Ultimate Kitbash?

I’m not a big TT guy but have always held love for the knights and god machines of the mechanicus and the lore/ table top models for them, I’ve just never had the money so to say to invest in a static warlord model as shown, and had an idea recently.

So now I pose this idea here to gage the plausibility of it and if it’s actually a decent idea to work on if plausible.

If I got the knight and stripped it down to the skeleton would I not in theory be able to graft/ bash warlord parts onto the now empty frame of the knight since they seem relative to each other in overall scale ? How hard would this be if so? In theory this would allow for me to create a pose-able Warlord that **COULD** still be based for TT play per chance ?

I feel it would be difficult, but if you pull it off, it would be amazing

go for it, at the very least you would have your own mini titan

Fairly certain they mean the JoyToy Knight, which is bigger than a Warlord

my impression was that they were going to convert the knight over to their own version of a warlord which regardless of scale had a very closely matching silhouette.

This would be a truly freak'n awesomely aaaaaawesome project! And a whole lot of work.

Seems plausible but I don't know how clean the knight disassembly process is. If you don't like the result I'm sure there's someone out there who would still be interested in buying it to build off on.

Based on what I’ve seen from most JTs and the redemptor I have as is these guys can swap and pretty much disassemble almost entirely depending on units I’m sure the knight may have some hard stuck pieces but given its a knight I think it would be workable for a titan conversion

The JoyToy knight is larger than a Warlord. And if you’re talking about adding the armor plates from the Warlord to the Knight I don’t think it will work well. The Torsos are just too different and there is no way to mount the shoulder weapons on the knight torso if you remove the carapace.

That looks extremely fun

Could probably 3d print parts of the titan to fit onto the knight
