JOYTOY’s Massive New 40K Imperial Knight Is Next-Level Awesome

joytoy-knight-art-render-with-effects-imperial-knight-hor-wal2

You won’t believe just how big the new JOYTOY 40k Imperial Knight Paladin is, and the TWO versions of the action figure that are on the way!

JOYTOY is already known for its incredible Warhammer 40K action figures, but this Imperial Knight takes things to a whole new level. Their Dreadknight figure stands at an impressive 16.5 inches, but the Imperial Knight dwarfs it, standing over 20 inches tall! Sure, it’s not going to be cheap (thankfully, there’s a five-payment plan), but if you’re into Imperial Knights, this is something you don’t want to miss.

The Details You Need to Know

JOYTOY teased this beast Twitter/ X in December 2023, and it’s set to release now in May 2025. Here’s what makes it so special:

  • Height: 53cm (that’s 21 inches!)
  • Articulation: 41 points of movement for posing galore
  • Cockpit: Includes a 1:18 scale pilot with a detailed cockpit

They’re really going all out with the design. It’s well painted, the figure looks solid, and it’s scaled perfectly next to JOYTOY’s other figures (which barely reach the Knight’s knees!). Plus, there’s a new weapon loadout we haven’t seen before, so you’ll have two distinct versions to choose from.

What makes the JOYTOY Imperial Knight Paladin particularly exciting is its potential as a display piece or even a tabletop addition. While its size and detail make it better suited for display, it’s hard not to imagine moving it across the battlefield as a proxy for a Warlord Titan

Standing over 20 inches tall, the JOYTOY Imperial Knight Paladin isn’t just a model; it’s a statement. Its 1:18 scale towers over JOYTOY’s regular Warhammer figures, which don’t even reach the knee joints of this giant. The inclusion of a 4.3-inch pilot figure adds even more realism, fitting snugly into a detailed cockpit complete with a seat and controls. For anyone who’s ever imagined the raw power of the Imperial Knights brought to life, this figure delivers.

 

How Does the JOYTOY Imperial Knight Paladin Compare to the Warhound Titan?

titan sizes forge world 40k warlordWhen it comes to size, the JOYTOY Imperial Knight Paladin holds its ground alongside Forge World’s Warhound Titan, as both stand an impressive 21 inches tall. However, their roles and appeal differ significantly.

The Warhound Titan, priced around $670 just for the body, is a fully playable model designed for use in Warhammer 40k games. Its massive scale on the tabletop makes it a tactical centerpiece, bringing devastating firepower and unmatched presence to the battlefield. Players who love the challenge of assembling and painting Forge World kits often flock to this iconic machine for its sheer gameplay potential.

On the other hand, the JOYTOY Imperial Knight Paladin is more of a display powerhouse. With 41 points of articulation, upgraded ABS and PVC construction, and a crisp, ready-to-show paint job, it’s designed to be admired straight out of the box. While not intended for formal tabletop play, it’s hard not to imagine it standing as an impressive proxy or towering over gaming boards as an ornamental piece.

The paintwork is crisp and vibrant, with intricate designs that reflect the heraldry of House Terryn, one of the most iconic Knightly Houses in the Imperium. These Knights look great from any angle, and they look fairly sturdy with the stand.

The cockpit is another standout feature. Though glimpsed briefly in promotional images, it’s clear that JoyToy has gone above and beyond to make the interior feel just as immersive as the exterior. With its seat, control panels, and visible mechanisms, it’s easy to imagine the pilot guiding the massive machine into battle.

Why It’s a Big Deal

This isn’t just an action figure—it’s practically a collector’s piece. The attention to detail, from the sturdy build to the articulated arms and cockpit, shows JOYTOY’s commitment to quality. Imagine using this as a stand-in for a Forge World Warlord Titan on your Warhammer 40K tabletop!

We’re not sure how many of these will be made, but we expected a long pre-order period to gauge demand. If you’re a fan, you’ll want to lock one down as soon as possible. From Henry Cavill’s Amazon series news to the Death Korps of Krieg and Eldar getting new resculpts, 2025 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for Warhammer fans!
