Im only 1:11 in and my jaw is already on the floor. It screams airbrush ( no wonder they did an article on them in the last NQ) and I cant wait to paint it!

You state that it took you 2hrs to build. Did you need to pin any part/all of it? and what is it that you mean buy using green stuff to fix the components in place. I just use super glue. If your way improves the durability, I would appreciate some info on this. 🙂

I would expect this kit to need pinning, yes…
A little bit of green stuff in the joint helps to keep everything in place while the superglue fully cures, and it also makes for a more durable joint.
However, the most durable yet is still Araldite… Not very easy to use (it takes 24h to fully cure), but almost unbreakable.

I have just brought some Lock tight (although not used it yet) and I have bought some milliput in place of green stuff. I still have a bit knocking about I think, but would it be ok to use miliput? I think I will pin all the joints anyway just in case. Might slow the build down a bit but my head would be in my hands if ever anything fell of this badboy!! I will look into getting some Araldite (I thought it was a outdoors paint for metal, as I remember the adverts) Do I take it it… Read more »

Milliput is less elastic than green stuff… I find green stuff better, but Milliput is fine. You can get Araldite from hardware stores, DIY stores and even some drugstores… It’s a two part glue. I seldom use it but it’s quite good. You just need something to get your parts to be continually fitted together the way they’re supposed to be glued while the araldite dries, and that’s a while ! I’ve used pinning, rubber bands, as well as boxes with padding… And accidents still happen. I recommend you try araldite on some rubbish kit or something not too precious,… Read more »

Unless it states explicitly in the new book (you guys have it there, crack ‘er open and check) that WJ points can’t be used, I don’t see what not. It’s considered a ‘jack in nearly all respects.

You guys did a great job on the unboxing and you made me green with envy getting that model and the book so early. I hope the book review comes very soon so we know how many models are in it.

If you haven’t already filmed the book review make sure to at least let us know how many entrees per faction there are. PP has been so tight-lipped about this release we only know the casters, colossals, eAlexia, and black dragon UA.

Maybe it shows what a Khador fanboy I am that this is one of the things that stood out for me, but why do you have a Juggernaut’s axe on a Destroyer? Good stuff guys, I was afraid for a bit you wouldn’t show him put together!

Author

the destroyer was built by Andy when he first started with us in the office, good spot have some free karma 🙂

Nice presentation guys. You showed us the parts perfectly into the camera. No wobbly shaking thing. You should do more, or better all unboxing in the future.

I as a Khadorian wait for the Conquest. To smash the Stormwall! 🙂 *some crushing noise*

Nice video. Thanks guys.

Colossals to me seem obscenely overpriced though. You show it as the exact same size as the storm strider yet the price is $50 more for the colossal! Almost 60% more expensive for the same size miniature is just ridiculous.

I agree, the model is nice but hideously expensive.

Member

4821xp

That is true… It’s a lot more expensive, even when taking the extra parts into account. Are PP going the GW way ? Aye, alas.
The reason is probably that they know they’re not going to sell a lot… After all, how many do you need in a force ?

Author

i don’t know Romain, i’d say it’s a production thing more than anything else the fact is thats its a hybrid kit with more parts than lets say a battle engine and each part moulded is a cost that PP have to cover, im not complaining id say there worth it.

I do think that people are also overlooking that though it is as tall as the stormstrider, it seems to have much more solid mass and volume to it. Though the price does seem a little steep, I think the cygnar colossal might be suffering from the “all colossals are the same price” syndrome to match up with something like the khador conquest in price when it is clearly smaller.
