Why? When you have so much more to play with and a Giant is just a huge cannon/arror magnet? I hardly use my giant these days (when i do get a chance to play) just because he gets shot up so fast that he never sees combat.. and when he doesn't get shot up.. he still doesn't see much combat but instead just causes terror and everything just runs away.. and that is very rare that this happens..
Just my 2 cents.. Cheers Gris

I have a massive orc and goblin army and often go with just Gobbos. Having a giant is great as it does soak up the arrows and cannon shots so some of the rest of the army sometimes gets across the borad in one piece. Also terror is useful and the special attacks are hilarious (especially 'down the trousers').
I've got the last metal one but the newer plastic model looks ace and i'm sorely tempted, but I think I'll be spending my dough on the Guard though!
Ditch the empire though, go green!

I'm thinking of going chaos, so i have two armies that are adverseries. Also their new rules sound SUPER UBER and their models are just awsome!

Here is my take on Giants if your opponent has 1st turn and you don't have your giant in close combat by the end of turn 2. He is prob. going to die. If you have first turn and you don't have him in close combat by the end of your turn 3. He is also prob going to die.
So it depends on how aggressive you're going to be with him too. If he is just a sacrafic so your army as a whole can live then do that. He will be great at it, or do you want him to acctually do a lot of stuff in CC for your army so CC is easier for you?
