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?
