Review —
The Thanatar model kits arrived packaged in nice simple white box's with printed instructions and a small button. All of the parts have large numbered sprue sections to remove, use of a hobby saw or very carefully using nippers worked well. The resin appeared to be of good quality, it was easy to cut and sand. Some of the parts were a bit warped or squished which sometimes happens with resin cast models, this was fairly easy to correct. Overall I was quite pleased at the amount of detail and how sharp the casting was.
Info —
"The Thanatar-Calix class Siege-automata is a potent war machine and a wonder of the Mechanicum’s craft. Combining arcane and secret technologies, it carries a twin-linked mauler bolt cannon alongside a rare solex pattern heavy lascannon, whose beams of coherent light can reach far across a battlefield to lethal effect. The Thanatar-Calix's most destructive armament though is the graviton ram, a weapon whose origins are lost in the Dark Age of Technology. The ram's crushing waves of gravitational force can pulverise infantry and vehicles alike, and it can be utterly devastating at both range and close quarters.
The Thanatar frame, designed as a heavy weapons platform, is well armoured and further protected by atomantic shield generators, making it nearly impervious to all but the heaviest of weapons fire. Whilst it is slow to advance, the Thanatar-Calix’s durability allows it to close steadily on its target, moving ever nearer until its formidable weaponry can be brought into range."
