Whoever was asking about Cryx: Mobius is a character bloat thrall solo coming out. Rules are up in war room.

Is he really worth it? I guess not.

It's an interesting area. When I jump back into Cryx (in my Skorne kick now), I'm going to try out Skarre2 with 'the bloat trio'. You're looking at 3-6 pie plates (with black spot) that throw out cont corrosion. That's a lot of infantry hate for 7 points.

Shameless wishlisting, Protectorate getting either Hot Shot or Broadsides. GG, thanks for playing.

So they've just put the Sepulcher/Kraken HIPS multi kit up on the main page... Incredibly exciting!

Oh NICE - they are re-working the original colossal to be HIPS. Sweet.

Glad I haven't bought any of them yet.

I wonder if that will bring any sort of price reduction with it.

Can't get behind the excuse of being large volumes of resin and metal if it's all plastic...

If they were cheap enough I can see myself putting together armies of Colossals to put to use in other games as well...

The Convergence Battle Engine was HIPS and I think that was cheaper than the others.

Though this is a dual kit, so we'll see...

It looks like it is 20-30$ cheaper, 109 instead of 130/140.

Well played PP, well played.

Also:

Wow. I have always felt the move to plastic caused PP's models to lose some definition. But, man, those look bad.Some of that painting is just horrible as well.

Still glad to see the Minions get some love and expansion, but these are a miss for me.

I quite like those Farrow. The Gun Boar is a big improvement imho.

Boars are fine IMO just the paint jobs look bad to me.

I really really like the Battle Boar.

The Sepulcher is finally coming to town. Great news.

Multi kit just made the Sepulchre a much more interesting purchase prospect.

Wow, those boars are bad imo . Really glad I've already worked out how I'm having mine converted!!

Yeah... really not impressed by those boar sculpts or paint jobs.

eDeneghra is a nice improvement, even with only an okay paint job (though I have no idea what's supposed to be on her base)

Yup, those are some ugly pigs... is the splatter boar throwing up gang signs? No fur on 90% of the body, strangely scaled arms in odd positions. No bueno.

I also don't like this trend in model companies not paying for good paint jobs on their figures, instead going for some manner of table top standard. Just seems sort of lazy and uninspiring.

Bit of Orgoth ruin.

Apparently it has been confirmed by PP on facebook that all new colossals will be dual kits that make the old one as well and they will all be plastic.

*Edit* it was the director of marketing and branding and it was on their official forums.

it's not about PP not paying for good paint jobs, as much as it is that Matt was a great painter...
this round looks like the new painter is taking over, since Matt has left the PP studio...
Denny looks like one of his paint jobs, but the boar looks like a new painter, for sure...
this is the first time i have seen that particular style on a PP studio mini...
not impressed, and i've never said that about even Matt's quickest paint job...
it's not exactly easy to live up to the standard of a very talented painter...
looks like the end of an era:(...

cheers

The old Kraken was only $125, so only a savings of $15, but that's still nice especially since you're getting the weapons for both versions.

So BOLS have shown images of the Prime Conflux:



Which is a dual kit in hard plastic:

No more poop rock for the convergence colossal! I guess one thing that is a little bothersome to me is that, as a casual observer, I wasn't immediately certain if that first image was the new guy or the old guy. I can see the differences side by side, but man, pretty similar. Dual kit, though, so I guess that's not surprising.

I know what you mean, they're very similar. Looks so much better on the flight stand than the rock.

It bugs me thought that it has feet things but it's floating.

Just let the danged thing stomp around all giant robot proper like!

Tempted to build one if the price is right...

Man, that's exciting! It looks a TON better without the poop-stone, and should be very durable and easy to magnetize the dual kit. Plus lovely, lovely hard plastic!

Promotions for everyone!

Half of the Convergence Vectors have the same hover technology.

Anyway, if the Kraken/Sepulcher kit is any indication, the new dual kits should all be ~$20 cheaper than the old kits(so around $100 MSRP). Which means most online retailers should be in the $90 range for them.

The "feet things" are anti-gravity hover things, like on the 2nd kit of Heavy Vectors they released.

But yes, stompy robits are the best robits.

Guess he finally got his rocks off...


I'm gonna leave now.
