That is true, but in Mobile Suit Skirmish, you are only running 3-6 suits on average. If you mix in tanks, planes and infantry like myself it really makes the suits look as intimidating as they are meant to be. They are monstrous metal war machines, and it is honestly no different than using the new Primaris Dreadnought, a (Deamon) Primarch, or other Lords of War. The difference is that Mobile Suit Skirmish was designed from the ground up to be able to handle large death machines in it... since that is what it was created around.
The 120mm machine gun that comes standard on a Zaku II, while not as effective against heavy mobile suits unless fired en masse, is a fearsome weapon when turned on anything smaller than itself.
That, and your average 5" tall 1/144 High Grade model kit (that comes in multiple shades of colored plastic, so paint is optional) runs roughly $15-18. They can often be found for less, I bought 6 mobile suit kits last night at $7.99 each, no way you could buy that many large
40k kits brand new at that price. Don't get me wrong, I play
40k as well, but I feel far less guilty about Gundam purchases than
40k purchases.
