Izotzuhure Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm guessing the Taker Tribe will have a trait or item that turns a megagargant into a wizard and the Breaker one something against enemy shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Feels like it's heading that direction with the Kraken-Eaters. Their intelligence is boosted by aelven artifacts, they read books and already employ a magic net. It'd be very AoS to have the Order-aligned titan tossing spells by being associated with all the nautical & aelven elements that make up the grand allegiance (not only stuff like Deepkin and Kharadron shipping but that the fishing industry is vital to all the free cities in the realms for clean food sources). Edit: thinking on it that would emulate the magic-user Gargants in the lore like the Azyr storm gargants with Sigmar and Aqshy Khanate guardians.

EasyArmy Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) I was so very excited for this release. Unfortunately, I think the approximate $250 Canadian price tag is a bit too much for a Mega Gargant in my books. Really looking forward to see everyone's pictures from this forum though. Should be lots of fun and motivating. Edited October 8, 2020 by EasyArmy grammar error 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I've done an article on 3rd Party Giants that you might be interested in: https://plasticcraic.blog/2020/10/07/third-party-giants-spectacular/ I've already had a lot of great suggestions for other Giants to include, so I'll be doing a follow up article too. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I think i will built my gargant as a mix of all three gargants. So i can field him as i wish. The gatebreaker hood is set so maybe the krakeneater net in his right and the empty hand of the warstomper as his right? Or just exchange the flayel of the garebreaker withe the gunclub? hmm, options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why stop at that, use some green stuff and make him a 3 headed mega gargant, you could say the heads argue all the time and the head currently in charge dictates the army type Of course that needs to be shown, so the leader will wear a tattered top hat, this top hat you could magnetize to indicate which head is in charge of your army! 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soolong Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm sure they have put the base size of the mega gargents on twitter but I can't find it, does anyone know the size? I think it's 170x105mm same as a stardrake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurvydog Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 12 minutes ago, Gareth 🍄 said: It seems the mercenaries are specific named gargants and the rules we have seen before on the FB posts are unique for these named variants. Probably a way to make up for the lack of allegiance abilities they get in a pure sons army, but it does take a hit for the "regular" mega gargants if fx the warstomper does not have the Shake the earth ability like the named merc has, which is a rather nice ability. The ability does specifically name him : This one seems to be the most impactful by far too, but there might be more to the warscrolls yet and the non named versions might have similar tricks, like the difference between Gordrakk and a regular Mawkrusha Megaboss for example.

Equinox Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I am curious if you will be able to take any destruction factions as allies in a Sons list. If I am doing the match correctly, the most expensive Sons (max models) build is 1950, which leaves enough to buy 1 CP. The cheapest build (max models) is 1920. It is not difficult to cut a mancrusher to open the list up to adding an allied wizard or a couple of chaff units. I do like the mercenary rules, but the limitation on which mega-g a grand alliance can take is a bit annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be counterintuitive but I was actually thinking of the contrary: they might cost less (I know, there's no precedent for a named version to be cheaper than the standard one) since they loose so much without the allegiance abilities -then again, their warscroll might still surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Krungharr Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I am very very interested to face off my 5 Stonehorn/1 Thundertusk army against a gargant army! And then perhaps....buying a gargant army? Can't think of a more exciting and shortest possible game than that The counting as more models for objectives is sooooo key; I'm worried and happy that those SoBs got that rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
