Gargantuan movement through difficult Terrain

[1swarmlord]

Hello there,

is there an update on the GC movement like the super heavy walker movement in the errata that just came out somewhere else? (when moving through difficult terrain?)

[N.I.B.]

Yes.

[gigasnail]

that's a negative, ghost rider. the update was for SH walkers only. i just checked again to be sure i wasn't derping.

In the old apoc books GC movement told you to copy super heavy walker rules for movement.

I'll look it up now to see if this is still the case...

Nope we just follow MC rules now so once again have been overlooked.

[N.I.B.]

Sorry, my derp.

I don't think so anymore. I think it is on purpose. I believe that GW believes that 'nids are more effective than they actually are.

If that was the case you'd think they would clarify it that way.

My group house ruled to double movement of the roll since last editions apoc.

I will have to talk to my group about that, doesn't make sense that a walker can out move a hierodule or hierophant!

Despite anyone's take on 'FW legality' etc... the reality is the 40K design team has pointedly ignored the existence of FW models, rules, etc. Thus the only GC that basic/standard/whatever-you-want-to-call-non-FW 40K is the Harridan. Thus no reason for them to need to address the issue at this point.

with all the changes with more FW included in the game you think they would address such an obvious overlook!

Transcendent C'tan is also a GC, and that's a GW plastic kit.

Either they don't want GCs to match SHWs, or it wasn't frequently asked enough (i.e. they forgot).

Best thing to do, barrage them with the question. Already sent it in.

Ah... so it is... (but its so small... and so broken...)

Okay, nevermind.
