    Default potential Collosal Synergies

    I was thinking about it and ours is gonna be packed to the gills with guns. This guy might make Vyross VERY happy. On his feat turn he might be able to fuel himself for a long turn of devestating shooting.

    Snipe might make him rediculas along with ossy's feat.

    Phantom hunter might make him stupid good too.

    It all really depends on the heat he's packing.

    Thoughts?
    I'd say that playing Retribution is more like herding cats, this will not stop me from enacting Scyrah's vengeance on those filthy round ears!

    I don't want to speculate as we don't know enough information about these things. I will assume ours has some type of shot given that it appears to be of Shyeel design and will likely have a field. Hopefully given that its name is taken from the Greek titan who was the lord of light it will help to deal with darkness aka stealth but even that is wishful thinking/speculation.

    Combustion on a 5" base would be awesome.

    I doubt it'll help with Stealth. That would pretty much ensure every Ret player would have one of these things in every single army.

    I think Polarity Shield from Rahn will help keep the Colossal alive by forcing beasts to trample instead of charging losing initials and one fury effectively. In addition I think Force Blast might have potential in that it can push so many models away, but then again if they have thresher(and presumably reach) then that will probably not be a good idea. Telekinesis probably wouldn't hurt either.

    Most of what you're talking about isn't synergy. "Having increased accuracy/damage with ranged weapons during Ravyn's/Ossyan's feat turn" isn't synergy - it's just the basic effect of their feats. Same with Polarity Shield.

    You don't have to speculate for some things. We know that the Colossals will be on Huge bases - this means that you'll be able to screen Large bases, just like the AFG can now. The Hyperion will probably not be an artillery model like the AFG, however, meaning that it will be more advantageous to hide behind it, because the Hyperion itself will want to move forward. This means that models who can shoot through other models (with Bird's Eye, Phantom Hunter, Phantom Seeker, etc) will benefit.

    And Force Blast, like you said.

    I hope it just throws like 6 Momentum blast around a turn and slams evening on the board around.

    It has a massive forcefield, 8 guns, combustion, acrobatics, pathfinder and it's an arc node. With transferable ghost sight. And a 4inch reach. Plus Stealth.

    so question. since the collosals are going to me a new type of warjack does this mean that if one of them is wrecked that they leave a pile of wreckage that can be used as cover the size of a huge bace?
    just an interesting thought'

    It also has Imprint: Ghost Rush, which turns it Incorporeal and grants +2 SPD for the turn.
