wouldn't the ballista do 55 damage?

my dragon + 500 pt filler vs 1 LG ballista band and a CG stormarcher

wasn't pretty.. i basically got pincusioned

I havent tried it yet - but this seems just strange enough that it might work.

Dragon Totem Hero, 2x Bluespawn Godslayers, 2x Elf Pyromancers (for elemental immunities for the BSGS) and 2x Bonded Fire Summoners... but not for "activation control"

I want the summoners so I can pick where the GBD is gonna land / attack my guys from.4x4 bases are hard to land.. so tossing a dozen or so small fire elementals kinda keeps it contained and allows my "manuverable" huges to get in close and personal.. with some clever placement you could even prevent the tail swipe from moving the model. My biggest concern is that there isnt enough damage output.. its what? 140 max a turn from the BSGS's?

Opinions?   

Used the map from the product.

Meepo is surprisingly useful. Note that the dragon's breath has to target the nearest figure... this restricts its usefulness if you spread the figures out a bit. Once the dragon is based by Tordek, if Meepo stands 6 squares away, it's a real pain to get to a useful breath position.

Cheers!

I got a gargantuan black the other week, but havn't used it yet, mostly because me and my friend have a very limited collection and I know for certain that it could chew its way through anything that we could throw together...if I had to face it using my current collection something like dual formorian with maybe a purple worm for poisoning the thing would be what I used. Does that sound workable?

I have reach good results against the gargantuan with fomorians,orc druid,wardrummer and drider sorcerer but always have lost against it.The problem is its crush ability.Tordek is the best choice against it but it,s very,very hard to pass the save even using cleric of order.It,s a matter of luck most of times.Arcane ballista is one of my favourite pieces in the last times (with couatl and warweaver).

Oh,I have a question for you.Please,could you let me to put my own photo instead the others?It will be funny for me and if you do not mind....Even if you can,t do it,thank you.Bye

I've got to say that beating the GBD is really an accomplishment. After I got one, a friend of mine and I played several warbands against the bugger, and it lost not once. That move and crush is brutal, and the tail slap is very effective. DC 28.....yeah that save gets made alot.

Eberk gave the group +1 AC and +1 Save before being slain. :)

Cheers!

Gargantuan Black Dragon

A new 500 pt creature that's supposed to take on 500 pt warbands, but it usually trounces them pretty soundly.
