On the 1st pic on FW it absolutely does not look like a super-heavy. It just looks scaled big. In fact, at first glance I though it to be some kind of a new Rapier Twin-Autocannon Destroyer.

reminds me of my Squat Mole Moratr crews sitting up on the bookcase shelf behind me........ahhh, the Squat Armies. now THOSE were the days!!!!

OK, I'll take a wild stab at translating this, although I left my Super Secret Translation and Decoder ring at home....I'll have to rely on the Adeptus Languisticus for some help.......

Playing 40k is just fun because of the broken logic they use. And dont forget, they are in an era of religion above science. The Hades Breaching Drill makes some sense in trench warfare, you drill your way through no-man's land and walk through a trench. In doing this you don't get shot to pieces like you would walking exposed over no-man's land toward the enemy. This machine would also be quite useful in making static trenches instead of digging them by hand. Ahhhh, the useful manual labor saving devices the Adeptus Mechanicum is able to create to ease the burden of the Imperial Army Troopers is quite amazing.

Ok, the last part I added, but I felt like I was channeling the original author's thought process towards the end there.

Damn, those are so wicked.

Amazingly, I think the Minotaur actually takes the baroque influences of 40k too far. As another poster said, the side pivot point would make a great basis for a chaos star. However, it looks more like a building than a war machine.

The ramp is kind of neat, though. The forward engine module or whatever looks like it should be able to separate from the main hull like the Bat Pod from Dark Night or something.

The Mole Launcher is kind of near.

The Breaching Drill works, although I wish it wasn't quite so squarish. The look like they might have based it on the real big drilling machines that have been made. Even adding an obvious crew compartment would be a nice touch.

I have to agree that Forgeworld needs to spend more time on the xenos. Even scenery pieces would presumably be a relatively easy product (bunker-equivalents for each race could be simple 2 or 3 piece models with perhaps a few detail bits) and would be useful to a lot of people.

That drill is extra cool, and it would be a to scratch-build. (Hint Hint...)
