Alltimate Blue Knight - Articulations for Warhead
Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:07 am
Rather than bombard Natalya's thread with a whole bunch of photos, I have decided to place them here. The following are photos of joint articulations from the alternate joint-type I used when reconstructing Natalya's design. There are also photos of the wrist-mounted weapon systems I use [40K buffs will see a corollary to Grey Knight storm bolters].
So the elbows have near 90 degree movement, straight to bent. And thanks to Natalya's tap design, the shoulders can rotate 180 degrees no problem. The shoulder can also flap out slightly, but I didn't get a picture of that.
Here is my ankle-foot variation using these and cheese slopes. Because of the design, the ankle won't bend forward any...
...but the ease with which the Blue knights can toe-point into a balanced pose should be enough to make any russian ballerina jealous.
Wrist-mounted heavy bolter
Simple construction using more taps, camera guns, and a knob in the Alltimate's forearm.
The same design concept can be expanded with technic pins and umbrella bars to make a still-wrist-mounted auto cannon.
I think RoC asked if there were more than one of these dudes. Yes, boys and girls, there are 3 alltimate blue knights currently serving in the Ordo Orientium Flagrans. They were purchased as a countermeasure when the Space Knights began assaulting the Order's base on Reeo IX in early G.R. 2011. The knight in the middle is a hero, Logan Towers, head knight of blue knights and founder of the Order.
Stats!!! Divergence from Natalya's concept, the Blue Knight is treated as a Size: 2 SL: 3 vehicle with a pilot. Downside of designs - less rockets and more CP cost. Upside - an extra point of Size "HP" and beast whether in CC or at Range.
All the best,
Rev.

can come in though. Generally if something looks ossum your opponents are more likely to let you say it's more badass than the rules say it can be. I was at a hard place when I made the Black Knight because it is unclear whether it is size 1 or 2, so I opted with saying it is size 1 but structure level 3 (acting like it is a tough suit of armour) though saying it is a size 2 structure level 2 would also work, but that makes it seem less like armour and more like a vehicle.
