I may be alone here, but I find the new Cryx colossal pretty unexciting, as it's fluff and backstory portray it to be a beast of unimaginable terror, containing a number of malicious horrors against which any foe should run for their lives under any circumstances. I like the sculpt and idea itself, but the posing and general lack of tentacles kind of disappointed me. I want to ask you guys, what would you have liked to see in the Kraken model? I might take on the project of (3D) modelling what you guys would want to see in the Kraken, just to see how cool and monstrous we can make it. What are your all's thoughts?

I like it.

*shrug*

I would have expected more fishy less ticky, but whatever. I'm just glad our colossal actually has guns instead of just "LOOK AT ALL THE FISTS I HAVE TO POUND YOU WITH!".

I suppose it would have been nice to have something that was a bit more like our other jacks instead of something that looks horribly out of place outside of a pirate-themed army. But, a giant crab-jack isn't going to get many complaints from me. Hello Steady colossal, how are you?

I'm definitely underwhelmed. I'm slightly distressed at the lack of tentacles on a "Kraken".

Quite honestly its not good, acceptable yes but its more battle engine than colossol. While the wraith is more colossol than battle engine!

Are you distressed that it's significantly larger than a "Leviathan" too?

Aquatic names on aquatic Jacks have nothing to do with their appearance in Cryx.

Besides, we don't know that this isn't what a Caen kraken looks like. Don't be applying your Terra-centric standards of beauty to my dragon worshiping undead pirates!
