Favorite looking? Favorite rules?

...yes...

Favourite model. It's that archangel. It just looks awesome.

I voted Archangel for model, but if I had to go for Rules it would be between Mammoth and Stormwall.

Not well versed on the rules but the archangel makes me want to play everblight on sexy ness alone!

I own Conquest and love him.

Purely from looks and coolness its still all about the Mountain King for me.

I kinda feel bad for the other really cool looking collosal/gargantuans after they released the gorgeous Archangel.

I'm still sad minions didn't get one. But I gotta go with mammoth.

Favorite Colossal: Stormwall.

Favorite Gargantuan: Archangel.

The Galleon. It's just so deliciously steampunky.

I actually like Hyperion most as something to see played on the table and I also think it's one of the better looking Retribution models. Though overall, I think the question is vague enough it is hard to pin down, since the Archangel on a sheer sculpt point is pretty damned awe-inspiring.

And stuff.

I am very much excited for a Galleon, talk about a box of tools for mercs! And I love the motif o being built from what's around; i'm thinking of buying one, then scratching-up another, if I ever get the funds and willpower.
In all fairness, the Mammoth is one of the cooler models (although I think it totally should have been a T-Rex), and the arch-angel looks closest to a giant dragon that WarmaHordes is probably going to get. Shame about the rules on that, though.

I am partial to the Conquest because Gators don't have one yet.

Archangel has a great model, but mammoth's rules will see it hit the table the most. Assuming rumors are true, its probably the second best one behind Stormwall.

Gotta go with the Archangel. That thing is so damn pretty.

I'm holding off on the rumors.

Colossal: Judicator

Gargantuan: Archangel


The Archangel is sick looking, although its definitly going to be a B*$& to carry around. Thing's fething huge.

While Angelius has an awesome sculpt I find it a bit obvious/dull. I mean, giant dragon on a rock? really? Hordes has made me used to a way less canonical take on fantasy in the past (and sharks ehm, dragons are one of the more representative). So, I'll vote for Skorne's one. Great piece.

On Warmachine side there are plenty of great sculpts, Galleon is awesome, and both Stormwall and Conquest are great.

In terms of looks the Judicator & Archangel.
In terms of rules, probably Stormwall & Mammoth.

In terms of "Just pick one": Judicator. Hey it's my factions colossal, it's damn handsome and it works well with my favorite casters even if isn't a top-tier powerhouse in the majority of lists.

I will admit the Archangel's sculpt is pretty predictable and cliche, but dang if the model isn't impressive. Its fething huge!

I voted for Arch Angel because the model is beautiful and I <3 Dragons!

Rules wise, I'd have to say it goes to Stormwall simply because of what it brings to its faction.

Biased vote for my faction, I love how my Hyperion came out.

I like the Legion Archangel though for a hordes model...

I'm voting for the one that made me want to play Hordes and got me to buy a warpack...

The Mountain King

No one likes Cryx, not even Cryx players.

The problem with the Kraken model-wise is they got the Battle engine and collosal models mixed up.

Rules-wise I just don't think it brings alot of new stuff to Cryx or fills an obvious need or hole. It is not bad, just not special.

The stormwall is basically 4 jacks rolled into one. It gives shooting, screening and melee options that you otherwise just cannot buy for the points. And has some synergy with alot of our units and casters. And with a caster and bond like eHaley it is nuts. And things like the stormpod seem like just a cool little addon, but have alot of potential for some major effects.

Your post is well reasoned and thoughtful, therefore I must agree with darefsky.

Bring out the Mountian King

They already did.
