Well you've never seen them in my hands. Sure, it can soak up a good
amount of firepower, but the amount it takes isn't much more than a Great
Gargant can take. Plus apart from the Mega-Weapons (which you can fire D3
of a turn) and the MekBoy Weapons (which you can fire ONE of a turn), the
weapons on the Mega-WasteOfPoints suck. And in the Ork army, the weapons
on the Gargants have always been longer ranged than most Ork weapon anyhow
as the Gargants SUPPORT the infantry. As you have a very limited number of
Gargants, the issue of too many longer-ranged weapon is not much of an
issue. I know I use my Gargants as long-range support. Sure the Orks are
a CC army, but the way it is now, the Mega-Gargant SUCKS. I'd rather spend
1400 points elswhere and all the other Ork players I've talked to agree
with me.
