I can't wait to Backlash+Feedback this thing.

Assuming that still works on the colossals.

Well, looking at the card really got me pumped.  I was down for one but I may be going for two of them.

MUST PAINT MORE CYGNAR!

Meh, im still kind of nervous about Colossals. Its not that im worried about them being over powered, im just wary of them changing the game dynamic and making it were it is one whole army against one model/deathstar. I might be getting nervous about nothing, but i am still not sold on them.

Isn't that the same thing. I think in order for them to change the dynamic of the game in a drastic way where its an army against a deathstar then that model would have to be overpowered since no one in their right mind would pit a shit model vs an entire army.

The closest thing colossals may do is motivate a player to make one of their tournament lists adept at killing high ARM targets.

The battle report in the new NQ does a good job of showing how they can be both deadly as well as how they can be dealt with. The Kraken gets beat down by the Behemoth and the Conquest gets tied up by Pistol Wraiths.

Anyway, I'm buying two of these guys because I have a sickness when it comes to Cygnar models and owning multiples of them. The rules are pretty sweet. I'm excited about the "Thresher" + Electroleap combination  ;D

From what I have seen, it doesn't seem OP, (that will  be the gargantuans where the stupid troll thing will be able to have 5 fury).

Remember, these things cost 19 points.  They had better be worth that much.

i feel a bronze back or mulg could kill it in one rounds of combat. So that could be the balancing point. like how jonm said big b took out the kraken.

The Cryxians are scratching their heads because two of these with pHaley seems pretty unstoppable. Tuck her in behind them and she prevents charges and debuffs from happening. The main things that can stop the colossals are shut down by the support (B13 and gun mages).

Mechanics taggin along make it near impossible to do any lasting damage.

2 defenders (minuse 2 inch range)
1 cyclone
1 stormclad
3 fireflies


You know, that swiping attack with e-leap is going to be absolutely hilarious.

If that's the case Keith I should probably just get you a new one.
