BrocknerTheBear

@kingbrodd trying to find the motivation to do the final push on my troggs to get them done. They were originally going to the AOS doubles in june but that got cancelled and I slowly put them to the side.

I'm more thinking the release time frame (price isn't a big issue for me as I only ever make 1K forces - easily distracted)

That's the bundle of three? Its definately a good shout. I've all but resigned myself to them being my christmas army at this point haha

@kingbrodd you've been waiting a while for those havnt you?

Gargants are back in stock on the UK GW site. The banner says out of stock but once you click on the gargant it says add to cart

Well I'm hoping it's all in september along with the lumineth as october is the release of the new 40k necron and space marine books and models.

So they will obviously have plaid shirts and thier leader will be paul bunyan! Haha its definately a faction that can be modeled heavily and easily isn't it? Another member of my gaming group plans to do blind frost gargants. Another plans all siege gargants covered in armour and wielding hammers and mauls. Models so large give such canvas for creativity.

Well no matter what I'm going kraken eater with three small gargants. Planning a very heavily "fishermen" theme with lots of chopped up idoneth beasts and nets etc.

Ideally the drops should have been far more extreme I agree. The troggboss is a 200 - 240 hero at most (mostly due to his ability to make troggs battleline) The dankhold is a 160 - 180 unit and the basic two troggs types would both be fine at 120. The battalion is a difficult one as too cheap and we have an easy 1 drop army. But really 100 - 120 is the correct area I feel. Mollog should go to 120 and the troggoth hag needs to drop by at least 60 points. Oh well.....I guess we keep bashing things with clubs till they listen eh troggs?

@a74xhx well that's....um...hmm

I'd like a pack like the ogor dice but with one massive footprint for the 6 haha

Guess this is to stop the 4+ 5+ 6+ madness some units can do as after damage saves so i'm assuming this means : take save roll - failed - take disgusting resilience roll

Couldn't agree more! And when the first reveal video (the story book) was announced I got such a similar vibe that someone at GW must have watched it and thought..."this is a good shout"

If gotrek is anything to go by then most likely. Limit of one but you cant take any other allies type deal.

Indomitus will go on preorder for two weeks. So there needs to be something along side it to be released on the 18th. Odds are it will likely be something small so as not to detract from the big release of 9th edition. As desperate as we all are for the sons, I think @KingBrodd is right and we will be in for a lengthy wait. So in the meantime I'm gonna go watch jack the giant slayer for some conversion inspiration.

@Bululu this might be a little odd, but did the sons of behemat feature in any of the artwork or model photos of the GHB? It would be a good indicator for thier original release time.

@HollowHills Due to the current playable lists all being heavily reliant on eels and volturnous I dont think they could avoid an increase to force the use of other units. I know this isn't actually the fix that's needed at all and the points shown currently do nothing to help the situation either, but as all people ever see is eels the feedback will most likely have been negative and forced an increase. I'm sorry my friend, but I think they're about to be hit.

On the maths it looks like you could run one unit of 3 gargants, 2 mega gargants and 3 individual gargants. That way you have the potential to leave models behind on objectives and still have a brutal spearhead to ram into your opponent. But lets be honest we all want three mega gargants right?

@KingBrodd Wake up man!! This is the dawn of your time!

The maximum unit counting as 3 battleline is I think intended to give some use at lower point value games. Either way it's a very nice mechanic. Thanks @Bululu you've made a bunch of lumbering behemoths very happy

Absolutely that! Lots of cloaks, crossbows and axes

I think seeing as elves now have mountain spirits etc there is room for a dwarves race that's more ranger/hunter style that live in giant underground caverns and root systems. Turn both armies on thier heads

I agree with @KingBrodd that they were most likely to released in june ahead of new 40k. And as others have said as it's such a small (chuckle) release it could well be slotted in between 40k releases so we dont have to wait too long. On that note however, am I the only one being looked at funny in thier local gaming sphere for not wanting the new 40k box and instead saving for more gargants?

We've seen FW models get adjusted before so hopefully they will bring her down. As a 2 cast wizard she would be absolutely on points. But as the 1 cast that she is its just too much by a good 60-80 points.
