I plan to make a scratch-built Plague Reaper, starting with this really big plastic toy tank I have

This.
But we have a bimonthly apoc battle. So some Superheavies are definitely useful.
In particular, the Obelisk and the Transcentendal C'tan come in a single box and I plan to use them in regular games too. The Obelisk looks like a Monolith.

none. not really interested in super heavy's

Inf uture probably some version of Baneblade...but Im just building my first army, so there is still time...

None and none

1 Hellhammer, 3 Baneblades, 1 Stormblade, 2 Shadowswords, 3 Machariuses (one of each flavour) and a Lord of Skulls. Pair of Hierodules as well.

I don't intend on getting any more.

Own: Baneblade

Want: Warhound
Shadowsword

Not going to use them in an escalation game though. Just doesn't seem right.

Own:
None
Want:
Reaver Titan
Warhound Titan

But not to play in Escalation, I have just wanted those for a while now for the next Apocalypse I get involved in.

Have: None currently. As cool as they are, could never justify the price tag for something that won't see much play time (my group doesn't play apoc).

Plan: ... dunno honestly ! I do plan to get escalation.

I play GK, Tau, DA, and inquisition. Here's the rub. I am probably the one person in one hundred that doesn't actually care for the thunderhawk, neither aesthetically or price wise. Heh. So right there, i'm assuming that nixes the super heavy for 2, possibly 3 of the armies. If the space marine super heavy tank is allowed in escalation, then perhaps i might get one of those... though again, pricey. I'm not sure what the Tau one is going to be.

I guess i could ally some guard in or something for access to the baneblades, which is really what i like, but i'll really have to see how that plays out.


I think at the end of the day it's really going to depend what super heavies are available for my army, and my most often opponents. There's not much point in me buying a superheavy if most of my playgroup doesn't plan on expanding into it. Still might though, you never know.

Have: None
Want: Baneblade, Stormsword, Shadowsword and (if it is alright to be a gragant) the greater lord of change! Of course, I'd be surprised to get even one of these xD

I play DA, csm and casual orks. Feel a bit gipped due to the thunderhawk being the only marine one, yet costing almost a thousand bucks. May get lord of skulls for chaos though, as the model is awesome. Not even sure if its any good though

I have a Harridan which I got just for the looks and to paint it. And I swear I will .... someday. Really want to get a hierophant for the same reason.

Seems like hierodules might work pretty well in 40k. They match up pretty well to wraithknights stat wise, just have the gargantuan rules.

I've always half-heartedly planned on getting a Shadowsword for a centre piece when I finally decide my IG collection is complete.

The Legion Glaive for HH/marines is a beautiful tank that I want to buy as well.

Including Gargantuan Creatures, I've got:

Orks:
2 Great Gargants
3 Stompas
1 Ginormous Squiggoth
1 Kill-bursta
1 Kill-blasta
1 Battle Fortress

Tau:
1 Tigershark A-10

Grey Knights:
Grey Knight Thunderhawk

IG:
Baneblade
Macharius Vulcan

Daemons:
Scabbiethrax, An'ggrath, Zarakynel & Aerotuprenwtf.


No real plans to buy anything else, I have stuff to work on for the time being. This will, of course, change as ideas happen. (I would like some imperial and/or chaos titans one day)

Great Odin's raven!

I have a Stormlord and that should be all I need until I start looking at SuperHeavy Flyers.

I have a Necron Tesseract Vault and Transcedant C'tan.

Want: Tau Manta (Ha.) but probably going to save up for a Tiger Shark AX-1-0

Also, would definitely buy a plastic Harridan!

I'm sure Escalation will be a pretty fun thing to play.

Have: One partially converted toy tank, someday to be a Plague Reaper.

Want: Baneblade, Chaos Warhound Titan.

Not many sadly

Shadowsword, Stompa, Baneblade

I want a Titan but not yet been able to convince myself to buy two (one for me - one for my painter)

Technically, a Titan is an Imperial walker class - the Stompa is a "super heavy walker." Technically.

I think the new FW bundles are pretty solid for Titans... it's expensive, but you could get a Warhound almost free I think with the pricing shown. That's a good deal, just wish I could let my wife let me swing the $1500 for it.

I have these plus an unpainted Stompa. I don't plan on getting more for this supplement as I believe that Superheavies should be for Apocalypse only.

lol, Pylons? Just raid a scrap heap for discarded globe stands.

My friend actually scratch built one by welding some unused machine parts together and put a green rock in the middle.

giant picture

Planning on getting a Gorgon or three and a Minotaur.

Have: none

Planning on getting a Shadowsword variant and probably a warhound somewhere down the line.

I play dark eldar. This gets a resounding 'meh' from me.

Have this one

I don't believe most people will adopt the new expansion, and I don't care what anyone says about "normal games" - if people are not playing it, its not in normal games.

However, I do love and play a lot of apoc (played on friday, got tabled, but had a great time).

I have:
Baneblade
Some other big tank (for get which one).
Tesseract vaullt and transcendent ctan
Necron pylon
Tyranid scythed hierodule
Tyranid barbed hirodule
Tyranid hierophant
A dreamforge leviathan I am working into a GK warhound, for my custom GK chapter.

I will buy:
A tyrnaid harradin next year some time.
Some thing to proxy as a tau titan*, I am thinking maybe a heavy fear solid rex.

*(I have run my crude scratchbuilt tau tigershark several times, and tragically, it is just terrible - I would not mind if it were only fragile, but had good offensive power, (i.e. a glass cannon) or durable but not very powerful....but its a wimpy piece of ineffective junk. So sad.

wow....thats a lot of stuff, most of it I got second hand, or ebay, or required a lot of work, so while it looks like a ton of cash, not really (for example, I got the two baneblades for less than $100, I got the heriophant for $150, and I got three hierodules for about $120).

I have 2 Tigersharks AX-1-0 and 2 custom Tau Area Denial Nodes. I plan on buying 2 more AX-1-0 and scratch building 3 more ADN's.
