Quixus Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I know the two vehicles have significantly different rules, but how different are the two models? Is the Kharybdis significantly larger than the Anvillus? It looks pretty much like an Anvillus with added missile launchers. With the large difference in price (you get more than 2.6 Anvillus pods for one Kharybdis) I was wondering, how many bad looks you would garner if you used the cheaper one (with modifications) to count as the Kharybdis. Another thing, the Anvillus can be mounted on a flying stand, does the Kharybdis have this option as well?

xera32 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The Kharibdyss is massive, and dwarfs a dreadclaw. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317728-kharybdis-vs-anvillus-dreadclaw/#findComment-4265609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Sure it is larger than a normal drop pod, but how does the Anvillus fit in there?

xera32 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I don't have my Kharybdis built yet, but I have seen the 2 on the table top and the Kharybdis is ~2x bigger than the dreadclaw. with the struts in the down position they barely fit on a skyshield landing pad. On the left is the Kharybdis' bottom hatch, on the right is the Dreadclaw's. The Kharybdis' hatch is also twice as thick. http://i.imgur.com/j5jg5Lv.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317728-kharybdis-vs-anvillus-dreadclaw/#findComment-4265616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The kharybdis is substantially larger. Think land raider is to rhino as Kharybdis Assault Claw is to Dread Claw. The height isn't all that much taller, but the footprint is big. As far as I know, there is a flying stand option. There is a size comparison photo of the Kharybdis, next to a drop pod, on forgeworld. The Anvillus dreadclaw is made out of the same regular drop pod, so is very similar in size. This is also why it is so much cheaper, much of it is plastic. For proxy, I don't think it would work very well, but in friendly games you could do worse.

Jolemai Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Think of it as the Dreadclaw is of similar size to a Drop Pod and the Kharybdis is similar to the Lucius Drop Pod.

Krikey Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Here's a comparison: Trying to proxy the Anvillus for a Kharybdis would take a lot more chutzpah than I possess. ~K edit: dreadclaw --> Anvillus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317728-kharybdis-vs-anvillus-dreadclaw/#findComment-4265945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ok that really does not work. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317728-kharybdis-vs-anvillus-dreadclaw/#findComment-4265985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ok that really does not work. If I didn't have both models, I might have thought the same. Aside from the missile launchers, they do look remarkably similar. ~K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317728-kharybdis-vs-anvillus-dreadclaw/#findComment-4265990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
