My thoughts on the OGBM list are as follows:
Firstly, the Mad Mek Bigboss should be able to be placed in a gargant, not just in a great or mega gargant. However, it should also be forced to go into the most expensive gargant on the table. He is, after all, going to go where all the shiniest big guns are. With E&C's blessing, I tested this change in my OGBM pure gargant list, and found it to be most reasonable.
Secondly, I have found that when placed against an equivalent AMTL list, the Gargants are pretty solidly outperformed. They're fun, and cool, but they do not stand up well to the weaponry available to a titan legion.
The exception to this, I feel, is the Supa Stompa, which is overgunned for its points and position in the list. the ability to take 3 such Stompas, in a single formation, results in a quite spectacular MW barrage
While I realise that this might not be possible, given its position in core lists, I think that Supa Stompas should have their weaponry reduced in some manner. As it stands, Stock Standard 2 Supa Stompas vs a Gargant Gargant gets +1 on its CC and FF, and on average 1 extra power field, and cannot be suppressed without being broken compared to Supa Stompas Supa Stompas get the ability to spread out more, and twice as much firepower. They also get 50 points to spend. they're standing at basically as survivable, twice as capable at range, marginally less capable in engagements.
They can also, thanks to their weaponry excess and the granularity of the barrage table, at no cost to firepower, trade one such Soopagun for the free powerfield upgrade. Now, admittedly, they're less able to customise themselves, but when comparing the two, two SS's are way better than a gargant. use the 50 points price difference to buy a second Big Generators or Weirdboy tower, and for the same price as an 8DC 6BP Mw Single Gaze of Mork Shot, with d3+3 power fields, you're looking at 8DC, 8BP Mw, 2 Gaze shots, with 6d3 power fields, or perhaps a better choice, 8DC, 10BP Mw, 2 Gaze shots, with 4d3 Power Fields, and a 45cm MW AA attack.
Even if they only had 2 guns each, a 2 SS mob would still have 2BP, or one upgrade, and a Gaze shot more than a Gargant, and be 50 points less
