Great Gargant Datasheet

After a few delays, the Mighty Great Gargant (brought to you by Peter over at In The Grim Cheapness of the Future) is ready to hit the battlefield. All it needs are a few rules, so at long last here they are!      

WS:4  BS:2  S:10  ARMOR 14/13/13  I:1  A:2  HP:24

Unit: 1 Great Gargant 

Type: Super Heavy Walker

• Supa Force Field:  5+ Save vs. ALL shooting attacks, including "D"

• Grot Riggers

•  Huge Effigy: All Orks within 24" are Fearless. If Gargant is destroyed all Orks

            within 24" must make a leadership check. Units that fail are pinned.

• Capacity: 70 Models.

• Fire Points: 8 Front, 4 each Side, 6 Rear

• Access Points: One at the rear.

The Great Gargant must have two arm weapons:

• Mega Kannon                        

• Twin Deth Kannon

• Cluster Kannon

• Kombi-Ripper Arm                  

The Great Gargant may have up to four secondary weapons:

• Cluster Rokkit Launcha

• Flakk Gunz

• Heavy KillKannon

• Mega Gatler

• Gaze of Mork

• Supa-Flamer

• Lobba Battery

Also, up to six Supa Rokkits may be added, plus six Big Shootas.

A Gut Buster Belly Kannon may be taken, but the transport is reduced to 30 models. 

Notes:

The stats for the weapons can be found here.

Being an Ork work, it is more a fluff-based feel of the weapons fit rather than a constructive set of design rules. 

The one large change I did bring was the swapping of the Ork Power Fields for a Force Field. Back in the distant past Power Fields worked like Void Shields. The gargant would start out with a number of them but once they were knocked down, they stayed down for the battle. 

Now that Super Heavies really only lose Hull Points, it seemed like extra bookkeeping for no real gain. Orks are known for their use of Force Fields, which fluctuate wildly from completely impregnable to non-existent. It works very well in place of the old Power Fields, and is far easier to keep track of.
