Got a game in last night against dptdexys and his lost and the damned, I took the following:

FIGHTA-BOMMERS [150] 3 Fighta-Bommers
FIGHTA-BOMMERS [150] 3 Fighta-Bommers
dptdexys took something close to the following:
DAEMON POOL [140] Greater Daemon, 6 Lesser Daemon
COVEN [385] Daemonic Pact, 11 Cultists, Daemon Prince (Arch Heretic), (Slaanesh), 2 Technical, 5 Land Transporter, Chaos Hounds
COVEN [325] Daemonic Pact, 11 Cultists, Demagogue, (Slaanesh), 2 Technical, 5 Land Transporter
COVEN [325] Daemonic Pact, Demagogue, 11 Cultists, (Slaanesh), 2 Technical, 5 Land Transporter
COVEN [325] Daemonic Pact, Demagogue, 11 Cultists, (Slaanesh), 2 Technical, 5 Land Transporter
SLAANESH SCOUT TITANS [275] Questor
SLAANESH SCOUT TITANS [225] Subjugator
SLAANESH SCOUT TITANS [225] Subjugator
SLAANESH SCOUT TITANS [225] Subjugator
SLAANESH DAEMON KNIGHTS [275] 4 Daemon Knights
SLAANESH DAEMON KNIGHTS [275] 4 Daemon Knights
I only managed a single pic (attached) which was well into the game
I managed to reduce the subjugator threat to a single one who took 4 DC off my BTS gargant, but thanks to the prodigious number of dice rolled in support fire from the two neighbouring gargants, I won the big combined engagement on my BTS gargant.
In the end of T4 I had managed a very satisfying kill ratio, for the loss of 6DC on my BTS gargant and a single fighta bomber, I had destroyed 2 subjugators, a questor, 7 daemon knights, reduced two covens to a handful of stands and wiped out everything in his BTS barring the daemon prince who wisely elected to flee and hide where none of my TK weapons could see him
I had taken the T&H objectives in the centre and finally managed to destroy the screening knights covering his blitz objective, however the only gargant in range was my BTS, down to 4DC (thanks to the extra armour upgrade) and with a blast marker and no re-roll I was not confident of his ability to march to the blitz, so I opted to double and scream 'push em arder ladz!' which caused two fires.... you can imagine how much I laughed in the end phase when I rolled snake eyes for the fires, caused two additional ones and the gargant went up in a mighty explosion, snatching a winning draw from the jaws of victory.... I'm not even mad, that kind of crap is meant to happen to gargants, and after my obscene luck all game, it was only right that I exploded my gargant and cost myself the win
Thoughts
OGBM - list feels good, the mega lobba is brilliant, it gives you the two templates you really need while only taking up a single weapon slot, and as you're usually needing 6's and 7's to hit, the lack of MW doesn't matter that much, I felt it was a well needed shot in the arm for the list, firepower wise
The grot missiles were fantastic for me, I managed to hit with all 4 in a volley which immolated a subjugator before it could get stuck in, and the gargant had a mega lobba to keep shooting and then mostly ran around getting involved in engagements
The supa stompas having access to all the gargant weapons makes them pretty damn potent, especially as a lucky roll with extra armour means you can potentially have a 7DC war engine with comparable firepower to a gargant stomping around for a little over half the price of a regular gargant..... maybe they should have a weaker 'lobba' weapon option which is just 3BP.... or maybe they're fine, after all I've played one game so far with the new list!
LatD - List is done IMO, it's just great, I really love the hordes of cultists and vast amounts of daemons they can spit out..... everyone should work to get it approved, it's great and I love it
