Mantic Reveal The Forge Father Iron Ancestor
March 9, 2012 by brennon
Ok so maybe its just a concept, but this is what the Forge Father Iron Ancestor could look like when it gets finished up by Mantic Games.
Looking pretty meaty. You have to hope that the model is as close to the concept work as possible, with maybe a little bit of movement too it. Anything Dwarf, be it Fantasy or Sci-Fi is good in my books.
Liking this concept?

sweet…hope non hammer hand option as thats a bit weak vs the double gun
Squat in exo armour.
looks cool 🙂
I think this is a bit bigger than exo armour, just past the point were its hard to tell if its a mech or powered armour.
It’s listed under the Heros/Monsters section, from that (and the stat-line) I suspect it may be similar in size to a space marine dreadnought, or Jotun hailstorm cannon.
Looks remarkably similar to a Thorn Heavy Industries Utility Carapace.. with of course a dwarvish styling, and a useful croquet mallet for civilised afternoon lawn games.
Well as the theory goes:
Vanguard – Corporation
Firebrand – Rebels
Strain – Plague
Oh and @bombkangaroo it’s definitely a dwarf dread – it has the same Jotun gun barrels as the artillery concept art. This worries me a little though, as while the Jotun was fine, it wasn’t as good as the concept art for me – the gun barrels and other finer details were a bit clunky.
I’m loving this artwork however – at least it’s not going to be an egg on legs. 😉
Now they only need to get the model to look like this.
Well this certainly means that my Forge Father (also standing in for Space Marines when playing mates) army will have something to look forwards too. Can’t wait to see this fully realised and get a hold of the model.

That looks very promising.
