| So this thing is apparently going to be the biggest model in 40K... According to Dakka Dakka. So the question is how many are you getting? | |

| It really turned me off from Eldar. I was somewhat excited about the release before I saw the price on the Wraithknight....over $100!!! Seriously?! Why is it every army has to have a Monstrous Creature now?
I can't wait to see what the new Monstrous Creature is for Space Marines... It'll probably be a "Wallet Abomination" with the special ability: eats all your money. | |

| Have you seen the size of this thing? Larger and more pose-able than a PP Monster thing...and cheaper, and plastic.
While I'm not saying it's cheap, it's a huge model. Apparently almost as tall as a titan...

| I'm not thinking teh marines will get a monsterous creature other than their dreadnought cause they already have titans just not in 40K... yet... But I guess Time will tell.
Wraithknight is HUGE big big big!!!! Bigger than stompa, about the size of warhound Titanish yea did I mention Big!!! | |

| Until the new version of apoc is released and they announce plastic titans so that all of these new monsters are geared for apoc | |

| Just out of curiosity, and I mean no offense in any way in case someone takes it that way, what do you guys normally think of as a standard size for 40k games? I only ask because this new Knight model is really pushing the bounds, for me personally, on what I consider appropriate for "non-apoc" games.
Seriously. Its huge. Is 40k become a Robot vs. Robot game?
I'm not sure how I feel about all these new Monstrous Creatures being added. Just being honest. | |

| Look at the riptide sure it’s big and bad but it’s not overpowering its worth its point cost. I don’t think you will see models such as these overpower the game. Do we have an exact height yet for the model? Or is it just speculation off pictures which might be angled to make it look bigger than it really is? | |

| I see the Eldar got a rock em sock em robot. Wait till we see what monstrosity orks get, Ghazgkull on steroids?, Giant Squiggoth that isn't forge world or some other thing. I don't think it's a big deal to have monstrous robots on the field as long as they look like centerpieces, they have been trending that way with the scenery they have been releasing lately (fortress of redemption) so it's just another new thing so let's see it saturday.

| I dig the fluff for it. The Pilot is in constant morning for it's twin. Reason being, it's twin is the spirit stone that is equipped on the Knight itself. | |
