    Default Conquest!

    Up on the main page. Also here.



    The Conquest is a walking mountain of steel bristling with some of the most powerful weapons ever used on the battlefields of the Iron Kingdoms. The deafening roar of the colossal’s steam-fed engine is punctuated by the staggering percussion of its devastating guns, which unleash a punishing barrage of shells able to reduce warjacks to slag and annihilate entire enemy formations. Deployed to the front lines, the Conquest brings unrivaled firepower to Khadoran battlegroups.

    Looks great. I really hope that big right arm overhang isn't a problem on the table though. I love the rugged simplicity of its design.

    One thing I did not notice before is that the big metal boxes on the shoulders might be hinged! They might open up and reveal more guns or some other surprise (maybe once per game?).

    I've been brushing up on my MW skills for MechWarrior Online. I would be so stoked if those shoulders opened up to reveal LRM racks.

    Excellent. Most excellent.

    Now I just need to figure out which internal organ I can do without in order to pay for it.

    Surprised they didn't make it called the Konquest. It breaks that Khadoran trend in that part.

    And stuff.

    Ahhh----

    Noticing lots of weird things with this guy all of a sudden. Like the legs feature lots of rolling pins, which is whatever... makes him look like a transformer.

    But there's a weird gap at the back. Like there's 5 million tonnes resting unsupported on this little torso peg. I might greenstuff that to make it all like one piece. Assuming its built that way for the sake of posing.

    Great looking model, so it seems the standard MSRP of these will be 135 USD. I am curious to see what it does.

    Dude, if the Conquest has Death Blossom it is officially the coolest thing in the history of ever.

    It had better have a combo strike with critical catastrophic damage. So you can do a khador conquest combo catastrophic critical.

    Remember, Death Blossom delivers only one massive volley at close range... theoretically.

    I believe you meant to say "a Khador Konquest Kombo Katastrophic Kritical", there komrad.

    Beautiful. This thing is just gorgeous. Unrivaled battlegroup firepower in a faction that has the Behemoth puts a smile on my face. Please, please let his rules measure up. This is a model that I want every excuse to field whenever possible.

    Whoever prepped the images for the 360 degree view forgot to edit out a chunk of the background above his shoulder on the third slide.

    Oh, and thanks for making a big stompy robot. Hopefully the rules make it actually viable in game, unlike the (now-not-as-big) other stompy robots.

    Two GIANT flat head screws on the plate above his head? How did the Khadoran engineers get it together? There must be a 2nd Khador Colossal with flat head screw driver hands......

    Don't even get me started on the rivets that are the size a WG infantryman's head......

    It's the arc of technology. You build tools that let you build better tools that let you build better tools to get your widget. Presumably all of the major construction for these guys is done by laborjacks (that were built by hand).

    the behemoth was the prototype for the laborjacks needed to build the colossal?

    Now that I've gotten a better look at Conquest's design, the Colossals are starting to show a rather consistent design philosophy. Each of them appears to have one or two short-ranged/close-quarters guns, one or two long-ranged guns, and two melee attacks.

    I'm expecting ranges of around 8" to 10" on the smaller guns, consistent with the existing flamethrowers and chainguns on the Menoth and Cygnar designs. The Conquest will probably pack AOE 3s, since flamethrowers and chainguns can hit multiple targets. The Kraken will likely have some form of Rapid Fire to give it at least some infantry-clearing capability...

    Loving the sculpt for this thing much more, seeing it in more detail

    Also mechanical eyebrows.

    I'm hoping those shoulder hatch things are hiding absurdly giant racks of rockets,

    Given how ludicrous-large the battle mechanik's tools are, maybe it was just a man-o-war with an equally oversized tool?
