I've always loved a red beard (biased to my own) but his paint scheme is incredible and over the Bad Moon that they have Jump up and down!! 15 minutes ago, novakai said: yep it looks like we have to wait another week (and three weeks for them to actually get our hands on them) but it all good Unfortunately so, we all had the feeling it was coming as soon as those 40K sheets were leaked I feel. No worries though as we have next weekend and week to look forward to as theyll announce pre orders for the 10th!! Hopefully we get at least 3 articles before the Sons drop on their long awaited 17th release day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a74xhx Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) So Order, Death and Chaos get a max of one behemat (as they are named leaders!). But Destruction might be able to have all 3! Unless there is an extra restriction we don't know of. Looks like 40+40+20 stabbas + 3 gargants might be possible after all!

KingBrodd Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Cannot wait to see an alternate angle of the Gatebreakers flail to see just how large it is!! Also whatever is strapped to the Warstompers back, I think it's a Ghorgon/Cygor head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to remember these are just added little abilities unique to each Alliance. We've yet to see the full lists of the Megas so in conjunction with other parts of the lists they could end up being very useful. Another thing to remember and I dont mean to sound rude, is that the Megas are a Mercenary unit and they are optional. The Sons of Behemat are their own army and GW could have of chosen not to allow them to ally with anyone but Destruction if they wished. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A -1 to hit is always nice. And a better chance at getting it even better. Anti horde that works on 6's just falls flat most of the time. Especially if it has to happen with such a small radius.

Moogypies Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Some lovely Art.

redbirdhouse Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Man. I wish I could get behind these guys. I love the idea of few, hyper-elite models just rampaging around the board, but I cannot stand GW's art style when it comes to giants. Making them have such fat stomachs and dopey heads.. I wish they weren't so comical in their look. It's a real shame. I'm happy for those that do enjoy them, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love everything about that picture. Look at those dynamicly moving stormcast. Give us these poses for Stormcasts GW so my Gargants can break them.😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmaster Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I like all those details that give you a feel of just HOW huge they are. Using breastplates as finger protection and siege cannon barrels to strengthen their clubs. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogypies Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Picked up yet another giant, our group has a 48 hours started collecting challenge this weekend coming with a theme of cyberpunk so, I'll have to bash him up to fit the theme in some way. 1 Gargant counts as a start collecting set right? This will be gargant #14 of the collection. Edited September 30, 2020 by Moogypies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutlord Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Well I imagine we're going to be seeing a mega gargant warscroll pretty soon.....ive been looking at the bone grinder warscroll and for 400 pts you get quite a powerful unit......cant wait to see what these 590 pt monsters bring to the party. I mean we gotta be talking at least 20 wounds each with some serious hitting power.....I'm saying damage 6 on club attacks when taken 0-4 wounds 💪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to point out, that the body of the gargant on the left looks like a warstomper but his club is packed wirh canons like the krakeneater ones.

I wonder if a whole army of swinginess could work. Or how they will make them more reliable. Another problem is the degrading wounds system. They have to balance it so that the effectiveness of the whole army is not halved after every Gargant has just taken a few wounds.
