Hmm... Hyperion is the first Ret colossal, now Helios? This is really begging for a Borderlands style Retribution army.

Co Op board game?

What is this you speak of?

I demand pictures (that show up at work, of course)!

I am intrigured...

I think they're talking about this:

If you can't access Privateer Press, i can post a few pics.

No one mentioned this

No, not that.

It's a miniatures "dungeon crawler" style, full co-op game called "The Undercity". It was announced in their keynote today at Templecon. Fall 2015 release.

We are talking about this:

New Colossals! They are just like additional parts on the other ones right? That's what they look like.

While the actual kits will probably use a lot of the same parts, they have been confirmed to be separate kits.

Yeah sorry, bad wording on my part. I guessed they were new kits, but the main part of the Colossals are the same, which was pretty much confirmed when I just watched the video and it referenced how jacks are built on certain chassis. So these are like new Colossals on the same chassis as the old ones?

Yup.

It's just like the heavy jack variants. Same chassis, new weapons loadout. I'm hoping they'll be in the new hard plastic too but we shall see.

I'm really curious about this board game, and how accessible it's going to be.

Is it going to be a drag- out tactical batter like Descent 1.0?

Will it be a table full of cards and dice like Brimstone?

Are we going to get bogged down in rule minutiae?

Persistent characters? Single piece figures? Prebuilt? Rules for using other Warmahorde figures?

I might have to grab that Iron Kingdoms box set to get the gator with the gun as a hero.

I'm gonna guess no, if they're just different guns and a couple of other parts from the last ones.

Yeah, they'll almost certainly be Resin/Metal hybrids. Especially since we've already seen the Cryx one int he video(but people were probably paying more attention to Ruin's cameo)

I did notice Ruin haha. He looks awesome even from the back.

I'd didn't see Mr Goatman Snr. Apologies if I missed it. Too much rum.

There is a photo with the new Ruin warjack model in the foreground at 3:27 of the Colossals video. Is that the first picture we have of the finished and painted model?

Possibly the first we're seeing of him, but they might have had other photos at Templecon for general viewing.

The new Colossals are interesting - but I don't want to see PP follow GW's footsteps in "Every army needs 5 giant centerpiece units."

Also disappointing - they confirmed no new Hordes army anytime soon. Like everyone was expecting.

The self contained board game I'll be all over if the quality of the minis is good. I've heard the Level 7 ones are pretty rough.

Could still be in hard plastic. The Convergence battle engine is hard plastic as are the new warjack kits. Just depends on how hard it would be to do them in plastic as opposed to resin and metal. I don't mind the resin and metal hybrids as they're still easier to work with than the pvc plastic. Just curious what material they'll be.

I was 'meh' about the old Convergence colossal, but I love this new one.l

It's more that they've already released the majority of the model in resin/ metal. Unless they're redoing the old ones in the new material too, there's no reason to believe these are going to be since it's just some new parts for an existing sculpt.

I hope the Victor has jump jets...

The gun obviously has a lot of recoil mechanisms in it already, but the Colossal likely would brace itself right before it fires. It wouldn't take more than a second.

Plus, yknow.

They're optional, although i am quite fond of the longtom autocannons setup

Still waiting for an Atlas.
