Thunderhawks transport 8 units but dreadnaughts and terminators take up 2 slots each so should only be room for 1 dread when added to a tactical formation.

Thanks for a great report! Any thoughts on the list?

his might sound weird, but i'm happy to see a loss for it! My last 2 games have been wins and i really want to design a list that comes as close to the 33%/33%/33% win/draw/loose ratio as possible.

I really enjoyed the list, I love how much punishment it can take. Everything ticks over very nicely. The always counting as more than ten minis for mob rule on Gargants is a must & fits very nicely.

I've seen some people not being a fan of the Death Kannon but I think it's a really nice addition to the list as one of the only gargant weapon options with any real range. Perhaps limit it to one per Gargant to prevent the emergence of DK spam artillery Gargants castling up & not moving?

All in all I think you've hit the nail on the head with this verion, love it :D

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, i've been thinking about putting some kind of restriction on the deth kannon too.

I have 1 or 2 builds i wanna try before i present some new ideas for the list. Nothing major, just some ideas of restrictions and format.

Thanks again for helping out!
