Stormwall assembly diagram

With that shown looks like the Stormwall will be delayed due to quality issues with its legs.

[magi]

Very cool. I like that the waist pistons are separate.

As for the delay, as long as it doesn't affect later releases, it doesn't bother me.

There is no delay on the Stormwall. We're just re-engineering the legs for mold making purposes.

Even better!

I count 37 pieces, plus 3 pieces per lightning pole thinger. That'll be quite the pile when it comes out of the box, heh.

It sure is! I assembled mine the other night: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater

Part count aside, it was easy enough on assembly, I didn't even have to pin. Some cool poseability, too.

[AJ the Ronin]

Thank for the clear up Simon. Since you are reading, there are other models on Colossals aside from the casters and colossi?

[Defenstrator]

Sweeeeeeet!

I just pray there won't be any bad mold lines.

And remember boys and girls, wear your dust mask when filing resin.

Edit: Hey, are those plastic mechaniks in that picture?

[ReaverQueen]

Looks relatively simple.


I like that those wheel arm thingies are separate. Might be good for conversions and stuff.

You didn't really expect him to answer that, did you? =P

[AJ the Ronin]

You didn't really expect him to answer that, did you? =P

Shhhh...I'm trying to get him off-guard, all journalist-like

[ForestZ]

Hmm...Simon, your Stormwall has some armor over the front of the ankle, but that's not depicted in the assembly diagram. Is that an error in the diagram or a bit of conversion work on yours?

[Lord Sessadore]

You didn't really expect him to answer that, did you? =P

Hey, you'll never know if he'd answer unless you ask the question, right?

[CyrDraconis]

So many tesla coils...it's beautiful.

An unfortunate error in the diagram.

[Burninated]

From the 360 view in the gallery you can see that there is in fact a piece of ankle/foot armor that didn't make it into the assembly diagram

[sleet01]

Every one of those ball joints is getting replaced with a Revoltech Revolver Joint when I put my Stormwall together. Action Figure Stryker will eat his heart out.

[AJ the Ronin]

Sobek, look what you did! He noticed my stealthed attempt to pry information from him and now he is not answering.


I wonder if an offering of Caribbean made alcohol beverage would get better results?

It never hurts...

[PG_Sobek]

It never hurts...

Well, at least we can now say that they are at least aware of our concern, but are choosing to keep us in suspense. Either that, or he himself doesn't know the answer.

Read into that what you will.... ;P

[AJ the Ronin]

I know in the US the first thing that comes to mind is Captain Morgan. There is also Don Q and Bacardi. (There other stuff but that's the best)

There are...way too many beers to lists. Although Medalla and Magna are the best known (and world price winners). More here

What I mean is: choose your poison...

[sleet01]

I just realized there's enough room inside the Stormwall to hide a flask's worth of liquor, if he can be hollowed out. That's synergy right there!

[lastspartacus]

I can't wait to see this if you are serious. May motivate me to do the same to a Galleon if it has an adequate number of ball joints.

It may be obnoxious and impractical, but a part of me is hoping each of the Kraken's tentacle links is separate and posable.

Edit: Totally want to steal the flask idea as well. I can just see someone, game going against them, sighing, pulling a flask out of their colossal and taking a big gulp: "Time to get dangerous"

[Monly]

Anyone remember this pic?



The legs are in metal, but on Simmons facebook,



they are in resin. Is that the problems you guys have? Will the resin under a little heat and holding all that weight could bend?

If so, that would merit a delay in my opinion.

There's no delay. The resin's fine, we're just re-engineering the mold's to make them more efficient.

[ReaverQueen]

Hey Simon I accidentally misplaced my copy of Colossals.

I need you to send me a replacement asap.

[DemonCalibre]

Maybe I missed this the first time around
What is with those Swan Mechanics.

They are spray primed gray.

[ForestZ]

Yeah, I figured since you said you need to prime all the models except the mechanics, which you were going to start painting, they were probably just primed gray. Although in that image, darned if your gray primer doesn't have an uncanny similarity to the plastic color.

I am 100% serious. I used 4mm Revolver Joints rather than magnets to build my Merc 'jack kit, and it's super-solid. I've got about 50 single- and double-joints in sizes from 4mm up to 10mm specifically so I can make Stormwall an action figure as well as a battle-worthy mini.

Cygnar: When we turn on the juice, we like to include a little gin.

[lastspartacus]

Vid or it didnt happen

And as stupid as it may sound the fact that there was that tiny knowledge, I feel less paranoid about the radio silence.

So, all joking about beer and rum aside* thanks for that Simon



*If you guys ever decide to appear on the Puerto Rico ComicCon, round of drinks on me.

[Vicomte Athos]

Just so you now there are pieces missing from your assembly guide. The metal bootstraps on the feet aren't on the guide but you can see them on Simons and on the studio model.

Mai Tais are my work are Captain Morgan, pineapple juice, orange juice and some Myer's Dark Rum on top.

I'll pitch in on the bribery. >.>

[detton]

This thing is like a freakin' Gundam. I can't wait to put one together!

detton
=?

[Jake the Dog]

I want to see the Conquest diagram.

[PG_ICleadpeople]

Alot more poseable than I thought it would be. Very interesting.

Dude, that's awesome. I remember WizKids tried releasing 6-8" mech action figures when the ClickyMechwarrior came out, but the line was a flop. Stormwall and the other colossal-class jacks are already the right size.

Usually it is easier to pry info out of Simon with offerings of whiskey/scotch/bourbon. Just sayin'.
