Hi  Noone has mentioned Gargants yet. So given 1 has arrived in the mail I have to decide how to arm it.

How do you arm your Gargants?

Super Zzap gun, Mega Choppa or a 3rd Soopagun?

Is this the new, current Gargant you're speaking of? 'Cause I need images of the new Gargant variants for my Ork hardware book.

I took snapshots of the Great Gargant bits section back in 2004 when they were visible in the US online store, but forgot to take shots of the Gargant, and now they're gone  :(

All my Gargants, like my Titans, have ranged weapons ... close combat weapons are toys for amateurs !  :laugh:  (L4SoTR) :;):

Yes Magnus.

I bought one Mint-in-box- it had 2 Soopaguns, 1 Soopa Zzap gun and 1 Mega Choppa.  I bought another off ebay- it just had 1 Soopagun and the Mega Choppa.

Does this help?

Cheers

James

So that would rule out Mega Choppa- even though it does have some ranged attacks.

So which would be better- 2 Soopa guns + 1 Soopa Zzap gun, or 3 Soopa guns?

Looking at the BP table I would suspect the former as the latter only adds 1 extra BM compared to 2 Soopa guns alone.

Cheers

James

Either combination is good, IMO, but use the M/Choppa in trade ! :;):  It looks like the F/Ork S/Gargant (it looks about the size of a M/B Gargant or M/B Supa-Stompa ?!) has a C/Cbt arm ... goes to trade. Hope they include extra weapons like in the Stompa pack !  :D

Hi!

I have a specially built close combat reaver that would make anyone rethink if close combat weapons are worth it or not. Its over a decade old and VERY successful.

3d6 +18 in close combat and FAST.... :;):

Hi Primarch

The advantage the Reaver has is that it has a higher base speed. With the Gargant only having speed of 15 I do worry whether will be able to get into close combat.

Will need to check the OGBM list to see if any mekboy upgrades give a speed increases.

However for Ghazgull's War Horde army list I am tempted to with L4's advice and go for a ranged weapon.

Thanks for feedback guys.

Cheers

James

Hi!

Gargants are slow, no doubt. The way I "force" close combat with them is to "box in" the target with TWO gargants, both armed with close combat weapons. Depending on how they are positioned you can slowly put a warlord or reaver into a situation where it can be engaged.

Than such tactics are what the game are all about.... :;):
