Novice Lancer pilot on a mountain top ridge looking at what looks like an enormous forest fire but grey with tints of eldritch greens and kindling orange, "Why is the fire looking like that?"

I then replaced the token with a Balor. The other players all immediately said "what the fuck is that?". They were new to the system, and hadn't read up on what the Balor could do. The Balor player just chuckled, then pulled out the Whip.

I love the fact that Balor looks like a raid boss when in reality it isn't just a singular one - it is more a mech-scale zombie apocalypse of raid bosses, because in the lore the greywash doesn't just consume, it spreads and infects to make more Balors. I know that Horus houses a lot of existential horror, but just the idea of this Balrog styled doom knight the size of a house, wreathed in an indiscriminately disassembling cloud, perpetually *multiplying* as it marches along is definitely among the most viscerally terrifying concepts they've got going for them. I mean it is the only mech in their entire roster that is treated more as its own force in the lore and for good reason.

My favourite thing about Balor has always been its aesthetic. It is literally a walking natural disaster. It cannot be stopped, it will walk, it will consume, you will die. It is as inevitable as the star setting, the moons rising, like a volcano's eventual eruption. Like it said in the battle report, it's angry water. Because water will wear down anything in its way until it gets what it wants. However slow it may be.

If you invest in IPSN licences, you can earn the FOMORIAN frame, which increases your mech's size by 1. In Irish myth, the Fomorians were a giant people, monstrous raiders from beneath the earth or sea, or by arrive by ship. The upgrade is particularly good for builds that have burst effects, like Threat or some systems or weapons, as they measure from the edges of your space and cover significantly more battlefield as you go up in size category. In myth, Balor was king of the Fomorians.

You can get a Size 3 Balor if you invest into some IPS-N license levels and take Fomorian Frame. And there's some potential synergy there since so many of your things care about being adjacent (easier if you're bigger), and grabbing some of the melee heavy parts of IPS-N licenses works well with the rest of the Balor's kit. Balor with some Vlad systems, immobilising enemies in the middle of a cloud of nanites and caltrops, seems like it would be a good time.

My Forward Camera flickered. The targeting solution searching frantically for something. The millions of tiny computations screaming at me that something was there, pleading with me to level my Thermal Lance and vaporize the empty space at my 2 O'clock. I raised an eyebrow and reset the system. The main camera blinked for a split second, and then it was there, the rolling, boiling, burning mass. It reached me. I heard the air, once empty, hiss my name, calling me to my end. I pulled the manual eject out of a reflex I didn't even know I had. Time slowed down like a slideshow, and I could read the prompt on my forward screen Manual eject detected Asset denial engaged Core temp control off Nuclear in 3... I counted the next two numbers in my head as my combat harness frantically tried to combat the hard G's of getting suddenly tossed out of my cozy pilot station. 2..1.. Light. Gloriously bright The auto tint on my helmet was a little slow to react, but as it settled, I could see the wreckage of my machine. A single white yellow flame in the sea of rolling sickly greys and blues. And behind that, the hulking shifting mass of something evil, something that deemed my existence and afront to itself. I could feel it staring at me with its hateful eyes. And then something bit my foot...

i imagine a horus isent a mech you print off, rather you print off your standard everest, and you install some nice smart weapons get some nanomachines going , but then you catch the attention of horus, and neventually your mech kinda just stops being an everests, the greywash expanded and hollowed out your machine till its the mech equivalent of a skinsuit

I personally can not wait for you to hopefully do a video on the Lich (this would probably be much later as it isn’t even in base game) but I love the tiem traveling unkillable mech that dies from everything

It might be helpful to go over the 'Core Bonuses' of each foundry since that should inform you about what each of them likes to do/focuses on.

The balor aka a tyranid ripper swarm upgraded with necron tech that you get to pilot.

So the tier 3 upgrades for balor are either, pull into the blender or throw the blender at. Ill take note for when i fight one.

You didn't really touch upon (what I believe to be) the best part about balor. No one really knows where balor comes from. It just appears. If even one nanite attaches to your mech, next morning *BAM* you have a balor now.

Literally Anything: I wish you'd... Buzz off! Balor: Buzz off... Oh, you mean like bees? LA: Wha- Bees? Balor: *Bees? Ya Want Bees?"* La: Beeees? Balor: *BEEEEEES!!!!* (Maniacal laughter)

I was already interested in this mech if I played this, and the way you portrayed the supposed "horror" of it? Only makes me want to use it MORE! Probably a psycho for wanting to become infected and let my mech be turned into the mass of nanites that is the Balor Edit: Also, is it weird I find that droning sound that was played at times oddly... soothing?
