Thanks - Nice!

Kind of reminiscent of a Knight or a Titan, depending on size.

I'm guessing Knight-sized though?

It's probably fine with the large parts being resin.

just going to go out on and say it... i like it.

So when do they "release the Kraken"?!?

I just wanted to be the first to say that...

Also the tentacles have uses as conversion fodder on Ad-mech models and even could be useful on kans, deff dreads or a meka-dread.

Good, it's not just me. It's not a great match but it reminds me of this guy.

I don't get the hate for this model. It seems super dynamic and has lots of interesting detail. The only thing i would add is a second cannon next to the other one solely for symmetry.

My guess is model + price tag takes something people are only okay with
into the realm of hatred.

I mostly like the Kraken, except for the back... it looks pretty ridiculous. Nothing a bit of modelling putty won't fix.

I do think the name does not fit the model. Or perhaps the model doesn't fit the name. It doesn't scream "Kraken" to me. Doesn't even whisper it.

Well, the Leviathan isn't particularly large(or sea monstery), but I don't see people complaining about that. It's simply part of the naming convention Cryx does with their Amphibious Jacks.

I wonder what a suitable alternative would be?

Still, a monster of that size with those two tentacles alone could do what
the legendary krakens did, which is fight a whale and/or pull down a ship.

I'm a fan. I actually hated it at first, but after hearing "Runs on Meat", much more interesting.

The whole tick/flea look was off putting at first, but seeing as it is the oldest Generation 2 Collosal in the IK, I could see how it doesn't resemble modern jacks.

Aesthetically, more tentacles could be better. Gameplay = more attacks, less balance. I see the reasoning behind it.

No wargames these days, more DM/Painting.

I paint things occasionally. Some things you may even like!
