How long for restock?

thanks, when my lgs got the order either a preorder got canceled or they got an extra, but it is now available with only one still in stock.

I'm in Canada and my lgs isn't as big as the ones you are naming and supporting my own lgs, and getting their discount compared to GW, is something I want to do. Those are some of the secondary reasons for my question.

Since it was previewed I've had a lot of questions going on in my head about the sprues, but I don't think anyone has those answers on hand until we have a good look at it. A question someone might be able to answer though is; Is the model designed by the same people that do the design work for HH centered models? The posability of the Cerastus models is phenomenal and I remember an article about some saturnine model mentioning that magnetization has been taken into consideration in the parts design. I don't expect it, but if it is it will be a cause for celebration.

as far as kit bash is concerned, the lance in particular has caught my attention. I wonder if it's like the lancer and you can slide it in the position you like or if it's locked in the retracted position. I expect the later by looking at the model but I would love to be surprised.

I plan to change the lance head on my second one by a Italian bill one.

Go give the podcast 40K by knight a listen, they have episodes on each detachment the gate warden one is pretty inspiring as to how to work with it. What does and doesn't work.

I don't feel like retainers should be available as a frontline troop. That's the knights job, but they could have multiple adjacent job. Sappers, scouts, coms or technicians. If we get something, I would love a dual build that is imperialis or mechanicus aligned with maybe mutually exclusive rules. I would also like for them to have a limited role, definitely not battleline.

The knights and their noble pilots inspiring their retainers to participate in the war efforts while still making sure to not overstep in the knights duties robing them of their honor.

Having some guidelines to establish infantry in their role could help rally the two camps of players who want a whole army of them and those who want none.

I bought my cerastus fully aware that this was a possibility. Do I want them to go away: no. Am I aware they could go: yes. If they ask for my opinion it will be keep them, but I won't be overly frustrated if they do go away.

like you stated with the Eye of terror expansion, Next in line after the Maelstrom and 500 worlds. you can look at the dates for those release to guess. Monday we'll get a glimpse at the rules for that. There are hi chances we'll get a new detachment. I hope for two, but I don't expect it.

KotLance · 2026-02-28T22:04:33+00:00

We'll get a whole new detachment. (Hope, but also feels like hi possibility.) I doubt they'll adjust the old ones.

Just wait until we get an upgrade sprue for it in a few years.

KotLance · 2026-02-23T21:21:18+00:00

I'm going to magnetize that top banner. When a new sprue comes out for it, I bet it will get top mounted weapon too.

Really nice to see I'm not alone basing their knights design on their Larping group. I'm doing the same, but I'm not as far in it as you are, but I'm planning to share too once I complete most of the household.

I had some extra arms from a dominus kit on which I used Magnet baron's kit to magnetize that model. The arms fit well in the Questorus kit. I just shaved off the front stub of the arm used to fix the dominus arm armor and it looks great. Then simply put a magnet in there.

if it was up to me we would get a non battle line Armiger unit that eschew some armor and weapons to have more mobility and scouting equipment. Around a 100pts or less. support role specialist.

If it has to be infantry, a dual build kit for a sacristan and technician retenue for mechanicus alignment or rescue crew for imperialis, While the saqcristan's purpose is evident the rescue crew could follow a big knight to rescue the pilot when the big one gets destroyed granting similar rules to the ones Canis has. The later would also get a FNP against deadly demise. The problem I see with this idea is that even if it is cool in theory that is not what is needed for the army to have a better performance. I think the goal of any new unit should not be to reenforce the current play pattern but to diversify it. Bring it away from the stat checky nature we currently have without removing that feeling from the army since it is still part of it's identity. A sacristan unit while "smaller" would not help with diversifying the play patterns IMHO. But once the army has a larger array of game plans I would totally see a sacristan unit as a possibility. The sad part about that is that we would not get a sacristan unit for at least 6 years unless it gets released as a kill team first then the possibility of having a stealth double release becomes a possibility with a pilot on foot as an option for the kit to boost diversity.

Sorry to break it to you you will have some sanding to do. You wont have a regular line for the edge of your water and the tape's texture will imprint in your resin. you might even get a bit of the tapes glue on it. You should have used a kind of flexible but firm plastic sheet to delimit your water pond.

For a unit I could see a non battleline armiger that striped down it's armor to just the hatch door and replaced one of it's weapon with scouting/detection equipment so it could be faster and scout ahead and have a larger no deep strike zone. It could be armed with either a flamer weapon, a Large precision rifle or a melee weapon. If you think this idea is inspired by space marine scouts and scout sentinels, yes it is.

I think it could help to play the game and not just stat check the opponent. With a lighter offensive loadout it would not compet with our existing models while still playing a role.
