Canis Rex Pricing Spotted in the Latest WD Pics
Knight-Preceptor Canis Rex looks like it’ll be up for pre-order on September 15th. It’ll become available after September 22nd, and cost $160 in the U.S.
The Questor-class Knights are going for $140-$157 respectively and the Dominus-Class are $170.
Making your Own Preceptor-Class Knight
If you have a magnetized Knight already and don’t feel like shelling out $160 dollars, you can always make your own Preceptor. The Preceptor uses the standard Questor body and gauntlet. The only major difference is the gun on the model.
Get yours from Shapeways.
It’s odd that a Knight model is coming out months after their codex, but not un unprecedented compared to the Death Guard release last year.
We don’t know if the Knight will be even more powerful than the others when you start to pile on the stratagems from the book or not. However, one thing is for sure. Knights have been dominating the meta here lately and we are probably about to start seeing Preceptors march on the tabletop as well.
What do you think about the previews for Canis Rex? Will you be picking one up or making a custom model?
