Nah, he does it with math. He simply finds where the slope = 0, and goes there.

Yeah, don't care for the giant elephant legs. It doesn't look like he'd be able to walk up a hill.

And we shall defeat this upstart cult with our ultimate secret weapon, stairs.

Surprised to not seen this posted yet from last weeks Insider:


Though I think she can handle stairs....

Apologies if already posted.

Thanks for that pic, silent! It hadn't made it in here.

*Groan*

Nah, Axis could handle stairs, they've got a flat surface to set his feet on, but with no ankles and those long legs, he wouldn't be able to stand on a slant. Thus no hills.

He'll just hammer them flat

I'm having flashbacks to raiding Ulduar on WoW...

haha... true .... true.. I think it's the colour sheme.

Yeah it's pretty much guaranteed that I'm going to be copying some Ulduar colour schemes for my Convergence stuff. Now whether that is the Iron Dwarf style (silver + blue) or Mimiron style (tin bitz + turquoise/green ) will have to wait.

New pic and article: http://privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/insider-5-15-13

Wow... that art rocks! Will be interesting to see if they can pull it off in model form, though.

I was happier with the old more steampunk art...

i'm loving the art more than the minis, but i will definitely be painting an Iron Mother if they get anywhere close to the concept...
Axis may make it onto the painting table, as well...

thanks for keeping us up to date...

cheers

Stats extracted from article on Father Lucant:

MAT: 6
Focus: 7

Field Marshal [Shield Guard] (Once per round friendly within 2" hit with ranged, this model can be hit instead)

Feat: [Clockwork Reinforcement]: All models gain +4 ARM and automatically pass repair checks.

Spells: (sketchy info)
Purification: a purging spell of some sort to get rid of upkeeps and continuous effects on army
Deceleration: protection against ranged attacks for entire force (assume control area)
Positive Charge: a melee buffer spell for attack and damage

Prime Axiom art (click on the image to view a larger version in the Dakka gallery):

Translation of runes is as follows:
Once per turn during this model's activation you can place one servitor solo into play within two inches of this model.

I was hoping for giant four buzzsaw arms on the colossal but this works just fine.

The footing seems a bit impractical because on anything other than soft ground it'll be sliding around like a spider trying to climb out of a bathtub.

That's a problem with pretty much any giant robot design.

The thing is - pretty much anything a 50 ton giant robot steps on will wind up as soft, flat ground ...

I still can't make up my mind about Cyriss.

I can't tell what I'm looking at half the time. It's just a jumble of cogs and pistons and blades, with the random limbs jutting out here and there.

Iron Mother and Axis I can get behind... the troops are going to be a tough sell for me.

Lucant could be neat. He reminds me of that weird clockwork contraption that was in the last Pathfinder Battles set, the Clockwork Reliquary (except without the skeleton in the middle of him).

I'll probably end up with a few solos and casters here and there.

Yeah, the wait for release gave me time to reach that perspective, too... I do love the Prime Axiom art, though.

Doesn't need to worry about walking on soft ground with those legs as it actually hovers, not walks. Check the little rocky flight stand thing there in the art under the center of the body.

I love the servitors... but any servitor that's not a floating skull or cherub is going to get my approval these days

Yep, this is about how I feel...

Ooh la la, I like that guy quite a bit!

I agree, but since I love the squire it was kind of a given that I'd like the servitors as well so long as they followed similar aesthetics (which they really did, they don't have legs but they are quite similar, the attunement one at least)

And these ones don't look like they'll break because there is only a thin piece of plastic holding them in place.

Still lots of detail to add to the model.

On Saturday and Sunday, I think it was Nate Scott that was cleaning the printing edges off of the 2nd heavy Vector box (which is going to look very cool on its flying stand).

Wow... I really like the angels... the Colossal is fantastic and there making a battle engine... this is great so far, really impressed by all of it tbh

damn those angels. those where the models I was waiting for.

I'm not really feeling the battle engine (I reminds me of those alien factory thing from Justice League: Secret Origins), but everything else looks great.

It's a giant laser wrecking ball.

I think alien factory is just what the doctor ordered.
