MagicHat Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Might just push Vorax out of favorite automata spot for me, although I am not sure where the missile launcher is supposed to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Wait, are we positive this is the Domitar? I would imagine the missile launcher to be a little more prominent. Or existent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainblow Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Wait, are we positive this is the Domitar? I would imagine the missile launcher to be a little more prominent. Or existent? It's got a bank of missiles behind the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I haven't been interested at all in the Cybernetica side of the Mechanicus - not a single automaton released so far in either 30K or 40K. This, however, might just win me over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a bank of missiles behind the head. yep, it's sadly not a "classic style missile launcher" but looks more like the reaver titan one ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicHat Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 For a model that can buy flak missiles, the placement seems a bit odd. Normally a fan of this kind of launcher, but it seems like a silly place to put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Almost looks like the head could recess down into the body to clear the launcher, but really it's hard to tell what's up from this one picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminus Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Is that an automata, or a Lorica Thallax? I guess it would be weird to make another Lorica before Ursarax. If automata, I guess it's domitar with it's garbage rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The description says larger then a Castellax. So i would say it will be a Domitar. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 From the round caps either side of the missile launcher, I'm wondering whether the launcher pivots down so that the upper 'cowl' sits flush with the rear collar, protecting the missiles from fire? Would explain the placement, and it'd be cool if it could rotate further upwards to fire like artillery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nziv Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 If Domitar i'm a bit confused about the arm weapons. They seem pretty shooty to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 If Domitar i'm a bit confused about the arm weapons. They seem pretty shooty to me. Look at the big grav 'hammer' on the Thanatar variant. The arm weapons are smaller versions of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Kind of like giant wrist-mounted captive bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the big grav 'hammer' on the Thanatar variant. The arm weapons are smaller versions of that. I think I'm still processing that a Graviton ram is like big electro brass knuckles and not the gravity hammer from HALO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It looks more 'human' than the other Battle-Automata, maybe it is just that it has more of a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I agree Trokair. While it definitely fits the description of the Domitar, I find it strange that it looks more like a thallax than a castellax. The arms and hands especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 When I first glanced at it, I thought Ursarax. Then saw the lack of claws/powerfists, and was like, "another Lorica Thallax before we get Ursarax?" Then I read the description of its size, and I was like, oh, dumbitar.

Tyriks Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Great model. meh rules Such a disappointing problem to have! I have always wished they would hire someone on their team to just make sure the badass models get good rules so you get to see them shine. It's so sad, but so common!

CommodusXIII Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Better than the other way around - I'd rather be happy with the model, especially the more expensive Forge World ones, and deal with lackluster rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 There is some truth to that. I rather have an awesome model that I can perhaps use to build something else, rather than amazing rules and terrible models that I would have to scratch build. For example, I am happy I am not a Space Wolves player, because those new wulfen things have awesome rules and look like dog turds (no pun intended).
