No. I'm sick of walkers. I want a tank.
Have they got a new machine for making walkers or something? O_o

Well there is quite a popculture uprising of "giant fighting robots". That Pacific Rim movie...

There's been mecha anime for 20-30 years, we have the tau for that. The eldar were acceptable at a push but unless it's a plastic contemptor or whatever the FW dread is called it'll probably a silly oversized dreadknight.

Now who wouldn't want a plastic fellblade for their marines?

That would be cool but FW isnt going to give it up for some time if they ever do. And something the size of a dread knight but for space marines does seem right, more or less by design could be lot of that kit's sprue but perhaps with some other parts to broaden its use. It seems unlike GW to trash designs they could save money using a second time, if they aren't designing a new full sized apoc walker, then it wouldnt really befit them to make even another walker into their range thats just under or over the dread knight's size

and also big ups to mecha anime note, kind of wish 40k would take a cue and maybe develope some more sort of a dueling/skirmish mentality to titan/big armour games more similar to the mecha games they have "over there"

Grey Knights made sense as a Greater Daemon can be really big, and eventually scale matters. They've been getting progressively larger ever since and something the size of a Wraithknight will just be odd for Marines.

[MajorWesJanson]

Wraithknight size, sure. But what about the Dreadknight? barring all the curved plates and script, it seems like a decent base for a marine heavy weapons platform, a more mobile counter for the increasing neumber of tyranid monstrous creatures, wraithknights, and riptides. Think a Dreadknight with a normal marine or terminator piloting, with the curved plates replaced with more industrial blocky parts, and the elegant fighting arms replaced with ones with built in weapons, not hands. A cross between the Dreadknight and the suits from Matrix.

My only question is - considering that all the new units have huge miniatures like the Riptide, Dreadknight, a trend that the Grey Knights codex inspired with their Dread Knight, when are GW going to release the Chaos version of a dread Knight.

You know something similarly huge, a Toughness 8 MC with nasty high strength weapons, daemon rule, it will not die, the ability to take chaos marks, or become a Daemon of Chaos, and either wings or a jet pack, and the ability to get Feel No Pain?

Humans can not develop technology for dealing with the Tyranids, but I suppose framing it as a forgotten pattern seeing new use as the Tyranids close in works. But now I want one for my Guard. My boys deserve a place in the Giant Robot Fights of the 41st millennium.
