Adeptus Mechanicus - Blight Wheel Prometheus Knight Titan build

Today has been my first real day off since the Christmas holiday, and I thought I'd get some build time in! A couple days ago a package arrived from Blight Wheel Miniatures bearing their new Prometheus Knight Titan, and I spent some time getting everything trimmed, cleaned up and washed off.


I've been a long time fan of BigDaddy's work, and own several of his previous iterations of Knight Titans, and I have to say that they just keep getting better. This new kit has tons of great detail and is an incredibly crisp and detailed cast.


I started off by gluing up a few CDs to make a base, and built up the legs and torso. The kit allows for a great range of motion and posability, which I really appreciated. The kit also comes with a great looking power fist and thermic cannon, which I magnetized to allow for easier storage and potential swapping of weapon options in the future.



The whole kit went together like a dream, and it really has a sense of weight and purpose. Definitely looking forward to getting stuck in painting it!

  4. That's a cool looking model. I went tho their website, but they're sold out of it. How much did it cost?

  5. Could you post a pic comparing this one to his earlier ones? I own two, and unfortunately he stopped making those before I could buy the other three I wanted. I'd like to see how the size differs.

  8. Thanks very much everyone! I got stuck in with the base color last night and will take a couple more pics in progress with the other knights for scale today. From what I understand they only made a few for sale on the website and the rest they took to Salute, but I would imagine any unsold stock will make it to the site, and I understand they'll be casting more in the future. I'll tell you, I'm certainly planning on picking up two or three more!

  9. How tall is it compared to something like a dreadknight or riptide?

  10. It stands just shy of 7" tall at the top of the carapace, and just shy of 8" to the top of the engine stacks. That's a 120mm base it's standing on, so it's pretty big! None of my regular opponents run Tau or GK so unfortunately I don't have access to either for a comparative pic...

  11. Gotcha. Sounds like it's midway between a warhound and a dreadknight then.
