Overview

The SNAA 1/144 BE Thunderstorm Mordred is a model kit from the Beyond Exquisite (BE) Round Table Knights series, the 11th entry in the lineup. Based on the Arthurian traitor knight Mordred, this design features a lean, agile silhouette with large wing-like back elements, a lance, and an ornate shield - setting it apart from the heavier, bulkier knights in the series.

SNAA is a sub-brand of Supernova, a Chinese manufacturer that has built a reputation for delivering full inner frame 1/144 kits with loaded weapon sets at price points that consistently undercut comparable Bandai RG kits. The Round Table Knights line reimagines figures from Arthurian legend as original mecha designs, each with a distinct combat role and visual identity.

Key Features

• 1/144 scale original mecha design - 11th entry in the Round Table Knights BE series
• Agile combat silhouette - Lean frame with prominent wing-like back elements, distinct from the line's heavier knights
• Lance and shield loadout - Visible in gray model images; full weapon list pending official confirmation
• Full inner frame construction - Standard for the Round Table Knights line, enabling strong articulation and posing
• Snap-fit assembly - No cement required; includes water slide decals (standard for the BE line)

Builder Context

The Round Table Knights kits are suited for beginner to intermediate builders. Assembly is snap-fit with no cement required, and the build complexity is comparable to Bandai RG kits. Panel lining and decal application are recommended for the best finished appearance, but painting is optional.

Why Build This Kit

The SNAA Thunderstorm Mordred fills an interesting role in the Round Table Knights lineup as one of the more agile, speed-oriented designs alongside heavier entries like Gawain and Bedivere. At 72 yuan MSRP (roughly the same price point as other standard BE kits), it continues SNAA's strategy of delivering full inner frame 1/144 kits with loaded weapon sets at RG-competitive pricing. The Round Table Knights line has steadily improved with each release - earlier kits like Incise Grace had fit inconsistencies, while more recent entries like Lamorak and Percival have tightened tolerances and improved hand joint strength. Builders who want a mecha shelf that goes beyond Gundam will find this kit fits comfortably alongside other Round Table Knights entries, and the Mordred design's lance-and-shield loadout gives it a distinct display silhouette compared to the sword-heavy kits that dominate the series. This is the 11th kit in a twelve-knight lineup, so collectors following the full series will want to secure it early.
