Thoughts on the Gargants list.
I like the list so far and in general the new weapons and upgrades. I know Graf_Spee mentioned a few points in Uvenlords Batrep the other day which were certainly highlighted in this game. The reinforced boiler upgrade and waddling down a road saw Great Gargant in the centre of the table first turn! For a moment in the game I considered pushing the Big Fella at Justins Blitz.
The extra armour plates upgrade is wicked good on Supa-Stompas! I know Graf-Spee highlighted all the advantages and I agree. I would still pay 50 pts for supa-stompas to have the extra DC and still feel I was getting a bargain.
Thanks Justin for the game, your ad mech are a sensational looking army and I enjoyed our game.
Cheers
Mic
A few extra pics from the game as I really liked Justin’s force and just found myself needing to take heap of battle shots.
