Unboxing: Forge World Thanatar Siege-Automata
March 19, 2015 by dignity
Dave joins Justin in the studio as he's brought some goodies with him for us to drool over. First off it's the massively impressive Thanatar Siege-Automata from Forge World.
The Thanatar is designed by the Mechanicum to be an artillery platform and it certainly shows as this beast has resting on its broad shoulders a Hellex pattern plasma mortar which sounds all kinds of deadly.
With a weapon that size you know it's going to rain down destruction on a devastating scale.
How impressed are you by this resin kit?
Neat unboxing chaps – love the look of the Mechanicum stuff from Forge World, well their walkers and such at least.
It’s probably due to the colour scheme but at first glance I assumed this was a Warmachine mini. That’s not a bad thing though.
So that’s what Dead Dave looks like. 🙂 Looks a great model – would love to see it on the tabletop. Cheers for bringing it in.
My profile picture is my face lol 😉 your welcome and my pleasure.
Great looking piece. I sooo want it!. Definitely awesome sauce!
What the BLEEP!!! That is a wicked piece of machinery.
Amazing looking kit. 😀 And the rules say you can have 5 in a squad! Double awesome!
I was considering collecting a Solar Auxilia for a 30k army… now I’m not so sure. haha 😉
that thing’s a beast!! I also wouldn’t worry about the nomenclature of Astra Militarum. The ‘Guard forever!!
Nice unboxing good to see you again deaddave.
Thought everyone would of been sick of me after a whole weekend lol
I’m not sure what impresses me more – the kit or Dave’s beard. Sadly with my hair type I could never grow a beard that badass. Cool to see BoW members in videos like that.
When did you have time to do these unboxings with the event going on?
Great video. Looking forward to more of these.
just need to get another 30k army in there to face off against your Mech Dave 😉
Well I for one am impressed by the cleanness of this forge world piece. We used to liken them to an artists quote I can’t remember which one we used to describe anything produced by Forge World at the time. Basically take a lump of Resin as supplied, and remove all the stuff that does not look like a ( …..insert name of forge world model ).
We once weighed the stuff we took of a super heavy and it turned out to be super light, I recall it being more than 6oz of scrap material. Happy hacksaw days.
Has anyone played Infinity Operation Ice Storm?

That Thanatar is a sexy piece of kit
Really like this bot, but why does it have to look so exposed in the back?
I was thinking that myself, but I suppose its role as a siege unit means that the extra weight of armour at the rear was unnecessary.
Great vid guys I’m looking forward to more of these, as for the Thanatar well what can I say the things a Beast!!
