Plastic Mechanicum Thanatar Cavas Unboxing - Warhammer the Horus Heresy

We check out the latest release for the plastic Horus Heresy Mechanicum range with the Thanatar Cavas Siege Automata!

In this video we take a look at the kit, build it up and paint it to see what it looks like in the flesh!

Massive thanks to Games Workshop for sending us over an early review copy!

One of the coolest model ever designed by FW team

[StevenRead]

would have been nice for them to be more obvious about the pose options in the marketing! great overview. Did they not send out copies of the Archmagos Prime? Really dying for a nose at the sprue pictures of it

I’m looking forward to painting up my army.
Doing the color scheme of the Adeptus Mechanicus Metalica

Since you've assembled it, do you believe it would be possible to magnetize the Mortar to swap between the closed and open petals? If so do you think it would be relatively easy or be a bit more complicated?

[Buffaluffasaurus]

Obviously hard to know without seeing what the Calix is like, but do you imagine it would be possible to magnetise to swap between the giant mortar and the sollex lascannon? Just wondering if it's worth 3D modelling and printing a giant lascannon for it for the meantime and figuring out a way to magnetise between the two.

Love the model - have two in resin, but that’s a ridiculous price for plastic - at a push it should be the same as a redemptor dreadnought. Shame there aren’t the weapons options included

Great video that very meticulously gives us an amazing perspective on this kit.

... but...

THE KIT DOESN'T HAVE TWO WEAPON OPTIONS!?!?!?

SUCH A

I also bet most players will be suckered by this anti-consumerist garbage and will be too ignorant to just convert the Calix cannon. It's not like it has all that much detail or distinct a look. Just stick any long barreled cannon on the shoulder and you're good to go.
