant has three large sprues, Cerastus has four and a medium-size one). Also, you get not one but two pretty nice transfer sheets. Still not cheap of course.

Great review! One small question: You mention the arms are swappable. Does that mean the shield hand can be built as either a left or right hand?

Yeah, we saw that confirmed in the WarCom studio Knight article as well- https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/07/28/cerastus-knight-lancer-the-warhammer-studio-show-off-their-gorgeously-painted-lancers/

I think maybe it's just the shield but that lancer knight looks ugly as sin.
I'm sure it's meant to resemble a force shield or something but I feel like there could have been a better way of representing that than empty spaces.
Reminds me of a Bionicle but not in a good way.

You're not the only one. For me it's the back-bent double knee in the leg. Well, that and the fact that the shield is just a frame and really needed a clear acrylic force field component. But mostly the backward bending knees.
On the bright side, maybe it will sell well enough to justify them making the Porphyrion in plastic.

I like the chassis but the Lancer variant is totally dumb to me as well. Waiting for any of the other versions to release.

I'll have to say it looks much better than the normal Knight, which I always found pretty ugly and badly posed.
The FW Knights...well, they are no beauties as well, but still better than GWs, bar the Chaos Knight which might be the best looking one.
But I also feel they should have done something more interesting with the shield on that Lancer.

Have you? All mammal knees bend the normal way. The backwards part is the ankle. Also, the ankle and knee aren't right next to each like they are in the Cerastus.
