Warhammer – Ambitious Builds for Experienced Hobbyists
Warhammer enthusiasts know that certain models are more than miniatures—they’re statement pieces. These multi-part plastic kits demand patience, skill, and creativity, making them ideal for hobbyists looking to challenge themselves.
Imperial Knights: The Questoris-Class Titan
The Knight Preceptor (£95.95, down from £110.00) is a flagship model for Imperial Knights, a faction of towering mechanical walkers piloted by noble houses in Warhammer 40,000. This kit builds a super-heavy walker armed with a las-impulsor and Preceptor multi-laser, designed to lead Armiger-class knights into battle. Its lore as a beacon of the Code Chivalric (honourable close-range combat) makes it a thematic choice for players valuing narrative depth.
- Build Flexibility: The kit can be assembled as six other Questoris variants, including the Crusader (long-range firepower) or Gallant (melee-focused), or even a Chaos Knight Despoiler.
- Hobbyist Appeal: With over 250 components, custom armor plating, and a transfer sheet for heraldry, this is a project meant for display as much as gameplay. Pair it with Armiger-class kits (£49.95) to create a lance of smaller knights, reinforcing army synergy.
Chaos’s Monstrous Leaders
For Chaos players, two kits stand out:
- Daemon Prince(£46.95): A versatile HQ choice for Chaos Space Marines or Daemons in Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar. Once a mortal champion, this ascended warlord can be customised with wings, a trophy rack, or Chaos God-specific heads (Khorne’s horns, Nurgle’s rot). Its cross-game compatibility makes it a practical investment and a great painting project.
- Great Unclean One(£86.00): A centrepiece for Nurgle Daemon armies, this hulking daemon excels in both melee and magic. Build it with a doomsday bell to summon reinforcements or a plague flail for area attacks. The included Nurglings add playful detail, perfect for painters experimenting with textures like rotting flesh and rust.
Why These Kits?
Experienced hobbyists often seek projects that offer both technical assembly and narrative potential. These large-scale models provide:
- Display Value: Intricate details like the Imperial Knight’s riveted armor or the Great Unclean One’s exposed intestines reward careful painting.
- Army Roles: The Knight Preceptor supports smaller knights with “Knightly Teachings” abilities, while the Daemon Prince is a fast-moving beatstick.
