 *DROOLS*
Wow!
I think it's time to take out my legos from the bottom of my shelves.
Sad that I don't have many of them after constructing sooo many vehicles, mecha-like stuff and a large number of cyborgs...
And most of my non-used blocks are blue and white ones... seems I might build a bunch of Ultramarine vehicles...

Legos are too much fun!
I hope to use my nephews' Legos as a key to introducing them to miniatures.
Anyone out there have a good idea how to introduce young children (5-7) to gaming?
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hmmm... BTW Lego is supposed to mean "I put together/assemble"... I guess they could have a real rivalry going on with the Legio Destructor then... ("NO you yellow-headed #######! You're supposed to BLOW UP that Gargant!")
How about Legio Not-suitable-for-children-under-5-years-of-age?
Cheers

Maksim, I have 2 answers.
1: I got into whole wargaming business by first getting into Transformers stuff and then stumbling onto a boxed set of Battletech (seven of them, exactly). Then get them into Epic. What guy does not like giant robots, after all? Plus there is a program called Lego CAD, and www.brickcommander.com webpage, where are data for the Lego CAD containing (surprise, surprise!) Battletech mecha and vehicles. You can sort of scale up the BT rules, and let your nephews to play with these big Lego battlemechs. Make one requirement: each mech is WYSIWYG. They'll no doubt like that they can build robots from lego and play with them.
2: Buy Wh40k 3rd edition rulebook and allow them to use Lego figures for playing. Simpler, yet just as effective.

I hope this hasn't been covered too often before - I did have a quick sweep prior to posting both of this board and the GW one.
Has anyone worked out roughly what kind of points a Mega gargant is worth? Or has anyone faced a SM force up against one and what sort of size force has a "fair" chance of defeating the beast?
Many thanks,
Furgie

I estimated them at ~1300 points and the Imperator at ~1900, iirc.
Just keep in mind that's a rough ballpark and has no playtesting behind it.
