Review - Questoris Pattern Knight kit #1 from Games Workshop
The armour panels are separate, so you have some freedom with adding or changing them. You can also paint them separately, before gluing them on.
When you glue the model on the base included in the set, make sure to have the central peg on the pelvis section above the center of the base. This will make the model more stable and balanced.
The arms of the model are created in a way that they are exchangable. You just need to rotate them to lock them in.
Before assembly, I recommend you to read the information about the available builds for the Questoris knights. That way you can decide if you'll need to get further sprues, or if you'll need to magnetise your model.
Assembly
Before you glue the cockpit door and the top carapace in place, you need to decide whether you'd like to add the cockpit detail later. For that case, you could magnetise the top carapace, or just use superglue instead of polystyrene cement, so you can pry it off easier.
Magnetising
Arms: You can magnetise the shoulders, but it's not necessary, as there is a locking mechanism allowing you to swap arms. You can also magnetise the joint that allows you to turn the arms. While you won't need it with the options in this kit, it will allow you to add more weapons if you acquire them.
Cannons: Both cannons use the same base for the weapon, so you'll need to add magnets or telescoping tubing to the barrel parts of the cannons. As later weapon builds use the same shield part, telescoping tubing is recommended, as it will hold the parts of the weapons together easier. Otherwise you'd need to magnetise both sides of the shield.
There is a small piece on the end of the base that is different for the two weapons, but it's not very visible, so you can just choose one. I recommend to include the piece for the thermal cannon, as the same piece will be also used for the las-impulsor, if you get the Preceptor sprue.
For the ammo box, you can either choose one, and just change the barrels, or you add a magnet to the side of the base, to be able to swap the ammo boxes.
You can either glue the ammo of the heavy stubber to the barrel of the battle cannon, or you can also magnetise that.
Hull mounted heavy stubber: While in this kit you don't have any more options, it's still recommended to make the heavy stubber removable. If you get a Warden sprue, you'll be able to add a meltagun instead. If you get the Preceptor sprue, you can add a multi-laser.
Top mounted weapons: While you might leave magnetising the top for later, when you get the rocket launchers or the autocannon with a Warden sprue, if you don't want to hassle with that after it was already painted, you could just add a magnet now. Instead of magnetising the model, you can also use telescoping tubing.
