--------> It's a good idea and I've played with it a little, though only
using 3 forts. I think 5 would be better, though if you're opponent
isn't used to seeing it, it can disturb them a bit even with one. I'd go
with max forts hauling nobz and skarboyz. A mobile shooty boyz unit
might be nice, too, but I don't know if you need to devote forts to it.

---> I wouldn't put stompas in front of them as the forts will
end up moving 30cm all the time (war engines you know) while the stompas
would have to be on assault orders all the time to keep up.
Battlewagons can work, but I wouldn't worry about it too much as since
you fire at a given detachment, the above units can't really be a part
of the forts detachment anyway.

-------> I'd always field some kind of gargant unless it's a really
small battle. It either draws off nasty fire, or it causes mucho hurt.
Either way is good.
