FW Fridays - New Robot & Interesting Bundles...

[voodoo]

Morning everyone, fresh from FW is the Mechanicum Domitar Battle Automata – Larger than the castellax but swifter, this thing packs two siege fists, some heavy fire rate bolt cannons and what looks like a missile pod that’d make Tau jealous.

I REALLY like those Leviathan Dreads... but the point cost seems really high on them... sure they're an AV13 4 HP dread with a 4+.... but a soul grinder is a 4 HP AV13 dread with a 5+ and they die like flies... I'm not sure I'd want to pay double the points for an extra point of invul... despite being very cool looking and having great weapon options...

The domitar looks like a WICKED replacement for the kastellan models, which I am not a fan of personally.

It'll dwarf the castellan. You'd be better served with the Thanatar as even the castellax is huge in comparison. The Domitar is knight sized.

A soul grinder paired with tzeench shenanigans stood up to an unholy amount of firepower last saturday. 2+ cover or 2+ invul, take your pick

I did not realise they were that big! I still think they look wicked.

EDIT: FW site says they at least come on the same base size as the kastellans. Both on 60mm

No lie, it's an awesome model they're just sadly too big. HOWEVER! The thanatar is a heck of a cool stand-in and we can always hope that 30k Mechanicum will be able to cross the ocean of time to 40k soon.
