How do you transport your super heavies? Besides "very carefully." Any recommendations on a particular type of case or what have you?

If you're in the UK or Europe, then KR Multicase is a good choice. If you're in the US, I'd recommend buying a Battlefoam case.

For some reason it didn't want me to post this, but here it is.
My last Super Heavy photo.

So, here's a question for other Imperial superheavy owners.

Would it be worth it to invest in a techmarine, a razorback, and some servitors to follow around behind my glaive picking off targets of opportunity and leaping out to put the fix on the glaive if someone manages to endanger it? I've actually already got the techmarine, and there's probably at least one more magnetized rhinorback in my future, but I don't own any servitors, and this would be a good reason to get some.

[Grey Mage]

I own a few Eldar superheavies... I havent felt the need to add one to my Imperial armies just yet really.

My Phantom Titan is armorcast, the model is legitimately as old as I am, within six months give or take... and so its needs alot of TLC and gentle handling. Its also 2500 points! People always want to see it on the field, but honestly I dont feel comfortable fielding it without about 5000pts of support, to few bodies and my turns get boring. Im not fielding it just so you can base the entire game around whether your #### is big enough to kill it or not *rolls eyes*

The smaller titans are nice, and I love my Scorpion- the first superheavy I ever owned. It actually sees more playtime than any other superheavy I know of, simply because its a nicely balanced fireplatform. Its got an accurate D-weapon, a secondairy weapon, and its not unkillable but it is durable enough to see late game or even finish most of the time. I love it.

Its to bad most people dont enjoy FW models, even in escalation... Id love to get my tank out there more often instead of having people whine about the revenants.

No... it really wouldnt.

Why? Because superheavies ignore everything but hull point damage. If youre superheavy is taking HP damage its unlikely to be 1-2 a turn, but rather half or more of its HP in a turn. People concetrate fire ont he big toys... youd need easily 200pts in IG techpriests following it around to try and keep up, if it didnt just blow up a few shots in from weight of fire.

So it's one of those "it never rains - it pours" situations. Either your opponent is whittling it down by so few HPs that you can safely ignore the damage or he's applied so many that you may as well either pick your last target and hope it's contributed enough that you can win or go balls-out and try to blow up whatever it was he used to hurt you so badly. Repairing isn't worth it.
