Pulled from the new Sneak Peek video on GW's site, three new variants:    Same basic chassis, legs and carapace - updates seem to include options for: - Power fist ccw
- New ranged weapon, looks like it could be a gatling autocannon of some type
- Carapace mounted missile launcher
- Secondary carapace mount, could be another missile launcher type, or special wargear of some kind to boost ion shields, repair hull points, etc. Who knows?
Apparently they're just new sprues added to the current kit, and it'll be ~$20 more expensive moving forward. But, you can build any of 5 knight variants from the single kit, so there's that.

Yup, looks that way - going from 75 GBP to 85GBP, which should be right around the $160 US price point. Woof.
At least you only need 5 of them and the codex to play 1850....

I also saw that there's a new Knights codex that replaces the old one. I use the term 'old' loosely as that book is barely a year old. Now I don't want to [continue to] complain or anything, but that's kinda lame.

"Man GW sucks, they take forever to release new stuff" - everyone in the world in 2012
"OMG I can't believe GW thinks they can trick us into buying new stuff every year" - everyone in the world in 2014/15
This was never a cheap hobby, frankly, and you only need to put into it what you want to. Want to play knights this year? Awesome, here's 3 new variants and a bunch of cool accessories, and reworked rules with awesome artwork and new maelstrom objectives to sync with 7th.
I have no sympathy for the people that spent all their money on "Super Heavies: the Army List", and defend the Adamantium Lance as a viable and fluffy army choice, then complain about having to spend $50 to keep it current.

Guys these knights are way op, we should just use the old Dex.
I kid.
I still think they should be a proper low, but shrug. New mini titans will at least be gorgeous, I'm sure.

This is so spot on.

According to Dakkadakka, the fist has the ability to throw a vehicle or unit at something else after it has killed it. So that's pretty hilarious and now I need to sell my kidney to get another one.

So it seems it's a 12 inch shooting attack with a large blast template. The strength is equal to either the toughness of the creature or half the front armor value of the vehicle (rounded up).
