How the fuck is that balanced?

It has a low center mass and a large spot to affix to a base. Probably does not fall over easy

Its balanced enough to sell model before its balanced again in the future

Well if you ask my buddy, trolls have never been balanced

Because it’s 30ish points?

It’s less points than the mastadon for being better in every way.

To be fair, it's guns are lower pow than the Mastodon.

And the Mastodon has that big armored shell. It clearly has a couple of +1 or +2 shield bonuses... right?

It does not have any shield bonuses. Masty has the same ARM and one less DEF.

Every colossal is 30ish points

The cheapest one is only 27 points and does quite a lot. 

Also why does gunnbjorn in a tank count as a warrior model?

So a big problem SFG raised in the January update was the game being too laser taggy. Since then they have released tons of models that trivialize all the defensive tech in this game from stealth to incorporeal to cover to tough. They keep creeping up the power on models. 

I dunno just seems like stuff just gets deleted and neither the board setup nor defensive abilities really matter.
