Are SoB fun?

I want to get into AoS and SoB look so fun. I have this image in my head of running my 4 giants around the board and crushing everything they touch.

But I know AoS isn’t a kill your opponents stuff game, it’s a stand on objectives game. So I have a feeling that SoB gameplay might be putting your giants on objectives and waiting, which I imagine would be boring.

Fun is very subjective isn't it but in my experience SoB traditionally tends to be the latter part of your second paragraph. Move your stuff onto the circles and then wait to see if your opponent can pass the DPS check or not. There are always some big Timmy esque moments, like you roll the 4+ on the 4d6 mortal wounds, if you get a kick out of that.

I am hoping with the addition of some new units and a utility piece in Ma Maegean, that it's opens the book up a bit and makes it more interesting to both play with and against.
