The rules for a third Sons of Behemat Mega-Gargant have been teased, so check out Big Drogg Fort-Kicka, the Gatebreaker Gargant.
Age of Sigmar’s Facebook teased another named Gatebreaker Gargant’s rules. Standing next to a crowd of Nighthaunts, it looks like he’ll be the Death Alliance’s special Gargant muscle. But before we check out Big Drogg Fort-Kicka, let’s go over the other named Gargants we’ve seen.
Rumor is they will go on pre-order for October 10th to coincide with the upcoming Sons of Behemat story by author Graeme Lyon
Bundo Whalebiter Kraken-eater Rules
From Age of Sigmar’s Facebook:
For Bundo Whalebiter, he’s had a rule revealed showing how he’s unique over other Kraken-eater Gargants. Dead Cunning, For a Gargant is a way for him to get max damage on his attacks, at the cost of fighting last.
This ability is powerful in the right circumstance. Obviously, you’d want to fight first if you’re going against something like a Mangler Squig that’s about to tear you a new one. However, if your opponent is just trying to tarpit you with some Clanrats or something that has high model count but horrible damage output, you can fight last. That way when your turn does come around to fight, you’ll swat away whatever is at your feet.
One-Eyed Grunnock Warstomper Rules
From Age of Sigmar’s Facebook:
For the Warstomper, it looks like the named version (One-Eyed Grunnock) is going to be for Chaos only.
Chaos forces can recruit Warstomper Mega-Gargants to their cause, taking advantage of both their massive strength and the Shake the Earth ability!
As far as the rule, Shake The Earth goes, it’s a great way to disrupt your enemy’s forces. The Warstomper is probably best used as a wrecking ball unit that you throw into the area of the map with the most congestion. If he gets to make his Jump Up and Down attacks, he rerolls hits of 1 and also gives every enemy around him -1 to hi within 6″. That can potentially be a brutal NERF. Plus, the fact that it only affects enemy units is a major plus.
Big Drogg Fort-Kicka: Named Gatebreaker Gargant Rules Spotted
So this guy is called a Gatebreaker Gargant, so what would you expect his rules to be? Some kind of cool smash attack that wrecks buildings? No. His special rule is Grievous Halitosis which is literally “Terrible Breath”.
This is another model that you’ll want to throw into a crowd of tarpit models. Something like Clanrats, Plaguebearers, Stabbas, etc. Once you pick a unit within 3″, you also count every model in that unit within 3″ of this model’s base. Then you roll a D6 for each one and on a 6+, you do a mortal wound.
Rolling it out, if there are 15 models within 3″, which is reasonable for a horde unit trying to gob up a Gargant, you’ll roll 15 D6. We rolled this out three separate times and in each instance, we did 1MW, 2MW, and 4MW. The damage just doesn’t seem to be there to cause any game-shifting effects.
This CAN be very strong if your opponent is dumb enough to fully wrap the model in something like 40 Grots. But in reality, this is probably the weakest of the Gargant rules we’ve seen. We’re not saying this guy is going to be bad because we’ve literally just seen one rule for the dude. He could have a bonkers statline. But this rule just seems a little gimmicky. Although the name is super flavorful.
