Well, in the HH books, there is specific reference made to a drop pod for Emperor Class Titans... And I believe there are also landing barges that are used to deploy multiple Titans. Indeed there is. The Titans stand inside giant dropships, like huge cylinders. They land and the titans walk out.

I just downloaded photos of the Knight sprues from GW's website, and the legs appear to be made up of two halves running from the hip down to the ankle, but it looks like there is potential to cut the knee joints so as to provide some variation in posing...

The following was in the latest White Dwarf: 01001111 01101101 01101110 01101001 01110011 01110011 01101001 01100001 01101000 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01110000 01110010 01100001 01101001 01110011 01100101 01100100 00100001 Nice.

okay.. liking the Errant version - bit more sinister. Still unsure about the proportions of the thing, but the 360 helps reveal their better aspects. for those less... erm... mechanicus; use this link: www.convertbinary.com/

Yes, I actually typed the binary code, reading it out of White Dwarf, into a convertor to see what the message was. Totally worth it.

Lifted from Faeit:
I am thinking that a knight could be a good addition to my ABG list, giving solid scoring and counter assault.

I doubt the codex will be released first, we will get a whole load of models and then the codex so people buy the new models before they read if the stats and rules are any good for said models, its what I would do if I were GW

I'm scared......
The stuff I'm seeing with 6th ed codexes, rules, expansions, etc are starting to grate at me. I'm worried of what will come of the Guard, or should I say Astra Militarium?

I'm sure if you stand within 12 feet of Trooper you can benefit from his Aura of Command. Besides whats the worst that could happen? *Thinks gk dreadknight..* Actually I'm looking forward to the big apc we're getting. It might be Malcador chassis based

Which epic models fit the bill as large transport?

Even though I was never into Epic there was a whole load of vehicles that never made the transition but they were mostly in the IG Siege Army list. I'm sure they were called Ragnaroks and I think Hendrik made some scratchbuilt versions, if I recall correctly.
The way all kits are dual/ multi build these days it'll be interesting to see what equipment options the tank/ apc gets.. If it has a transport capacity of 20 just to lug big ogryn squads/ combined squads then that would really open up our mechanised options.

The Taurox Prime has to be the ugliest thing ever. It makes the Storm Raven look like Salma Hayek. Edit : Having had a second look at the pic of the Taurox Prime I can officially say :

Yeah, that vehicle... *Death Star Detention Center Guard Officer voice* "Thing," is the derpiest looking piece of crap since the Space Guppy to have been pooped out by the design team. Do. Not. Want.

Weren't the Ragnaroks used durign Kriegs civil war? you can easily make it by buying a KV-1/2 tank. store.warlordgames.com/collections/soviet-army/products/kv-2-heavy-tankslap on some armoured skirts and 2 stubber barrels at the front and bam you got a ragnarok tank

Oh no. You want two. One for each leg of a knight,for a 'special' conversion; just so that it looks like its rollerskating with square wheels Edit - Yeah, that's the type of tank I meant, Vegna. Militarum Tempestus seems like a sub-faction codex to me, as it is online only and is short at 72 pages. Also, Tempestus is only one of the Segmentums, so unlikely to be a name covering the whole Guard. I was just reading this somewhere else, but 'Tempestus' is also 'storm', so it could mean a stormtrooper specialist codex.

I'm reserving judgement until I see proper pictures. GW releases are notorious for having horrible initial pictures, which poorly represent the actual product. It looks stupid now but may not be so bad. I hope.

Just looking at the price for the Taurox, it's priced the same as the Chimera (locally)
That to me would indicate its not that big
Are we looking at a replacement for the Chimera? or will we be getting more dedicated transports?
Whatever the answer, it looks horrendous! NOT a fan, and thats coming from someone who doesn't mind the Stormraven!

Interessant. So the new Stormies have berets like the original ones did...
And that vehicle is full of derp and fail... Still. Do. Not. Want. It looks like a 4-year old's attempt at scratch building an Sd.Kfz. 251.
