The Great Vortex Knightmech – Walking War Engine with Interchangeable Weapons

A towering, armour-plated walker built for the grimdark battlefields of the far future. The Great Vortex Knightmech by DakkaDakka stands about 113 mm tall (60 mm wide, 71 mm deep) and is scaled for heroic 28/32 mm armies, so it looms over infantry like a true war engine. Under its sweeping riveted carapace sits a skull-faced cockpit with glowing eyes, twin exhaust stacks, a heraldic tabard, clawed piston feet and exposed hydraulic joints.

This is a full 47-part kit, and you choose how to arm it. Every weapon option below is printed and included, so you can build your favourite loadout or swap between them.

Weapon Options – All Included

• Arm weapons (left and right versions of each): drum-fed rotary gatling cannon, twin-barrel autocannon, heat-lance spear (melta lance with spear blade), chain-driven circular saw, and a massive war sword
• Close-combat claw: a multi-part crushing claw with separate fingers and joint
• Carapace weapons: heavy stubber, heat cannon and a missile pod
• Armour options: 3 face plates, 3 shoulder shields, 2 back shields, 2 waist shields (long tabard or short plate), plus chest and side shields

Our turntable shows the loadout from the designer's main picture: rotary gatling cannon on the right arm and the crushing claw on the left, with the long tabard.

Print Quality

Layer height determines detail and finish: lower microns mean thinner layers for smoother surfaces and finer details, while higher microns balance speed, strength, and cost while maintaining excellent quality for gameplay.

• Tabletop Quality (50 microns) – Ideal for durable, high-resolution 3D resin prints perfect for wargaming and RPGs. Offers sharp details, robust flexibility, and minimal visible layers—great for minis that see real table action without fragility.
• Display Quality (30 microns) – Our finest layer height for the smoothest surfaces and sharpest detail, ideal for showcase painting and display pieces.
