Hi!
It was cheesy though when you started using titans with the "relay" ability though.....

Relay rule was weak ... we never used it in it's out-of-the-book form and dropped it, IIRC !

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.

HI guys, I found these in a box, painted many years ago. I know they're Eldar, but does anyone know thier names?
Also, any ideas what my Tempests can "count as"?

Thanks in advance,

I guess that the both are super heavy tanks. The first one would be a scorpion, armed with a pulsar laser. The second could be an old cobra armed with a distort cannon. Those are my best guesses 
Regards,
Xavi

The first is the old Fire Prisim (then called a 'Prisim cannon' iirc), and the second is the old 'Warp Hunter'.
Both are SM2 era, and the Prisim cannon hull was also used for the old Nightspinners...

Hi!
Stormseer is correct. I own both of these models and they are the Prism cannon and Warp Hunter respectively.

A small correction: the one on P1010003 is not a Fire Prism, it's a Deathstalker Prism Cannon first seen when the "Renegades" supplement for SM2 was published. Fire Prism was published after that (when the Titan Legions came out to be precise).
