Called in an order to G/W US for Storm, Tas and I today. The Troll said today was the last day for Archive Epic ... I'm not optimisitic about the E:A release in the US. Besides the prices going up, you have to buy everything in sets, instead of the pieces you need/want. I'll be selling a lot of extras here and elsewhere. And it does not appear whether we will ever see EPIC sold in bitz again. But I could be wrong ... I hope so ... |
Nice one L4, I got your mail btw...
-You never know, they may start selling by bits eventually- BFG is available in the US in parts, whilst in the Uk, like the new EpicA release, it is not.... grrr..

Hi!
Darn, I kinda hoped it wasn't true.
I hope the blackout period is short.
Bring back the archive!

Hi guys, got a quick question for you. I got my hands on an old slasha gargant, but I'm unsure of how it compares to other gargants (not having any) scalewise. Is it a good model to use as a supa-stompa, or a gargant?
Thanks guys, suggestions for comical names would also be appcreiated (current leader is percy)

I'm pretty sure you can use it as either. The Orky player in my group uses one as a Supa-Stompa, but as long as your opponent knows beforehand, there should be no problems.
my 2cents,

I use mine as a normal gargant.

I have all the Gargant models from SM1 on ... The E40K/E:A Gargant = the Slasha. ?The bigger Gargant is called a Great Gargant. ?Put them side by side (as I have mine displayed) and the size differences are obvious (but since you can't) ... Stompas (I have Supa-Stompa on preorder !) > Mekboy Gargant > Slasha Gargant/Gargant > Great Gargant and finally Mega-Gargant. ? ? ? ? And a good name - I always liked "Fred" ! ?

Thanks guys, I'll have to see them side by side before I make a decision though.
Thanks for suggestion Legion 4, although I was thinking a a comical name. Hence percy, a subtle comment on the model's, erm, "belly", gun.

If we're going all Pratchetty, how about 'Gaspode' then... or perhaps 'Binky'... maybe they aren't that Orky tho... hehe...
