Gargant

The Ork Gargant is the Ork equivalent of an Imperial Titan. It is a vast war machine. There is no set size for a Gargant, although the smaller ones are more often called Stompas. The armor basically consists of bits of metal of various sizes bolted together and makes the Gargant look like it is wearing a long skirt. Gargants are viewed by the ork race as the truest expression of their gods, Gork and Mork.

Weapons will depend as much on the materials at hand as the orks constructing the Gargant. It may have anything from a Lobba to a Zap Cannon as the primary armaments, and will usually have two of these. In addition, the Gargant will also be able to support many gatling cannons, flamers, and myriad other dealers of death. Like Imperial Titans, most gargants will also have a melee weapon, be it an enormous choppa', Hammah', or some other suitable hacky smashy object.

The Gargant is a source of great pride for a warboss who owns one as it shows a richness in Teef (the Ork currency, and quite literally Ork teeth, though not necessarily his own) and a great Big Mek. These are common with the Kult of Speed and the Bad Moons, though every clan have their preferences of Gargant load-outs.

One of the largest known uses of the Ork Gargant was during the battle for Rynn's World, specifically the siege of New Rynn City. With the cities defenders trapped behind the walls, the innumerable greenskin hordes began construction of six of the mighty war machines, intending to utterly crush the human defenders. After 18 months, the massive machines were finally done, and began to march upon the city. In the nick of time, however, the Crimson Fists were able to secure the space port and make way for fresh imperial reinforcements. Before the Gargants could do much damage, they were enganged and destroyed by the newly-arrived titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
