What do people think of gargoyles? I like them but for there points are they worth it?

What will you use them for?

Distraction unit, tie things up be a pest

Well, they are super cheap and have deep striking, they can be useful hitting soft targets or potentially tying up artillery tanks, soft targets, etc.

Then yes!

I've got twenty and will be picking up another ten. I fell that this will be a great unit.

I own 30. Ive used them a couple times.

1) I hate the models. Not the look of them. I like the way they look. I hate their fiddly wings and the flight base. It's impossible to get accurate measurements with them, moving them around sucks, they get caught on everything, and 30 gargs eats up a lot of table space (which makes deepstriking them difficult).

2) rules wise they are a neat middle ground between termagants and hormagaunts. Faster move and a gun but no 6" pile in/consolidate and no devourers.

The end effect though is I want termagants deepstriking to shoot and I want hormagaunts to tie up enemy lines and disrupt shooting. What place do Gargs really have that isn't better served by the others? The one exception is Kraken where fly allows them to fall back, shoot, and charge again.


Between disrupting my enjoyment when playing the game because of the fiddly models and their rules just not quite giving me enough to want them over the other options I think im done with gargs.

BTW if anyone wants 30 gargs Il sell them for a decent price.

Kraken ones to hop the enemy lines and harass weaker units sounds decent.

I hear you I think they do preform half a job, are there better fast attack options in your opinion?

For jormungandr, raveners. Spore mines if you just need to fill a slot for cheap and or want to create some anti ds screens

For Behemoth Brigade armies they are amazing, DSing 3x10 units and getting 1-2 of them to charge while still shooting is actually really good.

I dont think they are great with all fleets, only 1-2 fleets and you should use their DS as the key point in taking them.
