A really bloody battle with lots of casualties! I managed to roll highest amount on shields on all my gargants/supa stompa so it was a very durable army on the table.
The great gargant with 11 shields is crazy to move. It felt unmoveable once it got into the forest in the center-right. It was obvious in the beginning of turn 3 that tis would be a points game...

Thats 2 wins in a row for the list. Interesting considering the opinions that the list is underpowered points wise.

I have been wondering about taking two great gargants both with extra armour and possibly more shields, a supa stompa and 5/6 fighta bomma formations.... sit a gargant on the blitz and between the t&h objectives, fly the planes around taking out small formations and being annoying and unless the opponent can break or kill one of the gargants (tough prospect with 13DC!!) you can play for a draw quite easily.... I'm keen to try it out sometime soon as potential gaming of the list
