Nope, it wasn't.

http://d6addiction.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/thursday-night-game-nigh-cadians-take.htmlThanks for wirting this up for us Steve.
As everyone will read, the Great Gargant was a fortunate survivor at the end of game and I'd like to thank the giant building in the centre for providing a refuge for the last 2 turns.
Regarding performance, I love the Gargant list for the pure stompy goodness of sooooo many DC and great weapons well weighed by the Orks special initiative rules forcing them to bounce ever closer, blastie away looking for lucky 5's and or 6's!
A little miffed at the Supa-Stompa increase - seems a bit arbitrary without explanation - they are the easiest targets in the list and restricted by the Gargant to Support ratio. Though they did well in this game...
I echo the sentiment above that the Gargant list seems to be getting further and further penalised with each release and appears to that it is mostly based off people's untested feedback - 12 months ago it was a great list, then Stompas got adjusted (nice), Killa Kan Formations introduced (double nice), but then reinforced boilers were dropped (fair, the were too good to have), Going for it auto fires were introduced (was happy with a difficult terrain test with no reroll), Wyrd Towers were swapped out for Flakka Dakka (once again one of the best things, but understandable for their cost), Gatling was nerfed on the AP (considering its 45cm, and being wielded by a ork that will rarely be doing anything but taking the penalty for doubling), must auto include a great gargant reducing the flexibility of the list, and finally Supa Stompas have had a price increase...
Seems to be a lot of "fluff" being used to justify dragging the list down.
Still, I enjoy running my Gargants and will happily take them to the next tourney for a big test of their mettle.
