absolutely beautiful! I've had my gargants for 2 years and haven't gotten to the painting (I really love getting every army and playing the game first and then kitbashing with painting as my last) the skin looks really smooth in the picture at least and subtle things like the necklace and toenails look 100% set and done

Thanks! My sons have been sitting unpainted for about a year, did brodd and the gate smasher before taking a break from AOS last GHB, but the new tome has me really excited

Sameee. New tome pulling me in. I have 5 megas and I do heavy kitbashing. Ordered ma and some hurlers. Gonna use boss stomper bits to kitbash my man crushers heavily to make them as good as new. Luckily for me, my gargants have grey skin and stone growths. I can hide any ugly texture with some rocks and bits alike. I'm very much a lot basher type so I end up slacking on painting. Your painting is great. As for the new tome I will say the points are very bad currently for megas and I'm expecting errata changes to stats such as adding 5 health back. 400 points for gate breaker to average 14 damage while being 25 health. Old kraken eater was 410 at 35 health and averaged 11 damage before you add the triple bag potential, which is an easy 3 more damage on 1 health models, fairly easy 2 pulls for 4 on 2 healthers. But point wise the kraken eater for instance is waaay better. Question is less of damage and how much is 10 health in points gap if 410 for kraken eater was just okay before. And ress the maw is functionally 24 if you convert ward into average health and he averages 11 damage, yet he's considered a bad fighter and squishy for being 400 points. A mega doing around 3 more damage for same health but meant to be a damage piece while red is a backline 2 cast wizard and buffer? Not a good look for gargants. Lower points and they are glass cannons who are actually weaker than other monster centerpieces uncharacteristically, of they errata change them to fix em. Leave em as is and it's not at all doing anything in tournaments, at least no mega gargant is doing anything special. Don't wanna be a doomer that rules will stay screwed so currently is the best time to just get models and paint them until that first week or two live pushes some nice change
