10Knight Valiant

Where Posing Meets Destruction

This walking fortress of a Dominus-class Knight comes with enough firepower to flatten a small continent—and then some. The kit is absolutely loaded: a conflagration cannon, thundercoil harpoon, carapace-mounted meltaguns, shieldbreaker cannons, and missiles. Basically, if it explodes, it’s on here.

On top of that, it offers tons of posing options and a bunch of faceplates and armor pieces to make your knight truly yours. With all the articulation and detail packed into its titanic frame, building this heavy-metal behemoth feels less like assembling a model and more like constructing a god of war. It’s big, it’s loud, and it’s absurdly fun to build.

9Ushoran, Mortarch Of Delusion

Twisted Glory, Gruesome Details

This towering vampire lord comes with more titles than a pretentious noble at a blood-soaked masquerade, and just his presence alone can drive mortals to madness. Building Ushoran, the monstrous leader of the Flesh-eater Courts, is a delightfully deranged experience. Each step reveals more grotesque glory – from his absurdly detailed nightshriekers' fur cloak to the corroded jewelry hanging off his gnarled frame.

And don’t overlook the chalice at his waist – ghouls go feral just for a sip! Every piece of this kit oozes that twisted Flesh-eater grandeur, and the facial sculpt is so expressive it practically snarls at you. Assembling him feels like diving headfirst into a fever dream ruled by delusion and dark majesty.

The gothic cyberpunk aesthetic makes them stand out from your average meatbag soldiers, offering a build that’s not only deeply customizable but also delightfully bizarre. It’s like assembling a Martian murder-choir.
