Kraken is what?

[Harvester]

So in Cryx we call a heavy jack for a Helljack and a light jack for a Bonejack.. But what do we call the kraken? the reason I'm asking is because I was looking at Morty's tier list but it says that only Helljacks cost is lowered by 1 point.. That made me wonder what the Kraken is?

[Grimz]

We call the kraken a colossal.

If you like you can start calling it a bonessal or Hellssal or hellofaboneylossal or what ever takes your fancy

[Harvester]

funny boy... I know it's a collossal but usually Cryx don't go with the standard designation

[Alzer]

Skullossal

[Crate123]

There is no special name for the kind of warjack that the Kraken is other than colossal.

Then it is up to us as the community to fix that error now to the names! Demossol

The Kraken is... Hollow? Just went to drill a hole in it to magnetize the unicorn cannon on and was surprised at the thinness of it's shell.

[Harvester]

let's get this thread closed up

[Bohrdog]

I think we should call it the "Krakjack"

Well helljacks are heavy warjacks. If the hyperion is a myrmidon, then the kraken should also be a helljack

[Crate123]

You have just as much reason to call the Kraken a bonejack with that argument.

[Dragon2439]

Except that bonejacks are light jacks.

[Canuberon]

Except that bonejacks are light jacks.

And Helljacks are heavy jacks.

Colossals =/= Heavy jack.

In retribution all jacks are Myrmidons (the light and heavy and colossal ones).

[BarskeMannen]

Brolossal.

[PG_Sobek]

Helljacks and Bonejacks are a class of warjack. A Kraken is just.... a Kraken.

[Adurot]

From henceforth The Kraken shall be known as the "Chubby Unicorn".

Helljacks and Bonejacks are not a 'class' of warjack. In Prime it actually covers this saying Cryx calls them Helljacks and ret calls them Myrmidons, but it makes no actual difference since they are just names. I see no reason for our colossal to not be considered a Helljack.

Apart from the fact that it isn't a helljack.
The post you linked has no relevance to Cryx. Page 31 of Warmachine Prime goes into this in the call-out. Retribution are Myrmidons because ALL their 'jacks are Myrmidons. The call-out specifically says that bonejacks are light warjacks and helljacks are heavy warjacks. In the paragraph directly above that, light and heavy warjacks are classified as being on 40mm and 50mm base sizes respectively.
So using logic. Kraken = 120mm base. 120mm base isn't a 50mm base or 40mm base therefore not a heavy or light warjack.

Back to the OP. No point reduction sadly.

The reason to not calling it a Helljack is the tier lists

Seconded! Can we get a third?

[Happy Scrappy Hero Pup]

Krakerjack - there a secret surprise inside. Just reach in your hand. . .

Chubby unicorn submited, seconded and ratifyed by a third

The kraken is hensforth to be known as the Chubby unicorn.

[Crate123]

Chubby Unicorn is way too long. It needs to be a single word to have any real impact. Chubbycorn for example.

[The Junkie]

I think Chubbicorn and we're done.

[PG_Sobek]

I've never seen the point of giving some models a nickname. Especially when the nickname is longer than it's actual name....

[SpiderBite]

Colossal?
I thought the Kraken was the Lolossal.

Whatever the Kraken is called, one thing is for certain, it must be released.

Well since you can't play it with terminus you're obviously wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you our new Colossal name!

[Charlie Charles]

I think we should call it Jim

[Lamoron]

Microcosmus marinus is the original classification for the Kraken type creatures, also designated in the Cephalopod family. I can't come up with anything that really sounds good though, and I stil hink Crackerjack is the funniest one so far, but I did think up something.
