Battle Engine or Colossal?

[MagnustheJust]

Ha, love it. Actually, anyone know just how big that pig is? Possibilities for cool conversions

It's not very big... the whole model is on a 50mm base. Also, if I remember right, hte pig is not separate from the catapult arm.

[Hoyled]

Actually it is seperate. I remember having to glue the thing on.

[MagnustheJust]

Maybe one of us saw the earlier/later version... ???

[Hoyled]

Ill have to pull it out of my car tomorrow and double check. I do know that the fat pig is mostly resin with the hands being metal.

all I can say is, if I don't like the models they give us... here's my proxy http://banelegions.maelstromgames.co.uk/?tag=bnb-026

Slight flaws with that model -

- twice the storage space
- cost more than 2 Blackhides

[Hoyled]

That is a lovely piece of resin. If we get something that looks like that Id definitly buy it, regardless of rules.

ummm... correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all BE/colossals going to be twice the storage space and cost more than two blackhides?

[MagnustheJust]

Pardon... Slight bout of cranial flatulence.

Was thinking you meant as a Blackhide, not a BE...

Actually most cavalry in the game is awesome with the right caster and support. Just like anything else. Most people don't pick it up because cavalry is expensive, difficult to assemble, and takes time to paint. I would love to see pigs riding cyber pigs or cyber pigotaurs it would be a life changing event for me..

This seems too cool for PP not to pursue. A Doc A creation fits into the lore well. Pigotaurs! This is genius.

[Dragoneye9]

Just a point of fact isn't Strum and Drang a pigutar already?

[Hoyled]

More or less, minus any cavalry rules.

I just realized after looking in the troll forum... that not having a Gargantuan has a huge advantage: No disappointment! So flesh us more out, PP, while taking the critics to your heart and make our first gargantuan a real hit! So that everyone can say: "Minions have a tough time option-wise, but their gargantuans are first class!"

[TheLoki]

****. I was saying the same thing in skype earlier. We get the amazing benefit of letting the big 4 deal with the gargant growing pains. Besides. Zombie bogtrogs. If that doesnt make your junk wiggle even a little bit i don't want to associate with you

[Sellsword]

yeah, I'm glad that we aren't on the front lines of it, but I so did want a Godzilla to rampage across the table

[Hoyled]

I was guessing the troll gargantuan was going to be the underwhelming one. Still be nice to get one after the others have been dragged out and playtested.

We're already benefitting from being the second mercenary force.

[TheLoki]

Agreed. Once we see the second Gargant however we can get a pretty decent feel for how they will flow.

[Fenrisulfr]

So, I want the gargantuan to be Farrow...

now follow me on this...

instead of having a piggy on a cd I want a, honest to odin, baby pig.

the rules are you get free strikes but it has constant trample with knockdown, it can attack your own units it gets advance deploy and a new special rule that is something like free move so you don't have to worry about holding the pig down. It's epic gun is pig ****, anytime the pig ****s on the table 6 inch aoe pow 12 and it causes fear.

that is my dream...

Carver and a baby pig.
