In play and display notes

The Knight Lancer is designed for front line action and rapid advances. It can surge toward heavy threats, using the shield to blunt attacks and the shock lance to threaten breach after breach. The model supports varied playstyles and can be painted to match your army story, from ceremonial retinues to war-torn battle regalia.

• Fits the themes of Horus Heresy and the 41st Millennium, complementing existing Warhammer Army collections.
• The kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly; Citadel glue and paints are recommended for best results.
• Poseability and options support both display pieces and tactical setups in games.

Creative customization is at the heart of this kit. A wide range of cosmetic options, along with mid-game pose adjustments, lets you craft a Knight that mirrors your battle narrative. It is a premium centerpiece that invites careful painting, careful base work, and thoughtful kitbashing with compatible components from your Warhammer collection. The open hatch, tall stance, and weapon profile contribute to a striking silhouette on the table without guaranteeing particular outcomes in any single engagement.
