But at 38 points a pop, and a range of 30cm, these are not exactly Long
Range Cheap Units. The best way of dealing with them is to hit em with
Blast Markers so they stop moving, then go to 40cm and blow them away.
It's easier if you have 35 pt Land Raiders.
One difference in E40K is that Warlords or whatever NEED SUPPORT.

Have a look at J.Michael Looney's home page. Basically, a Mekboy Gargant
has the Eldar Titan type of save, rather than void/power shields. It
behaves a lot like the old SM2 one in practice, ie invulnerable until
suddenly ... POP.
As for NetEpic... IMHO it's just too darn complicated, with special
rules galore. It doesn't cover Human Bombs, Cyboars etc either. Still,
if not for E40K, I'd recommend it. As it is, I have a great deal of
admiration and respect for all those who made it. "You're a better man
than me, Gunga Din."
