So It looks like FW is bringing us this guy:

No idea about size though or if it'll even wind up looking like that in the end.

It ain't going to be in Epic scale ... if they do make it, at all ... Don't really like the design regardless ... ^-^

I'm not too fond of it at the moment either. The tracks do match the current mechanicum line stuff but there seems to be very little to tie the model together between the tracks. Especially on the side view where you see the connector between front and rear. Just feels more like two entirely separate things rather than a single vehicle.

They keep putting the track units on backwards too.

I don't mind it except for the mechano side plates on the 2 tractors.

I like it.

I see someone online comment the front track area is roughly Land Raider size if that helps scale it.

Rear tracks: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_H ... VEYER.html

Front tracks: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_H ... _TANK.html

I agree that it isn't obvious that the front tracks are doing anything. Looks good though - for a Minoris.

Hi!

Not the greatest design.

I dont think they know how physics actually applies...
Not sure what the front tractor section actually does... probably just stops the rear section just going ass over when it crests a steep incline hahaha.

The background they've written for it notes it to be one of the smaller classes of ordinatus, so definitely a minoris.

Pretty uninspired, I like the TMG one I just put together better.

Now with Volcano Cannon. Actually looks better, but the chassis still feels too bare.

Hmm, I definitely prefer it with the Volcano Cannon... But I think you're right about it seeming too bare. Having said that, I wouldn't mind owning a couple of these at 6mm :)

Actually... That could be an interesting inclusion in a Titanicus boxed game. Half a dozen battle titans, and a handful of these to act as fast(ish) glass cannons able to keep pace with the Warhounds. As long as the titans all used the same weapon mounts, it'd keep some of the production costs down.

It really feels like it's a WIP - needs a cab or tractor or something up front.
