Scale goes without saying; but now I'm trying to imagine what it'd actually be like. I'd guess the tac would take out most medium-sized towns. The heads of them could quickly fill a California-sized area.

Then you connect them with string and it's just huge mass of fibre across the sky, 50km wide.

Probably something like the Colony Drop from Mobile Suit Gundam.

A decent quality animation of the actual scale would be fun to watch. Like, the pin just obliterating Manhattan and the rest of New York trying to take refuge in the places where the head doesn't make contact with the ground.
