Hello all! I'm currently working on both my Chaos Tzeentch army and Khorne Bloodbound, I picked up the 2 Gargant box set (crazy good value and the bitz are just glorious!) and Im planning on running both of them in both a Tzeentch and Khorne army.

Yes they're squishy but I have had some immense damage output and they can take some of the heat off of my Lord of Change or BloodThirsters and Daemon princes for a very good cost.

What is everyone elses imrpession of them? ANy particular ideas for them?

Also with a sizeable Point decrease to Chaos Varanguard will they finally A) Size up to Stormcast Drakoths point for point or B) add a viable shock cavalry speed element to a Khorne army since Skullcrushers are so damn bad

I am using the gargants as allies. They work great with my slaves to darkness, very good vs infantery but be sure to hit first and ask questions later (very fluffy imho). they don't do well against shooty armies but well... can't have it all.

The varanguard on the other side seem quite awful to me... Way better to get 10 chaos knights (or 2x5) (for 20 pts more, they got cheaper too) then 3 varanguard. that is 30 wounds vs 16. The knights can even take the same mark and benefit from abilities from heroes from the main factions allegiance. I give them glaives to be murderous on the charge. Just be sure to retreat them when necessary so that they do not become tarpitted.
