Had another game with my Gargants today. This time UvenLord took his Space Wolves to face me. Lets just say that the fierce norse warriors of Fenris didn't make Lemas Russ happy or impressed...at all.

Setup was a usual for me. Blitz in the open, both T&H objectives only 30cm apart just across the midline. UvenLord setup his objectives pretty far apart.
I deployed my whole army on the right flank in one big fearsome blob. Lots of overlapping AA shots to scare away thunderhawks full of termies from alphastriking.
UvenLord spread out pretty evenly over the whole board.

My thoughts:

Well, UvenLords list was an extreme assault list with almost no capabilities of stripping shields before assaults. That combined with his crazy tactic of lumping so many formations together within charging distance of several of my gargants lost him the game.
To his defense he said that he would go for a long shot with the engagements instead of playing the sneaky hide and seek game that can win you games against big ass WE:s...

This build has won 2 games now, but both has been against really assault orientated lists. It would be interesting to take it out against a shooty list like AMTL or Steel Legion.

Flakka Dakka feels great, way more orky and balanced than the wyrdboy tower. So thats going to go into the list for sure.

The "Push em..." rule still feels to weak. I'm seriously considering changing it to a auto-fire instead. Less dice rolling and more orky feel.

You're comment about assaults has me curious, was Uneven trying to FF the gargants or was he in CC? If it's CC he he should be ignoring shields.

Oh i know, he was in cc, it was the supporting fire that cut down shields mostly.

Then that's some pretty crappy rolling if he didn't manage any hits with his assault.

Yes, he rolled terrible! But 4+ RA also helps to avoid getting hurt! :-)

It clearly is a bit OP since all aircrafts gets sucked into its energy-lightnings and are destroyed!
