Am I missing something, or is it intentional for the list to not have the mob up rule, nor to have the +2 to double/engage?

Some gaming experience with this list from last turney in Germany:
Not from me i only act as translator.
Quote:
Three games:

1. 3:0 lost against Space Wolves
The Mega-Gargant was down to 1DC due to a double punch of two Terminator formationsin drop pods.
2. 3:0 lost against Speed Freaks
Mega-Gargant was destroyed in intense close combat agaonsthordes of Orks.
3. undecided against Necrons
This resulted in unbelievable luck of dice rolls else the OGBM would have lost.

Result: Army looks good but is total crap.
Mega-Gargant is to expensive but doesn't absorbs asmuchdamage as the Great Gargant. To low on activations - holdingof Objectives is nearly impossible with this low formations count. The list is composed poorly with a lot of unclear language.
Compared to previeus incarnationof this list a clearstep backwards.

A great gargant and a mega gargant in one list?
I'm surprised he didn't lose all three games.

You can't take two gargants of that cost and then complain about a low activation count. You just can't.

I do think of Gargant list as one mainly played for fun. If I ever was going to field it in tournie then it would only be with 2 Gargants, 4 Supa Stompas and pair of Fighta Bommerz. Playing a Mega grgant would be only be because you the model and it looks cool.

Cheers

Oh, yes, and I think that a 4+save is not enough, 5+ reinforced would be more appropriate.
For a 1050-point-Unit, it died to easily.


Could possibly giving it more DC's help this issue? I see how the reinforced would make it close to unkillable as people have mentioned, what about giving it a couple more DC's so it is killable just last longer? Or is something like this out of the question as it has 16 DC's and power fields as is?

Every mega gargant list I've seen has then blitzed on other big stuff too.

Was thinking of a new modification, each Gargant type could open up a different number of non-gargant formations:

- Gargant - 2 non-Gargant formations
- Great Gargant - 3 non-Gargant formation
- Mega Gargant - 4 non-Gargant formations

That'd help getting more of the cheaper activations into the Mega Gargant list?
