'''WE’RE ON THE HIGHWAY TO HELL!!!''' The brass scorpion is an awesome unit, embodying everything which is cool about forge world. It looks awesome, is incredibly unique and has some awesome rules to go with it, but at the same time it all makes sense together. It’s a giant scorpion built out of the souls of the damned with pincers the size of tanks, fuck the space marines, gw should use this for their advertising.

Tabletop wise, the GBS excels at whatever you want it to do. You want it to shoot stuff? It will do that fairly well. You want it to fight in melee? It’s a giant fuck off scorpion! It will outright annihilate anything smaller than itself (although the prick that is guilliman will still refuse to die) and does reasonable damage against Titans. Do you want a distraction carnifex? Once again, it’s a giant, fuck off scorpion, what do you think your opponent is going to do when they see it?

The one thing to be careful about with the GBS is that it isn’t cheap. Yes it will win fights, but if you’re not careful it will only get to have one fight, and to make back it’s cost you want it to be fighting multiple times a game.
