Last night i saw some of my old 1/72 scale barbarians, and begun to think why i could not use them in epic, as they were only three or four times the size of an infantryman... then i remembered the giants of the WH fantasy game, and then i realized that, although there are no giants in the WH 40k ork armies, no one ever said that giants were not present in the 40k universe. Also, it is supposd that the fantasy world is one of those rare worlds seeded by the slaan with races taken from different worlds so...   :devil: here i present my epic giants stats!

Type: infantry Speed: 15 cm Armour 3+ CC 4+ FF 6+ Weapons Giant fury assault weapon MW, + 1D3 attacks

They would substitute ork dreadnought options, and cost the same. They are aretd as infantry as they do have resistance not too much higher than humans. Their armour save is derived from that of the ogryns (although they don't have any armour they are thougher and have far more wounds). FF value is given beacuse they can always throw big rocks, fat orks and the lie to the enemy. The +1D3 attacks are given because of the rather erratic performance of those beings.

Any comment? (maybe i should lower that armour to 4+...)

I have a Space Lizardman/Slann force using Pendraken (SIB) 10mm Lizardmen, and W/M Mage Priest... but Have not done anything more than look at them. ?

Working on Lizardmen Temple (Gladiator Aztec Temple with G/W Lizardmen Glyphs) and LoTR Ruins detailed in a similar manner! :D ?

Have a scenario in mind with an Epic Force on the jungle planet "Darien"... With Lizardmen and Predator Aliens going after all who lands! :laugh: ?

Also plan on using 10mm Pendraken "Aliens" :alien: with my 'Nids (SIB)!

Hi!

I use a lot of the figures L4 mentions as part of the Dracon and Slann Exodites we made for netepic. Good figures.

Well, i think it depends of how many of those monsters are you going to put in a base: think that the Ogryns stas in E:A represent a squad of five Ogryns. That's why they have a profile similar to my giant, which, although a lot bigger and thougher than an ogryn, is just one, not five.

Incredible... so i opened a post for talking about giants and there is only but one post (the FIRST) talking about them. But speaking about Slaan... what do you use for slaan infantry (the rogue trader "slaan braves", if i remember well)? and where can i find a picture of those aliens you use? there are no pictures of them in the pendraken site...

Hi!

In NetEpic, Slann use an advanced powerarmor called "battle-amor", so any of the power armored battletech figures are good. As L4 pointed out Pendraken makes some 10mm sci-fi lizards that could be used for them. Also their fantasy lizardmen could with some conversions be made into decent slann.

What I am still looking for are some good looking grav tanks for slann armor.
