Gargant Feature

The Imperium of Man aren’t the only ones who can build a mountainous monstrosity of a war machine. Let’s see how the Orks throw down in the Titan game!

Orks may not have technology on their side but they make up for that with determination and brazen disregard for personal safety. Come and learn about the Titans of the Ork world!

Via LexicanumOrk Titans

Not as technologically advanced as their Imperial and Eldar counterparts, Gargants are still fully capable of destroying the Titans of other races. Like many products of Orkoid military engineering, the Gargant relies on a combination of comparatively simple technology and devastating heavy firepower, an attitude summed up by Boss-Mek Badlug One-Leg in his oft-quoted dictum “S’gorra be dead shooty, wiv loadza gunz all over.Gargant

Ork Gargants do not have sophisticated mind impulse units like Human and Eldar Titans. Instead, the Gargant’s Kaptin must rely on bellowing his orders down a speaking tube so that his officers will move the Gargant and fire its weapons as he wishes. Repair crews are composed of Gretchin, whose small build suits them to crawling through cramped spaces armed with wrenches and oily rags.Gargant Art

The Gargant was first designated as an Ork war-machine during Commissar Yarrick‘s crusade to hunt down Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka on Golgotha. It was here that Gargants, and smaller variants designated Stompas, fought against Imperial Titans and Guard regiments The Gargants were found to be a potent match for even the Emperor-class Titans fielded by Yarrick, but despite their power one was felled by Yarrick’s commandeered Baneblade, the Fortress of Arrogance.Orks Glyph
