Description

The Gargant is a daunting foe to the enemies of the Motherland. It is as advanced as it is deadly. The warjack is designed to fight as a moving weapons platform, combining each impressive armaments, its extension chain axe and shield together with its two intergrated Stub cannons make the Gargant as deadly at range as it is in melee.

Built upon the chassis of a Devestator, the grenade launching systems have been replaced by a pair of powerful medium ranged cannons that fire continously as the Gargant crashes its way through the battlefield. While difficult to repair and reload, the weapon is resistant to damage and its mechanisms stored safely beneath layers of armor plating, this ensures that it will continue firing up until the moment that the Gargant is finally scrapped. Kommanders often place the Gargant at the head of assaults, spiked warshield and chain axe are perfect for clearing away even the most stubborn of opposition.

The reach of the Gargant has caught many of Khador's foes offguard. The massive warjack can unleash its giant axe fired by pistons and propel it several yards towards an enemy. The Cygnaran Military has a long list of reports concerning scrapped Lancers and Centurions whose shields and defencive measures provided no protection against the Gargants deadly axe.

Concept Notes

Anti-everything jack. Powerful and tenacious, the Gargant is a workhorse jack that blows apart enemy infantry before desending in to finish it off with crushing axe blows. Its chain axe is the perfect weapon for catching and blowing away stray enemy models or arc node jacks tottering around the edge of the battlefield. When its movement or cortex is disabled, it can still advance and put out an impressive number of attacks by throwing its axe and firing both of its guns on the same activation.
