New: Thanatar siege-automata

[energongoodie]

I love this model!

The Thanatar is a heavy Siege-automata, designed as a mobile artillery platform rather than a general battle unit. It is armed with a Hellex pattern plasma mortar, a terrifying weapon able to launch dense spheres of blazing plasma on arcing trajectories over defensive barriers and into the heart of enemy fortifications, incinerating anything in their blast radius with a liquid tide of sun-hot fire.

The Thanatar’s frame, built to accommodate the huge weapon and the power systems and fuel reserves required to supply it, is considerably larger than even the hulking Castellax. Its frame is also heavily reinforced, both to withstand the stresses of firing its principal weapon and protect it from incoming attacks. This factor, alongside the use of an atomantic shielding array, make Thanatars notoriously durable. Such is their resilience that Thanatars are beyond the ability of most small arms, no matter how advanced, to harm.

The Thanatar Seige-automata is a complete multi-part resin kit, designed by Will Hayes. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 30th June.

That is made of win-sauce

[Mr Mystery]

Yes please Santa! I'll have one hundred and eleventy twelve!

[Bigred]

That think looks BAD-***! Forge knocks another one out of the park.

[Dlatrex]

Great Omnissiah, that is perfect! Those feeder-belts give me chills. Great job FW.

Do you guys think it's about the same size as a knight? Maybe a little smaller?

I like it more each time I look at the pic.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I just love the entire Mechanicum. :D

[Mr.Pickelz]

This could make a sweet Dreadknight conversion.

[euansmith]

Whoa! That's freakin' massive!

Based on the scale they show, it should be closer to a DreadKnight.

Here is an approximation

See, that just makes me want to walk one up to a Knight, and fire the Mortar right into it's mush!

Ive been hoping for some more robot classes, but this was totally unexpected, but awesome

[Mud Duck]

Are these, and the robots, controlled like 'normal' troops, or do they have something like the Rouge Trader command system?

[Arkhan Land]

they are controlled by nueral cortex which is gear for tech leadership or they have a table for possible robot problems

[Krefey]

I will have 3 please!
