wow thats huge

Is that a new Stryker sculpt?

It's the battle box resculpt.

I’m really tossing the idea of buying one around. It’s HUGE !!!!
Anyone know the stats on it?
What’s the RNG on those big guns?
If I can only find someone who sells below retail.......

I could buy four more heavy warjacks/warbeasts for £85. It's big and nice but four heavy warjacks/warbeasts will get more table time.

Dang... Love that model! Price may be high, but it certainly looks to be fair for a resin model that size... Have to see about putting that on my slush fund "to buy at some point" list...

Valete,

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of them. I play WM only casually, but I LOVED the concept of the colossals described in Prime MKII.

I do agree on the price though... a bit much. Then again, it's cool, so I'll probably pick one up.

Yea I have to agree. I like the model but I can not justify myself in paying for it.

Thinking further my whole 1750 point early war army will probably cost about £85. £85 is a lot to put down on one model for a game, even for a game I love.

Is that MSRP for MSRP?

Hmmmm......I've got a display case, a cygnar army, and enough money. Yeah, I'll be getting this....at a discount of course.

I have some sourcing to do regarding a few things (not everything is made by the same company) but pretty much. Currently I estimate the army will come to £100.

Waiting for the rules but seeing the actual size of the colossal...I have to say that model changes my entire perspective on the game. If it is fully poseable combined with the ability to use them in non-massive games, I will get one no questions asked.

I've got a pretty big Cygnar army--and I know I'll eventually get one of these just to complete the collection--but I must admit, I really dislike the model. The guns look like a conversion/glued on after thought. I'm much more impressed by the Khador version.

That's where we differ. I'm more likely to use masses of infantry
than four heavy warjacks. I tend to stick to the same one or two
heavies. Heck, I've been using Longriders with Horthol, which
costs MORE than a battle engine and fills less points in an army.

Time to start a new faction...

Mod edit. See my post -malfred-

Quit the comparisons, both sides. Make nice.

Ten dollars more than I posted when the news of these broke. Damn, so close.

Yesterday's privateer insider had the contents of Stormwall box shown. It looks like it should be quite easily posed as wanted.

Looks about as poseable as a warjack, which is to say, not very poseable.

It's a Cygnar model so I'm going to guess redundant anti-infantry ability and pillow fisted melee ability.

I wish they had just lined the models up for that scale shot rather than photoshopping them together because it does t look right trying to gauge base sizes. The colossal looks too big in that shot. The jacks base is just over two inches wide compared to the colassals five, yet in the picture it o ly appears about a third of the size.

Also, I was expecting these two be one fifty, so o e thirty five ain't bad to me. I'm starting Khador in anticipation getting their colossal because it just looks so much more boss than the Cryx o e. It is a harsh price though, a d the FLGS said today they won't keep any on the shelf, you'll have to special order them because of the price.

I'm not feeling it tbh

PP stuff is so hit or miss with me, it would be hard to build an army of models I liked the look of.

It's times like these that I truly appreciate my employee discount.

It's very cool, but pretty expensive. Much better value than the Battle Engines in coolness: price ratio IMO.

This seems like a tiny thing, but why aren't the big shoulder mounted guns two part pieces, so that the barrels are hollow? Once I noticed it I can't stop looking and being disappointed. You know, like when you notice a really attractive woman is slightly cross eyed.

I don't think privateer has ever done a hollow barrel gun. Not sure why.

This^^

I didn't pick up any of the Battle Engines for either of the factions that I play, but I'm almost sure that I'm going to get a Stormwall, even if I doubt he'll get much table time I much prefer to play 35 pts games).

How hollow are you looking for?

I believe the Defender's gun is.

I know the Pounder on the War Wagon is.
