    I'm planning to magnetize it... because it's a $140 kit and I have to live on a middle school teacher's salary.

    Paladin for my first as it'll be taking the place of two Leman Russ tanks.

    any others I will magnetize.

    yeah, why even think about making a choice when you don't have to? with a kit that size magnetizing should be a piece of cake...
    game wise I'll try out the Paladin first though I think...

    If I were to get one, nothing would stand up to my Knight of Ni. My strength D Herring will cut down ALLLL the treees and my Shrubbery Shield will deflect all attacks! So much lols to be had with Monty Python Knights talk at the group last night xD. The Black Knight would have to be magnetized so that all the limbs can be taken off according to how many wounds it takes.

    I'd rather try out the Leviathan Crusader or Leviathan Mortis - the same size and weapons (optional weapons extra) for about half the price...

    I like their cleaner lines and completely positionable arms, legs and torso.

    No magnets are needed to swap out the 7 Extra weapon options and a body upgrade.

    How is this even a question? IMO, GW really failed rules-wise. The Paladin is actually very fair for the points, whereas the Errant adds basically nothing useful. The Battlecannon Paladin outclasses the Melta Errant so much, it isn't even funny.

    The only way the Errant would have been competitive is if it had a Destroyer gun: S(D) AP1 R24" Small Blast, Destroyer. Even then, the Paladin is arguably superior, due to the 72" range and dual Large Blasts. Just not as obviously so. Pity, really.

    Neither, 85 pounds for an 8" model is stupidly exorbitant, I refuse to pay baneblade money for something smaller than a 70 quid Wraithknight or stompa. So I'll wait till they start turning up cheap on fleabay.

    THIS ... in spades, and then only for a laugh. Because of the recent business model changes, nobody in my group is buying anything new for 40K (I think I am the only one). My primary opponent has been rounding out his army by buying out stock from those who are quitting, and nobody I know of is go for the "TSR style" splat book money sink.

    Actually, lately, I've pretty much limited myself to Warmachine (Cryx) and El Viejo Dragon (ASR series) miniatures (that latter being for the benefit of two who thinks far to much of themselves ... seriously).
