Okay here's another dumbass question.
if ?a megachoppa's titan killer abilities only apply to the extra attack, (assuming I'm reading the rules right) is there any real reason to include one if they are not sure of getting into combat?
A regular gargant kicks out with a solid eight attacks at 3+ in assualt. Taking a mega choppa relies on getting into base contact and reduces your firepower slightly. Mounting a huge chainsaw on a gargant is undeniably cool, but is it a good trade off for firepower?
At least a lifta-droppa doesn't have this problem.

The mega chopper is only worthwhile if you're sure you can get into base-to-base contact.
As you mentioned, the lifta dropper is a better deal, its basically a zzap gun and mega chopper in one.

Hi!
I was wondering when it was going to be noted that I'm the "greeter" for these boards.
Its a habit I have from the net epic list.
I like newbies to feel welcome!
