They are pretty awesome and have the same cool rules. Being s8, w10, t7 and being able to thunderstomp monsters makes it pretty useful. Ain't no spider riders going to stomp that. The rules are in the Storm of Magic.McCraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861597877372124252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-57397452983170222492014-10-15T13:46:04.825+13:002014-10-15T13:46:04.825+13:00Haha, this comment made my dayHaha, this comment made my dayMcCraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861597877372124252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-85397691155762206582014-10-15T12:20:49.506+13:002014-10-15T12:20:49.506+13:00I had a game against Jeff once when I thought he w...I had a game against Jeff once when I thought he was using a giant, then I eventually realised it was just him standing on the table for a better look.

I also have a 3-headed monstrosity chaos giant, and a regular one per your picture. No longer good value for money either as model or as points. Not even fun in a fluffy list any more. Lost the danger element. Much like spawn. When last did you see a chaos list featuring either ? They were well and truly nerfed by 8th ed, and having no save makes them soft as feather down.Herman van Kradenburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436600778513944817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-20549012184436238182014-10-15T11:53:59.039+13:002014-10-15T11:53:59.039+13:00Last time I run a Giant was when i still owned an ...Last time I run a Giant was when i still owned an Orc and Goblin army around the middle of 7th edition. i.e. before i found i wondrous goodness that is Dwarfs and High Elves.<br /><br />I used to regularly run a single giant. He most memorable moment was charging a lance of knights, then jumping up and down on them, killing the entire unit in one go.

They are actually cheaper than a single sabretusk under that comp so probably tells you something! It was fun to use one but pretty terrible. I had one opportunity to eat a dwarf lord and forced a pop test on some fiends before ultimately dying both times! gas_monkey82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01172828988506275382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-49595241920858660272014-10-14T15:50:09.246+13:002014-10-14T15:50:09.246+13:00I fought against one in a club game in 2012, I kil...I fought against one in a club game in 2012, I killed it with spider riders.....Jeff Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12568554852606287519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-63263740146279103442014-10-14T15:42:24.506+13:002014-10-14T15:42:24.506+13:00I used one at Homecon 2013, and it was beyond awfu...I used one at Homecon 2013, and it was beyond awful.Lockynoreply@blogger.com
