Who needs to buy super heavies when you have some perfectly good sheets of insulation foam a jigsaw and some sandpaper to build hordes of pylons for all your superheavy killing needs

Yeah, why buy awesome models when you can throw some random garbage on the table and call it a D-weapon...

Have none.

I am unlikely to get one any time soon, but the (Albeit devilishly expensive) Chaos Reaver Titan is nice.

My scratch builds for pylons are actually built to look like the real deal and I take some careful time into the details, necrons don't really have much for superheavies besides the huge plastic kit and the pylon and since I don't feel like throwing a ton of money at a plastic kit I will only use once in a blue moon when an apoc event is going on I figured I would make a pylon since it is the classic cron superheavy and isn't too complicated of a superheavy to scratch build and isn't some rediculous OP killing monster like a double turbo laser warhound. I know you don't have the most positive opinions on apoc and D weapons but please don't steriotype everyone who wants a superheavy that just happens to have a D weapon into some WAAC slob who doesn't care about the hobby at all.

I play Apoc literally as often as I can, usually amounting to about 7-10 games per year, and I own one superheavy, and that would be the Aquila stronghold terrain piece. That said, I'm having someone paint up a Lord of Skulls for my World Eaters army, though I'm not sure if I'll ever play a game with them or if I'll just sell them.

If GW were to release a plastic thunderhawk priced at $250 or less, I would buy one immediately and another as soon as possible after that.

Use to have a couple IG tanks. Sold them recently for lack of use. Not regretting it with this though. They'd just be broken in a 2k game.

I dislike the idea of Super-Heavies in normal games, so I won't be making use of the new supplement.

Iranna.

My group has 2 people with super heavies, and we all agree that we wont play with them since they have no place.

Have: none yet
Buy: Baneblade, CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT
Want: Macharius Vanquisher, Stompa

1 Transcendent C'tan, 1 Baneblade.

New ones?
I'll be happy to finish the one I bought years ago and never finished painting.

Wanna Buy: Fellblade or Fellglave for the super Volkite thing! Or any other HH legion thing.

Scratch that. Maybe just the heavy siege tank.

I got zilch but I'd like a baneblade one day.
Escalation really doesn't interest me though
Either it'll ruin the game's meta or won't get used

I have a baneblade, shadowsword, stormlord, tower of skullz, Lord of skullz, plague tower, and 1 super heavy nib that I need to decide what to make of it. Only other things I still want a fellblade, chaos warhound and chaos revenant .

13 Super Heavy vehicles of different types. 15 if it includes my special machines.

its a mix of Macharius tanks, (3, Vanquisher, Battle Cannon, Vulcan)
Baneblades (Plasma 1, Baneblade 3, Shadowsword 2, Tremor cannon 1)
Malcadors (1 defender, 1 annihilator, 1 infernus)

the "specials" are a massive War Zeppelin that drops tons of heavy bombs and things, and a Nuclear Cannon, but they are not allowed to play... but its still awesome to have them.

I have so many due to the simple fact that they are fun to build.

I was forbidden to join an Apoc match recently at my local store since I have so much firepower and BIG templates I can throw around. The teams didn't have any super heavies of any kind.

I have blueprints for multiple other super heavy machines in the works. like a Valdor Tank Hunter, another macharius or 2 (battle cannon and plasma) and then some....

I don't have any as our armies and table aren't big enough for Apoc.

I am considering adding a Stompa as a reward for finishing my Orks pending how this expansion pans out.

Have:

3x Baneblades, including one of the old Lucius pattern forge world ones

1x Stormblade

2x Shadowsword

1x Warhound Titan

I play Tau... I want a Manta darn it (the same way I guess most people kind of vaguely want to their own private jet airplane)

More reasonably: Tigershark AX-1-0. And I put an advanced targeting system on it every game. So incredibly useless...but the first time I snipe the opponent's warlord with a strength D railgun...

Have: two store-bought stompas and one scratch built (out of IG tanks)

Buy: Probably another stompa, I will always need more stompas.

Thunderhawk
Chaos Warhound Titan
Baneblade

I guess the FW Greater Bloodthirster would count as well.

At some point I may get one or two more - but I'm in no hurry.

None and none.

Have: None, never got around to it and too few people with high enough points levels to even consider apocalypse. Plus we aren't familiar with the new rules.

Want: What else? A Stompa, possibly a baneblade so I could loot it and make it a Battle Fortress.

Buy: None, not when I need to get so many people gifts this year

none and none..... why get a superheavy when i can use the points for more Russes?

No plans to buy anything at the moment (don't own any superheavies).

None, a Manta would be great, but realistically I might settle for an AX-10

I've got a warhound but would love to know the most cost effective super heavy for my DKOK.

I've noticed somebody playing Heldrake spam at the club so i'm thinking of getting a PRAETOR ASSAULT LAUNCHER but otherwise i'm spoilt for choice - maybe a Macharius Vulcan?

2 Macharius, 2 warhounds, reaver, thunder hawk, 4 bane blade variants, stompa, 2 of the big FW daemons. Is a spartan a super heavy?

Plan to get a few of the Eldar super heavy grav tanks and flyers.

I'm lucky my group like and have plenty of super heavies.

Well, we have a bimonthly local 40k tournament. I guess one of our next tournaments, not December, but February, could include the Escalation rules.

I have a kit-bashed thunder hawk. I am curious to see what other super heavies the space marines will get. If they are pushing the FW angle my guess is the Fellblade will be in there and that'll be it. Now, since my models are all painted Dark Angels and currently there are no true DA super heavies and the book claims to provide at least one super heavy for each army I'm expecting the data sheets to be repeated for the various marine chapaters with thier own codex, but here is hoping for some sort of super awesome plasma monster for the DA.

Space Marines: Reaver Titan and Scout Titan.

i'm going to build my own manta and orcas. too damn much money for those things.
