January Preview: Kaliakos Anathema Construct and Skjalos Marshal
🕑 Added 2022-12-31 18:17:01 +0000 UTCHey there all! The last day of 2022 brings yet another preview - one, of an update to a model you've already seen glimpses of, and another of an entirely new model!
First up, the Kaliakos - good god this thing is absolutely stacked in detail! As you can see, its had quite some work done to it over the past month; a full torso with emplaced weapons, steps to walk around the top, armoured plating around the front and sides, huge rear engines and a power core, pistons that articulate a heavyweight coil that supports the body as a suspension system, vents and fans across the entire structure to cool it down, plus a pair of front-facing ball-mounted secondary cannons - that is, secondary cannons that are the Nyphia-Class Secutor Construct's primary weapons. It also features doubled-up weapon systems at the rear - in this case, a pair of fuel canisters for prolonged flamethrower use, but both the secondary weapons and their systems are interchangeable with the triple laser destroyers, plasma annihilators, gatling cannons and eradication cannons that are also part of the Nyphia's wargear.
I can also finally reveal its total height when stood at its tallest is 692mm, though this doesn't include the carapace guns, and the surface area of the carapace structure is approximately 85cm².
Oh, yeah, the other thing. Little bit smaller, but that doesn't get him down: the all-new Skjalos Marshal!
Though this isn't the first Marshal to appear, this is a much closer representation of how I wanted the original to look - now, featuring a bespoke set of heavy armour, a crown-like helmet and all the wargear they could possibly strap to themselves (with an optional cloak, too!), I feel this properly conveys the brutality that I originally had in mind. Also, unlike its predecessor, this one doesn't have a massively out-of-proportion head.
Included are options for the body with and without a cloak, and each arm is separate, allowing you to interchange them with weapons from any previous Skjalos Guard infantry releases. There's also a headless, cloakless version included in the extras folder so you can make one with a head of your choice!
Well, I'll see you all next year! Prepare yourselves: there's gonna be a lot of stuff to print!
