The ork Gargant had what the officially called a "Belly Gun". It was
never
referred as such though. Yes I do remember the Dictator ship. Pretty
funny stuff. The old GW had some pretty off-color ideas about future
combat.
On another note we are going to be starting a FT campaign here in Korea
soon and I am developing some tech trees for it. Has anyone else done
anything like this before? If so I would love to see how you went about
it. I am basing ours on the ones found in the SFB campaign book.
Thanks
