So, has anyone *ever* seen one of these spacecraft taken?

With the 3+ initiative, is there really any need for it to be "slow and steady"?  Would be cool to see an Ork drop army on occasion, but it's a completely unrealistic option as it is now.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Which means you'll have a *Gargant* off board for the first two turns and have a 1-in-3 chance of it not coming in Turn 3 either... that *really* doesn't seem to be worth it to me.

i could see something like mini roks that are trying to actually hit enemy formations that scatter badly most of the time, spitting out orks and kans.

Can I suggest the old Crimson Fists' nemesis, Luggub's Drop Legion back from Rogue Trader days? I can get the relevant army list pages if you want.

That would be great...

But we still haven't addressed the craptacularness of the Battlekroozer... *laugh*

Deslowandsteadifying (*pant*) with a slight price increase looks like the most logical option there.

I'd break out my Orks to playtest it if I didn't have to get my marines into shape for Ropecon at the end of the month.

Yes I've seen one. Which makes it more common than the IG battleship :)

Slow and steady?

Red wunz go faster.



How about make it more likely to appear, but might overshoot the battlefield? (Just dropping in?)

That's what the 3+ initiative would represent... *laugh*
