So I'm painting barbarian giants.
Cos... giants. Hitting things with.. erm... TREES.
(With the extra cav I've assembled they bring me up to 3000 points of Barbarians)
War giants are supposed to live on bases that are 5x5 inches. Which is *bonkers*. They'll be impossible to move around the table.
Is anyone going to object if I stick him on a 3x3 inch base?
Realistically the only thing this affects is the number of people who can pile onto him in combat and we could always just include the extras...

Stick him on a 3x3 base and have a card template to slip underneath for gaming?

When a group wraps around a large target does it become disorganised?

Bloody hell. Thats going to create some grief. With that worth and that strength every turn is going to wipe a unit. 21 dice each attack. With that strength bonus only 1 in 6 successful hits will not get a kill.
I would say its a game beaker

Well. This is why it's SEVEN HUNDRED points -- it's the most expensive thing in the game...
You have read the army lists to see what bonkers things are available?
Undead war mammoths? Mercenary dragons? &c.
I've got half-giants as well!!

I'd be happy to face it in a special scenario like a campaign climax. I feel like an enormous monstrosity like that would be, like, a known factor in its region of the mountains, as was Smaug or (to a lesser extent) Shelob.
Old maps and inebriated sages would often cryptically mention the "lord of hair" "the light sleeper" or "mother earth's furious drunk uncle" and the youth would scoff, or an overconfident merchant would insist it was just a hokey old legend designed to warn the credulous away from the region's untapped mineral wealth. A prudent commander would stay away from the misted region.
But war does not always favour the prudent. And in the campaign season when the glaciers recede, that high, distant pass might prove too tempting a stratagem for an impetuous officer keen to redeem last year's setbacks.
In other news, the forces of the Topaz Throne stand ready for another match. Anyone game?

Special scenario. Pfaf.
The massed tribes of the plains are bringing him along when we show up to give Elves a well deserved kicking. We're just short some horse archers at the moment. Laggards.

Thanks Katie.
Looks like aa a start but doesn't ring true to me. I remember seeing a breakdown on how to cost units. Might have a go at fleshing out my concepts are seeing what oeople think.

Thats the one.
On the list to retrofit is terrifying and linebreaker.
Crew wise i see a driver , a stoker and two rat swarms.
Also i have in mind an interesting failure mode: explode , run away out of control , or even just breakdown for a number of turns. Say roll one dice ,add the number of failed saves ,and minus one if omens are good.

Rats mounted on giant spiders. High Elf kebab it shall be.
