    Default Thanatar-Calix Class Siege Automata.

    [url=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/THANATAR_CALIX.html]It's a beauty![/url] £70.00 all in.





    Quote Originally Posted by Forgeworld
    The Thanatar-Calix class Siege-automata is a potent war machine and a wonder of the Mechanicum’s craft. Combining arcane and secret technologies, it carries a twin-linked mauler bolt cannon alongside a rare solex pattern heavy lascannon, whose beams of coherent light can reach far across a battlefield to lethal effect. The Thanatar-Calix's most destructive armament though is the graviton ram, a weapon whose origins are lost in the Dark Age of Technology. The ram's crushing waves of gravitational force can pulverise infantry and vehicles alike, and it can be utterly devastating at both range and close quarters.

    The Thanatar frame, designed as a heavy weapons platform, is well armoured and further protected by atomantic shield generators, making it nearly impervious to all but the heaviest of weapons fire. Whilst it is slow to advance, the Thanatar-Calix’s durability allows it to close steadily on its target, moving ever nearer until its formidable weaponry can be brought into range.

    The Thanatar-Calix may be taken in any Mechanicum army, including the Taghmata Omnissiah, Legio Cybernetica and Ordo Reductor army lists, in Horus Heresy games. Experimental rules for the Thanatar-Calix can be found HERE.

    This is a complete, multi-part resin kit. It is available to pre-order today for despatch from Friday 17th April.

    Ooh, I wouldn't want to charge at that.

    ...not that I'd want to let it stand around shooting at and charging me, either. Talk about Morton's Fork.

    Looks great and the rules are nasty too.

    Also looks like we have more bending of resin to do as the power cable for the Ram is supplied straight.

    Oh.

    That model is absolutely gorgeous. I love Forgeworld's Admech robots, and they've been some of the few FW models I've been tempted to buy, but this is far and away my favourite.

    I have two thanatars and they are my favorite Mech unit. Looks like I will have at least one more in the near future.

    Out of everything that FW has done int he last 2 years - this... this is all I like. If only for the superfluous use of ammo feed belts.
