Re: Help me see the value of a giant

Thanks guys. The absorb dice range is definitely a factor - but as already noted, it's only one more die and two more inches than a moroghuruc. They also both have exactly the same weapon rules. Yes, its mass is higher (14) but the moroghurruc's mass is 12, which is already higher than almost every...

Re: Help me see the value of a giant

Lee, for what I can advise you have two options. 1. Cool massive single model in a giant which will not be necessarily consistent in what it does across games because he is one model and can be effected by more variables of what your opponent fields. 2. Multiple smaller models which have less punch ...

Re: Help me see the value of a giant

I'm confident it has opportunities to throw out more damage than the oak beast. lower skill yes but far less vulnerable to magic overall, powers your wizards up and mostly higher stats.

Not a cheap model to field but just requires more finesse

Re: Help me see the value of a giant

Don’t look at base size look at its Mass. given the giant can grab with its sword he can grab more things.

Look at my Draiggoch, I came 2nd with a model that is more expensive than the giant. Often it’s how you use the model than its face value stats. Additionally, rule of cool.
