Colossal Spoilers

[jonm]

So far the Conquest and Kraken have been somewhat spoiled. Also the new NQ contains the rules for the Colossals in general.

Conquest:

SPD:4
P+S: 22 (x2 fists)
ARM: 23 --> Might only be 20 since this is gleaned from a NQ battle report. +3 might be coming from Harkevich's feat.

Main Gun: RNG 15, POW 15, AOE 4, Crit Devastation
Other Guns: **Guessing* RNG 12, POW 12, AOE 3, ROF 2.** Can be used to drop x4 3" Covering Fire AOE's within 12" of itself.


Kraken:

SPD: 5
P+S: 18
ARM: 20

Main Gun: RNG 16, POW 14, AOE 3

- Gains Corpse Tokens
- 4" Reach


Colossals In General:

Focus – They can be allocated 3 focus a turn like a regular warjack.* Unless they have special rules they don’t generate their own focus per turn and they also cannot be Jackmarshalled.

Battlegroup – They are counted as part of the battlegroup and classed as a Huge Based Warjack – all very important for what spells effect them.

Damage – Little confusion here but the basics are this:* Damage wraps within left/right arc grid then transfers to the next once full, d6 to determine column.* If an attacker has its base in both the left/right arc they can choose which side to damage.* Back arc you can also choose the left/right arc.

Continuous effects, damage without a point of origin and damage not from an attack, etc. are basically randomised with a 2 step process.

Attacks – First up power attacks that come in 2 forms:

Power Swipe – Open Fist needed, basically a Slam without the direct line restrictions/movement.
Sweep – Thresher like attack

The Colossals can also make ranged attacks while engaged like Battle Engines.

They all have 2" Reach as standard.

Well i like that they all have reach.

[KestrelM1]

Well i like that they all have reach.

A Huge Based model without it would be pretty sad. I'm very interested in these spoilers, but my heart is still set on finding out what the Protectorate Colossal does

[jonm]

I think you'll be waiting until July when the book drops for the Menoth Colossal. Cygnar gets its toy first with Khador and Cryx on deck.

Still, it looks kinda cool from the art. An over-sized Avatar with rocket batteries? Sounds cool.

I was going to stay away from the Conquest initially because I was looking to grab two Stormwalls, but its pretty crazy how quick they'll be able to make theirs, let alone how hard it'll be hitting.

**EDIT**

Looks like Bell of Lost Souls has a snippet of what the Menoth one does. Surprise, it gets free focus! 

Judicator - Protectorate Colossal

Reliquary - This model is allocated 1 additional focus point during your Control Phase. The S boxes of this modelʼs damage grid represent its Reliquary system. While its Reliquary system is disabled, this model loses the benefits of Reliquary.

What does the Cygnar one do?  Has it been "spoiled" yet?

[Ed]

no

What does the Cygnar one do?  Has it been "spoiled" yet?

I don't know, but its safe to assume POW 10's will be involved.

Jonm, be serious, these are colossals were talking about... at LEAST pow11, maybe even, (gasp!) pow12!!

I just can't wait for the merc colossal to be P+S17 in melee, i just know this is going to happen =/

[Ed]

Oh ya I am just hoping minons get one.

The Merc one is one of the more interesting Colossals in the group. Its probably safe to guess that the "crane" arm will have 4" reach. I doubt it'll be below P+S 18 on either weapon. The guns pique my interest. I'm guessing two guns that are ROF 3.

Oh ya I am just hoping minons get one.

They won't at first. PP said the only ones coming out are for the main factions (Mountain King -- Trolls, Wold Wrath -- Circle, Archangel -- Legion, Mammoth -- Skorne). That said I do hope that they come up with both a Battle Engine and Colossal for Minions sometime soon. A part of me wonders if the Swamp Horror could have been the Minion Colossal...

[canadianone]

I don't think it would have been a good sign if Gators had a 2:1 ratio of heavies to colossals

So, now now the only colossal we know nothing about is the Galleon. when does this book drop again?

[jonm]

Lock & Load is this weekend I believe so we'll know pretty much everything by tomorrow or Saturday I would guess.

The official release is like mid-July.
