We've just been building Mantic's Forge Father Iron Ancestor, and have taken loads of pics and size comparisons which you can see here:

http://gravengames.co.uk/forge-father-iron-ancestor-review/



We like this model and feel like its got quite some conversion potential. It would also make a good stand in for a Warhammer 40k Dreadnought, or may be of use to anyone who remembers the Squats! We've only seen them painted in the blue/silver colour scheme on Mantic's site, has anyone tried anything different? Would love to see painted examples and/or conversions if you have them!

Thanks

Great unboxing/review.

I can't believe the price of this thing. I was expecting it to be 50-100% more than what it is. I guess GW & PP have pushed up what I expect to pay for models of this size.

Balance in pick up games? Two people, each with their own goals for the game, design half a board game on their own without knowing the layout of the board and hope it all works out. Good luck with that. The faster you can find like minded individuals who want the same things from the game as you, the better.

Yes it does look awesome, although I can myself subbing out the hammer thing for some kind of gun instead.

Thanks for the review!

Nice review. One of these days I'll clear out my backlog a bit and I might end up picking one up.
