[HH] Kratos Heavy Assault Tank

[infyrana]

I was looking at this picture earlier - do I see correctly that's double choom on the upper chassis of the lower hull?  It would be rude not to give it those extra choom afterall :)

And with that I'll have to grab one...

Looks like it to me. Going by the leaked rules, it can take volkite cardanelle in the turret, two hull mounted calivers, two sponson culverins and a pintle combi-charger, which I make to be 30 deflagrate shots in total. If you want some choom to go with your choom.

I want one with all the Choom.

[No Foes Remain]

I want one with all the Choom.

That is the only correct choice for your first Kratos.

[War of the Eagle]

Could be camera angle trickery but it looks like the Kratos hull in that comparison pic is twisting to the right of the photo pretty heavily. Wonder if the tracks dont line up with the hull right or put together poorly, or just my eyes.

That is the only correct choice for all army options. ;)

 

I wasn't overly fussed by the Kratos but it'll be a nice glaive replacement and having so much of the same weapon makes an easier choice too - no split fire seeming in 2.0 so life will be better for it.

Choom Kratos. Choom pistol Praetor, Choom Heavy Weapons Squad, Big Choom and Little Choom tactical support squads. Maybe Choom dreads, if they come out with choom arms.

 

Mmmmmm.

Not forgetting choom on terminators or combi-choom. Kakophoni which are choom dialled to 11. The endless possibilities...

Choom for the Choom God, Choom for the Choom throne!

In the gap between the track covers closest to the mid-point, on the viewer's right, there is a distinct jink in the track. It also doesn't appear that it could line up with where the track sits at the back of the tank. I think it might just be one misplaced or ill-fitting piece in that one spot, but it creates the visual effect of the whole chassis being twisted. Maybe the whole thing is twisted. It's hard to tell, but that spot in particular looks problematic.

[Matcap86]

Could also be fish eyeing from a phone camera, the right track from the spartan seems off as well.

[Biscuittzz]

Two of these either side of a Glaive is what I'll be looking to do. All the choom.

[Reldn]

Hmm, A Volkite-laden Kratos or two will go quite nicely with my Choom-heavy Word Bearers...Even better than Mk.VI armor.

 

Decision, decisions...

[FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants]

Can’t wait until it ports over to 40k. Melta variant for 40k Salamanders. Tasty.

[RedFox]

Valrak said in one of his video that it apparently comes with 40k rules in box

[Black Knight]

He later posted a video where he says he got the translation wrong and that they don't come at release but later on.

Chonky.

 

The mythical Choomos pattern I see

[Doghouse]

I must admit I wasn't keen on the design at first but it's growing on me.

[skylerboodie]

For rookies, what weapon is referred to as a choom? Thanks

[Matcap86]

Volkite.

[Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra]

Maybe it's the angle, but the Kratos looks slightly bent to me, the front track sections look like they aren't on a straight line.

I think it's the lighting

Either that or the camera position because if you look the right (Viewers perspective) Spartan track seems to bend in to the nose.

[Kastor Krieg]

Just because the tank has little to no gun depression on it's main cannon doesn't make it bad.

Being physically unable to fire from a hull-down position, from a cresting position, or even engage targets direct front below some range due to combination of how high the weapon is mounted and how small the depression angle is - that's a lemon, not a tank.

 

It's a cool ass looking tank and rule of cool may trump realistic design - but in an RL tank, those are hard failures.
