The Forge World Prepare for War! New Knight!

The introduction of Thulia Guld and her chunky Hastarii were a cool release, though nothing that screamed protection of Titans last week.  This though.....this changes a lot:

Meet the Knight Destrier.

WarCom sums it up in a pretty good way, too.  "The Knight Destrier is a pattern of Bellatus class Imperial Knight prized for its incredible speed and grace, achieved by slimming down the chassis and mounting two large rocket boosters to the back of its carapace. So great is the added thrust of these boosters that large counterweights must be added to the Knight’s legs to help it maintain balance."

Bellatus class.  So that means it's a new type in the vein of Armiger, Questoris, Dominus, Cerastus, and Acaustus.  For simplicity, the Bellatus is halfway between the Armiger and Questoris and is maybe a fifth smaller than its Questoris siblings.

It sports the beetle-backed carapace, reverse jointed legs, and the combined melee and ranged loadouts we are sued to - strapped to rocket boosters.  :)

Will you be adding these speed-loving Knights to your force?  And how will they fare/compete/assist the Cerastus Knights that they emulate?

AFTER ACTION PICT CAPTURES:

A deployment alongside the 82nd armoured regiment of the Death Korps of Krieg (also unfinished after 6 years of work... I'm a slow painter) facing chaos Knights in blue and gold, unfortunately the Reaver needed recovery alongside the death of the first company of the 82nd

ruly momentous battle of I'm actually starting to think it was I believe 20k points per side.

You had 2 Chaos Knight armies and a Tau army with a traitorous Reaver Titan Vs the Imperial Fists the Custodes and the 82nd Death Korps again. That was an indecisive battle but a lot of fun. The enemy Reaver killed my titan and then my Reaver killed his (units didn't stay dead we mostly came for the enjoyment of seeing friends).

One unfortunate battle between me and a good friend before he flew back home, his Night lords had taken Indomitable by surprise and managed to take down the titan with few losses, that was a wonderful game which I shan't forget but it's pictures are mainly of the perspective of his chaos marines facing down Indomitable.

The Reaver towers over the ranks of traitor Space Marines!

And alongside some rather large knights of other good friends who I once worked with as we face the Green skin Horde of another good friend who we worked with.

Comments: A second-hand purchase I was fortunate enough to get from another Titan Owners Club Member Andy B. (His Warlord here). The Reaver has been transferred from Legio Defensor and now acquired for Legio Astorum. Now undergoing the rites of Re-dedication and Re-construction. A complex magnetic arrangement in arms/weapons as well as shoulders to make close-combat weapons or ranged weapons interchangeable.

WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTOS:

In original Defensor livery, the kneecap has been re-painted to show the combined loyal service of this Engine now undergoing re-dedication to Legio Astorum.

Undergoing the Rites of re-construction and re-dedication, but a awesome walking pose from TOC Member Andy B. means this God Engine really suits close combat weapons, already armed with a 3D printed Reaver Chainfist - such a swagger! (Forge World Chainfist is long out of production!)
