The rumbling you hear in the distance is something Huge coming your way.
Against the Giants will be our third foray into Huge miniatures. For this set, we've once again reexamined how figures are distributed across the rarities. As in War of the Dragon Queen, there are six uncommon Huge figures and six rare Huge figures, with a rare Huge being found on average in one out of three boosters. We've changed how the other figures are distributed, too. In addition to the 12 Huge figures in the set, there are 18 rares, 21 uncommons, and 9 commons. In a single booster, you'll find one Huge figure (uncommon or rare), one non-Huge rare, three uncommons, and three commons.

Previews of 4th Edition have mentioned the relationship between giants and titans, so for our first preview, you get to see two uncommon creatures linked to the ground beneath their feet.
Earth Titan
Formed from the elements, giants helped the primordials shape the world in the old times. The first giants were the titans -- huge, roughly shaped humanoids whose appearance clearly shows a link to the primordials and their elemental origin.

More monstrous than the hill giant, the Earth Titan is a great example of how giants and titans work in the new edition. Titans (and to some extent giants) have a supernatural look that makes these creatures stand out as something more than just a big pe
LordNth's commentary- so the Ares Colossal Mechs were made by the Republic? When was this accounced? So much for FWL fanboys hopes that they were made in Marik Space.
In Preparation for the Fall
Scenario gameplay provided by Jim “VincentDegrassa” Topa
With the Republic sending colossal-class BattleMechs after its own Knights, forces on the outside have begun a more serious debate about peeling back the curtain to finish things once and for all. Such an undertaking will require resources, much like those discovered on a former Bannson holding, a moon named Hermione where uranium is plentiful, gravity is not, and enemies are in abundance.
