Bring Down The Fortifications With Forge World’s Siege-Automata
April 10, 2015 by brennon
You know those walls over there you want to bring down? See what you think of Forge World's Thanatar-Calix Siege-Automata that will most likely get the job done...
More information about this beast...
"The Thanatar-Calix class Siege-automata is a potent war machine and a wonder of the Mechanicum’s craft. Combining arcane and secret technologies, it carries a twin-linked mauler bolt cannon alongside a rare solex pattern heavy lascannon, whose beams of coherent light can reach far across a battlefield to lethal effect. The Thanatar-Calix's most destructive armament though is the graviton ram, a weapon whose origins are lost in the Dark Age of Technology. The ram's crushing waves of gravitational force can pulverise infantry and vehicles alike, and it can be utterly devastating at both range and close quarters."
...and all I can think about is that massive cannon blowing the hell out of things and those mounted guns ripping things into pieces.
Another addition to the wishlist?

I love those Thanatar bad boys.
That is one awesome battle cyborg. You just have to love Forgeworld’s Legio Cybernetica automata.
That looks really impressive.
You had me at MASSIVE AMMO BELT!
pretty cool .. seems to be armed only with weapons that are actually useful, even the knuckleduster is more than just a dedicated melee weapon. 30k looks and feel a whole lot better than 40k to me, if only they could stop letting clowns slap joke prices on the product.
Mmmmmmm … 🙂
The size comparsion is a lie. The are much smaller than it seems.
Really? I took a picture of mine in this thread showing how big it is compared to a dreadnought, they are huge, my picture isn’t lying http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/painting/forum/topic/minotaursmechanicum-project/?topic_page=4&num=15
FW Design Team Brief: To make the modern dreadnought look like a sissy.
looks so cool 😉
Poor old @deaddave‘s wallet looks like it’s going to get a hammering again! This is a sublime model, the attention to detail is breathtaking. All their stuff just looks like it would actually work. I’m really liking the GW stuff but this just knocks their good work clean out of the park. I may even buy one of these for my son’s mechanicum Army just so I can build and paint it.
I’m going to try and be good and finish everything that I still have in boxes! 😉
This is a fantastic piece! I love every bit of it. I wish they put this much thought and effort into the rest of their range.
Certainly the releases for 30k have me pondering a possible return to GW gaming. Wait…what the hell am I saying… 😀
The temptation is strong. My will is weak. Maybe I can buy just one small model? To try it out? Yes. There’s no harm in just one, is there? Maybe, two? 🙂
You know, that is always how it begins. People always think they can handle Forgeworld addiction. They tell themselves that they will just buy one or two small peices, and then they will walk away. But one or two soon becomes three or four. Then five or six. Then ten, soon dozens, and before you know it you are remortgaging your house, selling your first born, and trying to convince yourself that you don’t really need two whole kidneys anyway, and another wargamer is hopelessly lost to plastic (in this case resin) crack. Just say no… to Forgeworld…. … or,… Read more »
I’m loving the Forgeworld products, it’s just the eye watering prices that give me the fear… still I am sorely tempted to get a Mechanicum army going.
Im so very close to buckling and starting a 30k Mechanicum army.
The only thing stopping me now is my gigantic backlog :/
…you must solar…….succumb……yield to the shiny forge world Mechanicum miniatures it is your destiny muhahahaha……….
Yes… I can feel your shiny syndrome… it gives you focus, makes you stronger (and poorer)… click ‘buy now’ with all of your model lust, and your journey to the Expensive Side will be complete… 😉
lol, v funny 😉
To segue from one famous sci fi property to another…
The litany against giving in and buying awesome Forgeworld models:-
“I will not buy Forgeworld models. Forgeworld is the wallet-killer. I will face my shiny syndrome, I will let it pass through me!” 🙂
@vetruviangeek @jay188
I think Salute just got a whole lot more expensive for me lol
Just write an awesome ruleset for these 30k models already
