I am making a "Great" Gargant for myself (and of course so I can use it whenever I get to play apocalypse) and made myself some rules for it. But I am unsure if it's actually over priced or under priced, so I'm here to ask you guys your opinion of the Datasheet here:





I'd really appreciate the opinions. c:

Update: Changed some characteristics and added some extra in the special rules

Another update: I've accidentally added the same image in both. I know, I'm a genious.

Looks pretty good, I can't see anything there that screams "fix me!".

Firstly it very nicely presented, good editing skillz.

It seems pretty reasonable, double the firepower of a stompa with an extra special gun thrown in, and triple the survivability for 2.5-3 tme the cost.

The only thing I think I'd change would be to drop the front AV down to 13. Gargant are huge smashed together piles of metal and they'd have plenty of weak spots AV:14 should represent the pinnacle of armour. With 36 hull points its super survivable anyway and lowering the AV will make people more incline to allow you to use it as they will think they have more of a chance to hurt it.

Perhaps rules for the old Ball shot/Chain shot from epic?

Over all very good.

Why thank you. It also did take me about a night to finish it off, so I'm happy about that.

Yeh you're right. I mean, one of the most obvious ones are the big ol' 41mm wide cannon that's gonna be in the belly, so I guess I could lower it down a notch.

Well, I dunno the rules (nor the stats) for epic, so I have no idea.

Over all very good.

Gud

In epic the gargants belly cannon used to have 3 different fire modes, Ball Shot, Chain Shot, and Grape Shot IIRC.

Ball shot fired like a cannon in fantasy, hitting all models in a row where it landed and it had the additional effect that it destroyed all void shields in its path as well.
Chain Shot was used to tackle those talk walking titals other races used by firing a huge heavy weighted chain at there legs and tangling them up and tripping them, it was silly good against titans.
Grape shot was a close ranged template power.

Keep up the good work.
