northerndragons Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Delboy: any chance of spoliers over here as well? One can hope, we haven't even seen a render here nor Facebook. I'm leaning towards a super heavy style skimmer tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxToreador Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 One can hope, we haven't even seen a render here nor Facebook. I'm leaning towards a super heavy style skimmer tank. It's logical someone will get a 'Mega Tank.' We have a flier, a multilegged walker, and two biped robots; so if the mega tank is coming it's you guys or the Relth. My money still says another flier though (either very manta ray looking or maybe jellifish-esque) and that Relth will be an even bigger spider.

Manta ray would fit the aesthetic better than a jellyfish. As please let it be a manta ray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxToreador Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Manta ray would fit the aesthetic better than a jellyfish. As please let it be a manta ray! Any leviathan that looks remotely like a ray and with any name hinting at a ray(which it would because Aquans) is just begging for lawsuit though.

Darthp00p00 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 OR... Just give us a massive Manta Battlecarrier model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxToreador Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Allow me to convert the 'manta convo' to a visual why it would be a bad move: http://goo.gl/IAcDx That being said... that model in Planetfall scale would be ~300mm wide!

Darthp00p00 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Don't you dare show me that. I used to play Tau and would daydream about that awesome ship, setting it on the table, wetting myself at the sheer cinematic weight it would bring to the game... Ehhh i cant complain. I got a Manta one way or another Ok ok so maybe not a manta carrier... But maybe like a.. Manta-like planetary assault lander thing... Idk i really dont know.

I used to dream about that sculpt as well, but now it would just be a dust catcher on a shelf. Granted that's called a 'Manta' doesn't mean our Leviathan couldn't still be shaped like that. Save maybe in reverse and bristling with weapon emplacements. No annoying little Frisbee-bots that can fall off either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_990 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Something tells me that lawsuit would fail. Different scale, different material, different game, vaguely similar shape and the name of a fish that is not copyright-able. Having said that, Spartan may elect to avoid unnecessary legal battles, so I have my doubts it will go in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a whole office of legalese pros on salary, the cost of filing a frivolous copywrite case is part of their daily budget. Spartan on the other hand... that could be a noticeable slice out of the profit just to have someone who speaks the language fill out the form to call GW's bluff. Or in PF-speak, Spartan's not going to want to walk towards GW's anti-money artillery marker even if it's micro die is still on 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pok Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Spartan already has/had a smooth-looking manta-shaped ship called the Manta...and nothing happened. steve_990 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pok, catch being the Manta wasn't in BFG it was too small(same reason we are unlikely to see FSA frigates in PF.) On the otherhand with DZC & PF on the market combined with Epic's IP rights getting renewed very publicly, I personally wouldn't poke the dragon.

Darthp00p00 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah, the old concept art. Maybe it could be a walker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmadan Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yep... If I recall correctly it was supposed to be Terquai walkers, I'm guessing mediums by the size of the scales (which also featured on the grav tanks shown at the same time). I'm hoping they'll see daylight when the Terquai get an assault helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pok Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 It was aquan walker, not terquai. It was in the dark days when the aquan stuff looked like they got a terrible skin disease. Hannibal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunizillion Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 as long as it's a machine or a bio-organic machine in aquan style and not like, a giant crab with a Howdah on its back. I felt ill when I found out the Soryllian leviathan is literally a giant dinosaur with laser guns strapped to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
