Joytoy is still going strong with 40k as always and this time we got literally one of their biggest product release yet! Dedicated for the Anti-Daemon Space Marines Chapter; Grey Knights, Joytoy is releasing the infamous Nemesis Dreadknight which stands 42 cm tall in 1/18 scale! I think this is one of their tallest product release so far and this thing will be released in October 2023 and sold for around $350 for the Dreadknight unit only or 400$ with the Grey Knight Space Marine included to wield this gigantic war machine. The higher than usual price tag for Joytoy 40k will probably explain the size of this thing.
Grey Knights are Space Marine Chapters dedicated to fight Chaos Daemon threats and gifted with special powers to face against one of the biggest threat towards Humanity. However no matter gifted they are, Regular Grey Knights Space Marines will even face difficulty against threats like Chaos Greater Daemons, which is why Nemesis Dreadknight brought into the fray when Grey Knights need to fight against Monstrous creatures like Bloodthirsters. Wielded by some of the best from the Chapter and armed with Gatling Psilencer along with enormous Nemesis Greatsword, Nemesis Greyknights sure will able to smite the foes of Emperor to impunity.
To be honest from its inception, Nemesis Dreadknight draws negative attention from 40k fans due to its Controversial design which literally looks like a glorified babycarrier. While it can be argued that the flawed design is derived from the Aliens series Power Loader, the adaptation is just way too flawed for the 40k Lore. Considering the vulnerable design will just put the wielders into unnecessary danger against some of the 40k's deadliest threats. If there are any 3rd party interested to make some 1/18 Dreadknight Conversion kit which will make it look like the picture below, there will be demands from the collector.
