Grendel Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'd really like to ally in a Giant (Gargant?) into my Chaos force. The bog standard giant seems pretty good, does anyone use one often? And are the other two worth trying? Curs'd Ettin or Siege Gargant?

Skreech Verminking Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 A friend of mine used the siege giant ones against my skaven. the great thing about him is that he can do much more damage than the normal average giant. and him having a 4+save also means that he’ll live longer.

sal4m4nd3r Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 If you are lucky enough to have a war mammoth from forge world, or your group lets your scratch build... the warscroll is absolutely ****** insane for 320 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The new rules for the Giant can get 3 more attacks, but you'll need a BoC Hero to babysit him. Strange you think any Chaos Hero or at the very least Mortal Hero could do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mierce Minis actually makes a very chaos-esque looking mammoth that is almost as big as the old FW model as an alternative option. Just would need to convert up a howdah: http://mierce-miniatures.com/index.php?act=pro&pre=mrm_dkl_fmr_blr_mbs_701_000 One thing that does bug me about the warscroll for the Mammoth though is that the chaos lord on the throne isn't taken into account at all in the rules. This is supposed to be some grand ruler of marauders on top of his mighty beast and he doesn't even get attacks, let alone any sort of leadership. I'd have preferred the mammoth be 400pts with some attacks from the chaos lord, maybe the hero keyword, def a command ability. Alas though, its still good value for the pts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great distraction as it’s very ‘hitty’ in potential. But to be honest the actual damage output wasn’t amazing in my games. Still useful though! Just not amazing. If you like the model I would definitely paint it and field it a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Daark Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 giants are huge fun! don't rely on it to do anything and you'll have a barrel of laughs with it. Far too erratic if you're relying on it to win you tournament points. I do agree that the siege giant is very good though, but just as unpredictably volatile.
