What you want to see next

[Feral2k]

Just like it says, what do you want to see next for Minions. I have a few ideas myself, as follows:

-Bog Trog warlock. I had an idea for one that uses transmutation magic to turn dissident/criminal members of his tribe into huge mutated fish-warbeasts. Still working on stats for him and his beasties.
-Someone kept saying that we should have a pact with insectile warbeasts. When I read that, I thought maybe a giant mosquito for Blindwater, seeing as that's the regional bird of the bayou.
-A ranged unit for Blindwater. I'd like to see something in that pact that shoots.
-A dedicated melee unit for the Farrow. They could use something aside from the War Hog and Brine, IMHO.
-Edrea and Lynus. She could be a useful addition for the Retribution as well as for Hordes armies, and he might be a decent tech piece against Legion (I'm pretty sure he was the one that knew people amongst the Nyss and got a good look at their warbeasts).

That's all I can think of for now, but there might be more to come.

[BilesyBelcher]

A gator warbeast that gives +2 STR or +2 to melee damage rolls.

[TinRobot]

Oh man where do I start?!

Bogtrog Warlock - focused on stealth magic I would love to see a Blindwater warlock with shadowpack
Croak Warlock - focused on rain/weather magic

Lizard/Chameleon/Salamander warbeast
Snake warbeast
I would like to see another gator warbeast with a weapon like a flail

Croak Unit - maybe a melee unit with jump or acrobatics
Gatormen Character unit - 3man unit focusing on magic would be neat
Gatorman solo - I would like to see it with a debuff or buff ala curse
Bog Trog UA something to make them a bit more survivable like granted:tough

[Reemule]

A Gunboar with a pair of cleavers to make him power 12, and a arc node. With Defenders ward as its animi.

[Loki_333]

More turtles

I'll put a vote for a Trog caster; I really do like their sculpts.

[dboeren]

Farrow need to catch up with Gators, they've got a lot more choices in their contract. So, I hope they get some extra stuff or at least access to some new general Minions that Gators don't.

Farrow:
A Farrow Shaman type warlock
A melee unit (the Slaughterhousers will probably fill this role)
At least one more heavy and one more light beast
A melee solo (possible synergy for the Slaughterhousers?)
A ranged solo

Gators:
A Croak warlock
A proper light beast around 5 points
A lighter cheaper Gator unit
Unit of Croaks with short ranged attacks (maybe sort of like Bloodtrackers?)

[Joeb]

I'd like to see the Pigs get better. Right now it seems like Gators are way ahead of the Pigs. I like all 3 Gator beasts whereas the gun boar doesn't impress me much. And while I like the other Pig warbeast, Massacre isn't exactly the best animus around.

Hopefully pigs get a decent melee unit so they can compete with the gator posse. More casters would be good, but I don't see myself using the farrow brigands without CRA - it makes them so good!

[dboeren]

Agreed, pigs feel a little forgotten right now until they get rounded out some more. Besides, Gatormen are really a top shelf unit even without buffs where Brigands can use a little help. Free AD with the Pact helps of course, that's what I think they were missing back in MkI - a Dig In unit without AD really doesn't seem to get much out of the ability.

The Gunboar seems alright to me but not really exciting. I haven't played one but he's got a solid gun, two melee attacks, and two open fists for throwing stuff. Plus, his animus seems decent. Not a beast I'd spam, but Counterblast is worth having in some lists. I really wish though that it wasn't Range: Self. It would be so much better if you could put it on Razorbacks too and I think the added versatility would raise the stock of both models.

[HoldTheLine]

I doubt that a bog trog 'lock is coming, since gatorman warlocks are cited as a major unique asset in the gatormen's battles against the bog trogs.

[Col_Festus]

Crayfish warbeast! Immune to KD with grievous wounds!

or something ;)

[thag-rush]

please no more "manimals" the anthropomorphic thing is played out at this juncture. i like what we have, but anymore and it's just going to get silly.

[Wintersmith]

-A ranged unit for Blindwater. I'd like to see something in that pact that shoots.

I would love this as well. Bog-trog bolo warriors. Range 8, causes knock down, does no damage. That, or bog-trog spear throwers, being a somewhat different verion of a Tharn Bloodtracker (doesn't have weapon master, does have poison, etc).


please no more "manimals" the anthropomorphic thing is played out at this juncture. i like what we have, but anymore and it's just going to get silly.

The entirety of the minion pacts are based on animorphs. I hate to say it, but there are more coming...

[thag-rush]

The entirety of the minion pacts are based on animorphs. I hate to say it, but there are more coming...

I don't mean no more pigmen, fishmen, frogmen or gatormen... just nothing new in that vein, what we've got is good any more would just step into the comical. no crabmen, no ratmen, no snakemen, no bearmen... When a new species hinges on combining two existing species, creativity is really not being used to it's fullest.

[Col_Festus]

I was flipping through the monsternomicon to see what else lurks in the swap. It seems a whole race "the dreggs" are unrepresented. I'm curious if they might fight for blindwater? Also the dracodile... Seems to be the biggest baddest thing in the swamp besides maybe bloody B. Thoughts?

[Wriggle Wyrm]

I agree that Thornfall needs a lot more fleshing out. At minimum, I'd say Farrow need 2 more beasts, a dedicated melee unit (Slaughterhousers will probably fit the bill), a UA for brigands and a couple of solos.

Preferably the beasts will be a melee light and a ranged heavy, to balance out our ranged light and melee heavy. Right now I'm pulling for a ranged version of the War Hog and something like a Gun Boar but armed with a pair of meat cleavers. It would also be nice to get a 1 point solo, to if nothing else make it easy to fill tiny holes in lists.

[*SQUEE*]

I would like to see a large Pig beast with reach and a higher base str and a decent animus and a smaller beast with meatnode for the good Dr. I also would like a melee unit like everyone else but hope the Slaughterhousers will fit the bill.

[Polar_Bear]

Minion Battle Engine that's a gigantic flippin' alligator on one of those gigantic bases.

That's what I'm talkin' about. *nods sagely* :p

[Col_Festus]

I'd be down for a Dracodile as a battle engine =P I bed the Farrow would be angry tho haha. As pertaining to character solos I saw there was an "Old Man of the Swamp". Any thoughts that Calaban might be able to work some of his juju and get this guy fighting for the Blind Water?

[ozmo]

Something to make the bone grinders better. Right now farrow have access to one real unit.
Another farrow beast would be great.

Gators need an offense buffing animus, or Arm debuffing animus, +2 Str would be great

[infamousd]

Again, I Love to see a Juju Character for Gators, preferbaly a Gatorwoman Voodoo Queen that generates risen (so we can get a Hordes expansion pack for Risen), but instead of using a melee weapon, she has 3 spells. Seduction, Arcane shot, and Control undead. And Can used said risen to boost magic attack and damage rolls.

Gator Ranged? Well, as I believe PP strives to fill out niches, not strickly what players want, I see this happening. Maybe a Gatorman unit akin to Orgun Warspears? Maybe Bog Trogs with spears? Oh perhaps a unit of 3 Gators that have that use magic attacks! like Combine or B13.

(as i seem to be the only one bathering about it) I think the next pact should be Efarrit models, a society of Merchant princes in the desert, who HATE skorne, use warbeats based off of insects,like Cathract beetles (lessers), Desert hydras (heavies), and others of my own thoughts (A light that is a animoprhic praying mantis). including a Solo riding a Oil Blecher, Cav riding Giant ants with flank from spearmen.

[dboeren]

I'd love to see that female Bone Grinder shaman mentioned as hanging out with Lord Carver, I think she's almost a lock to appear in the next book since they dropped very few names of characters and she seems fairly instrumental. She may even be a warlock herself. But mainly, a couple more beasts and units are needed badly.

I really do not think that we're ready for another pact yet. The two we have are pitifully bare-bones (Farrow moreso than Gators admittedly), and I'd like to see them fleshed out a lot more before starting yet another one.

Overall, I think we need a lot of emphasis on the Minions section in the next book, it's going to take a good number of models to turn them into something approaching what the existing Merc contracts have available to them.

[Ohmen76]

For farrow would like to see a Melee solo for 2 points that is a pig. Also a good 1 point model, a lot of my list I want to run are short by one point. Since we cant use feralguest or gobbers. Finally an archnode beast for the good Dr, 10 inches away with grinders is still to close to be casting crippling grasp to me :)

[Ludderz]

another light another heavy and a solo for farrow and ill be like a pig in a @*~$! hehe

[Feral2k]

As pertaining to character solos I saw there was an "Old Man of the Swamp". Any thoughts that Calaban might be able to work some of his juju and get this guy fighting for the Blind Water?

I'm not sure if he's in the same swamp as the Gatormen, and if PP was going to do grymkyn they probably would have done it by now . . .


(as i seem to be the only one bathering about it) I think the next pact should be Efarrit models, a society of Merchant princes in the desert, who HATE skorne, use warbeats based off of insects,like Cathract beetles (lessers), Desert hydras (heavies), and others of my own thoughts (A light that is a animoprhic praying mantis). including a Solo riding a Oil Blecher, Cav riding Giant ants with flank from spearmen.

If they make a desert hydra it's probably going to be a skorne beast. I don't see the efarrit having the resources to tame a hydra. They're kind of nomadic, so it's not like they have a place to keep the stupid things while training them. Actually, with their regeneration, I have a hard time believing that the skorne could do much with them. Maybe something like Molik Karn or Bronzeback Titans, where they have an understanding, but not (relatively) tamed like the rest of them.

[mountainyeti]

I'd like to see a character heavy gator named Ol' Salty. Just big nasty and plenty chompy. A snapping turtle beast. Maybe a new lesser warlock for the farrow.

[Col_Festus]

[TinRobot]

if we got a trog warlock with a shark-esque beast that would be pretty awesome.

Im still a huge fan of reptiles but I cant deny the awesomeness of a Bog-Shark.

.....or jawesomeness...

[Wriggle Wyrm]

Nah, sharks are all salt water. Considering the Gater theme, if we see anything of the fish men variety I'd expect it to be some type of giant catfish. And before anyone laughs, just search the net a little, those suckers can get so big it's scary.:Terror:

[Polar_Bear]

What about electric eels? They live in brackish water.

Not all Sharks are salt water. There are plenty that live in rivers and streams. Bull Sharks don't live in salt water per say but they do go up rivers in search of food. There have been documented attacks on humans from bull sharks in fresh water rivers.

[simon sez]

For Blindwater I'd like to see:

The Fog Drake as a heavy 'beast, Animus could be Hunter to a model within 6", Amphibious as usual, Smoke Bombs *Action.

The Dracodile as the Battle Engine as Polar Bear and Festus suggested, make him out to be the T-Rex of the Immoren bestiary (excluding things like Dragons or Gorgandurs)

Maybe a giant Leech Light Warbeast. Bite with Sustained Attack and Life Drinker. Maybe make it immune to head/weapon locks and throws, because it's body is so squidgy that it's like grabbing wet soap. Perhaps Lurker as an animus.

For Thornfall:

Big Game Hunters, 6-pig unit: CRA, Pig Irons, Sniper and a ranged version of the Greylords' Ice Cage, call it Sedation.

Bone Grinder Warlock Attachment, grants Vampiric Reaving to attached Warlock, channel through friendly Bone Grinders in CTRL.

Rocket Pig Light Warbeast, is what it is: A giant pig strapped to a rocket.

Farrow Warlord, mini-Carvers with Commander, maybe the Slaughterhouser version of the Champion Hero.

[Col_Festus]

I personally would like to see something that uses souls for gators. All the fluff talks about them using sacrifices and souls to fuel their magic.. yet neither caster has cull soul, or a form of it. Sure Calaban's feat hints at it, but it doesn't really do it.

[dboeren]

I'd like to see some kind of buffing solo (like a Shaman) for the Farrow that can grant a bonus to a nearby unit. A light melee beast would be great too. I also want one of the next Farrow beasts to have a less situational animus.

[Feral2k]

Maybe a giant Leech Light Warbeast. Bite with Sustained Attack and Life Drinker. Maybe make it immune to head/weapon locks and throws, because it's body is so squidgy that it's like grabbing wet soap. Perhaps Lurker as an animus.

What's Life Drinker do again? I forget, and it makes this potential warbeast hard to imagine. If you can't post the exact wording, please point me to a model that has the ability so I can look it up.

[dboeren]

You heal d3 when you kill a living model.

[dboeren]

I was thinking that since the Farrow so far have a bit of a board control theme, it would make a lot of sense to get a beast with an animus that makes rough terrain for non-Farrow models. Maybe on a melee light or something? If would be especially nice on some sort of Shieldboar or whatever.

[Gniknok]

For Blindwater I'd like to see:
The Dracodile as the Battle Engine as Polar Bear and Festus suggested, make him out to be the T-Rex of the Immoren bestiary (excluding things like Dragons or Gorgandurs)

But this already exists ...
http://www.legionsgames.com/mastergallery/images/kroot_renegades/knarloc_broadside_a-07.jpg

oh right, wrong game. But in a pinch I think this is our BE!

[Space Donkey]

I could see the catfish or bull shark warbeast without much of a stretch especially if we get a Trog lock or lesser lock & character beast. IMO the lesser lock and character beast would be the better approach for adding a Trog lock since the bulk of the Trogs have been either subjugated by Barny or fueled Calaban's rituals.

I don't know how to best represent these beasts unless maybe they were quadrupeds since that would best evolutionary fit as they would most likely be primarily aquatic and wouldn't need strong/long limbs. Although with PP's habit of anthropomorphizing animals to make them warbeasts it's more likely that we would get Street Sharks.

I had never thought of the idea of a Trog lock being a lesser, but I really like this idea. It would allow a Trog lock to be used in other armies as well which supports how Trogs are not totally subjugated to the Gators, but also how a Trog lock isn't on the same level as the Gator locks which is why some of them are subject to Gator rule.

I also hope that PP will use the minions as a venue to expand beyond the anthropomorphic design of their creatures. While I don't mind some anthropomorphism, I think in excess it shows limited creativity in design. What drew me into minons was the potential for really exotic beasties and if they bring in the street sharks I might go awol.

[dboeren]

I'd like to see some four-legged boars for Farrow eventually, maybe as Lesser Warbeasts?

But mainly they're pig-men, so they're basically going to follow bipedal design standards. That's fine because that's very flexible. You can arm them with whatever kind of weapons you want - ranged or melee, short or long, one hand or both. They can carry shields too.

Actually, I think a heavy warbeast with a shield would be pretty nice for Farrow what with the War Hog having a relatively low ARM 18. Maybe give him a spiky ball & chain type weapon in the other hand, that feels like the sort of thing a rampaging pig-monster would use. So yeah, Templar-pig?

[dboeren]

How about a Hog Caller solo for Thornfall? Give him a couple of warbeast related abilities:

1. Slops: Heal a friendly Farrow Warbeast within x" d3+1 points
2. Hog Call: Friendly Farrow Warbeast within x" may advance up to 3" towards the Hog Caller
3. Greased Pig: Friendly Farrow Warbeast within x" gains +1 DEF against melee attacks and cannot be Thrown

He'd be a 2 pointer of course.

[danis2005]

I don't play Minions, but I have a simple thing that I would like to see: MOAR PIGS :D

[Lord Carver BMMD Esq. III]

Fell Squealer: Grants one of three abilities once per turn:

Granted: True Sight. Target model/unit ignores stealth
Granted: Pathfinder. Target model/unit gains Pathfinder.
Granted: Bloodthirst. Target model/ unit gains +2" of movement when charging.

[cyma]

new pact like Four Star Syndicate

I want play farrow but I love totem hunter

but I can't use both

[Deakon]

Maybe a Juju solo, Target model/unit gains its advantages against living models against any model. or some such thing

[GobberCloud]

I like to see at least 2 solo's added to the Thornfall, that count as farrow, a 3rd would be better.
A 2nd heavy and light beast.

[paradox1995]

ZOMBIES! Voo-doo casters need zombies. maybe a unit of mish mashed gatormen, bogtrogs and humans from various factions (khador, cygnar, protectorate)... all undead.

[Lord Carver BMMD Esq. III]

That...would honestly be kinda badass. Maybe be able to use them as meat-nodes for Calaban? That would be sweat....

[TheIronclad]

This kind of out there but what about dinosaur like beasts.

[paradox1995]

[Heartless Indiscretion]

For Gators I want the following.

- Croaker ranged unit w/blowgun rng 8" and anatomical precision.
- Croaker Shaman with all 4 arms and 2 heads like in the fluff.
- Warbeast, I like the following swamp buggers Crawfish, Crabs, Mosquitos, Toads, Turtles, Wasps, Snakes, and Snails. I do not like fish or anthropomorphs.

More off the wall ideas,
- Bog Trog Lesser Warlock that has ambush and gives ambush to beasts in its battle groupe.
- More Risen action, perhaps by a warlock that can use them as meat nodes.
- Undead Warbeast made from a conglomeration of dead bodies stiched togeather.

[Feno12]

I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of zombie Gator / Humanoid to keep up with the voodoo theme

[VeZuri]

I'd like to see a new Farrow beast, either light or heavy. A quadruped pig with a really foul temper, armor plating and all that. Call it "Panzer Hog" with Tenacity for animus, Gore for an attack and either Pain Response or Counter Slam. Good times!

Or, alternatively, give the Panzer Hogs some riders and make some trample-licious "Panzer Hog Rider" heavy cavalry out of them.

[Bingas]

Honestly I'd like somethig from Zu. A unit of toned down manhunters maybe.

[Wicked E]

A Bog Trog Warlock that is the true Starscream of WM/H.

Calaban: "Why do you keep him around if he constantly tries to backstab you?"
Barnabas: "He keeps me sharp."

[TinRobot]

Umm, I'm pretty sure that Calaban IS the Starscream of the Warmachine/Hordes universe but thats probably my own bias coming through.

On to today's insider:

The [edited for content] warbeast is an interesting playtest story partly because of [edited for content]. Other than [edited for content] to its [edited for content], this Minion warbeast [edited for content] from its [edited for content] straight through [edited for content]. Considering how [edited for content] this warbeast is from [edited for content], there was all sorts of potential to [edited for content] along the way. Instead, it [edited for content] alongside [edited for content] and provides some [edited for content] to the [edited for content] Minion pact.

Now, there isnt much to go on...thanks DC! but we can let our rampant imagination and speculation to fill it in.

[dboeren]

What a tease. The main thing I read out of that is that whatever this beast is, it's likely to be somewhat different than the beasts that the Pact already has and likely brings significant new options. Whatever it is, more variety will be welcome.

[Devilsquid]

Honestly, what I want to see, we're supposed to get in the next book: New casters. That's been my biggest issue with the Rulic force...two casters is a very shallow pool from which to draw from, and having that third one will keep things a bit 'fresher' over the long run.

[RevolverAdamska]

Some multy wound pig units, another light Wb and heavy one, Spray units/Beast , solos even for piggy cause we badly need a nice one imho =)

[BigK42]

I'm looking at things from more of a "what points value does the faction need" perspective. Gators don't have any beasts in the 4-7 point range, and need 1-2 more unit types.

Beasts:
I'm thinking a character light beast, maybe a big 'ole gator with a 2-handed weapon of some type plus bite, good MAT, 4 fury, hyper-aggressive, and critical knockdown. - 5 pts. Maybe even give it a talisman of some kind that acts as an arc node.

Ironback Sledger -6 pts. - Turtle beast, with a big 'ole sledgehammer, plus bite. Large life total for the points. Can choose between armor piercing and backswing, 3 fury, with low threshold. When frenzying, targets are slammed when hit, with P+S equal to strength + weapon power.

Units
Some kinda shaman unit - 3 gators for 4 points, with semi-decent stats and a 8" spray, plus some kind of utility spell. Maybe 4 pts is too cheap.

Will o' Wisp herder - Leader + 5 grunts for 5 pts (+3 grunts for 7 pts). Wisps have more DEF than ARM, decent MAT and above-average P+S. Leader has sacrificial pawn and a *action to grant one grunt +2" charge distance and boosted attack and damage rolls, but the grunt is RFP after resolving the attacks.

[dboeren]

I think ALL of those are too cheap.

The approach of figuring out point gaps makes sense though, both Gators and Pigs are so thin that it's common to have odd holes in your list that are hard to fill. I'm hoping Slaughterhousers will come in at 6 points and Targ will probably be 2. Farrow could use a 1 point thing too, I'm jealous that Gators can take the Feralgeist. I'm half expecting that when we get our Bone Grinder warlock she might be able to take Feralgeists in her Tier list but we'll see.

With Slaugherhousers and Targ on the horizon I think the thing I want next is a melee light warbeast for Farrow. It can cost 4 or 5, I think if it cost 6 it would be automatically left out of Arkadius lists for being too close to the War Hog unless it had a really good animus (and it would have to have a range so the Bone Grinders could use it) in which case you might take one.

[BigK42]

I would like to see some more solos as well, but it's probably easier to get more beasts since those don't have as much of an effect on the balance between the normal hordes factions. And we do need more variety in beasts.

[ozmo]

Targ being a character solo, i think Gators are due a character solo as well.
In my dreams Targ makes bone grinders behave more akin to Skorne beast handlers.

[Watchtower]

Again, I Love to see a Juju Character for Gators, preferbaly a Gatorwoman Voodoo Queen that generates risen (so we can get a Hordes expansion pack for Risen), but instead of using a melee weapon, she has 3 spells. Seduction, Arcane shot, and Control undead. And Can used said risen to boost magic attack and damage rolls..

yesyesyesyyeyeysessssss

[kantoboy]

Gatorman UA
Swamp Witch, Bog Hag solo
frogmen with blowguns

[Nalik]

A ranged heavy like a porkcupine
A light warbeast or FA2 four legged solo that has the grievous wounds ability
Farrow cavalry
A UA or WA for the brigands.

[Kievien]

The Slaughterhousers' stats and rules... I'm pretty psyched about those.
Other than that a ranged heavy like a Porkupine would interest me as well, though I'd prefer a Pork Node over anything else.

Grtz. Kiev

[dboeren]

I want a beast that Slams when it Frenzies.

[LACK OF SUBTLETY]

I think we are all missing the obvious on beasts here.

We need a frog beast with long ranged attack tongue that drags models to it and swallows small bases whole on a critical hit.

Obviously.

Also, a ranged unit with harpoons.

[LACK OF SUBTLETY]

A character unit of turtle-men, each armed differently, one with two swords, one with a staff, another with nunchuks and another with sais.

For pigs, I'd like if they continued in outlaw/brigands theme, and they got a gunslinger warlock/solo, complete with dual pistols, bandoleers and a sombrero.

For gators, I'd really like something with AP. That's one of my favorite special rules, especially with Parasite. Someone mentioned a mosquito, I'd like to see a light beast, with flight and... life drinker.

[Mada]

I want to see a AWESOME Looking turtle caster!! and he's turtle minions!

[absyinth205]

+1 to Brigands UA or WA. Light and heavy farrow warbeasts.

[Hjelmen0]

Farrow lesser warbeasts! It might not be what the pact needs, but it'd be hi-larious :D

[Feverdream]

I want a female bone grinder warlock. With long blond hair, and a magical punch attack called "Hiiii-yaa!". Oh, and she's followed around by a small croaker with a banjo. Or swamp gobber. So long as it has a tough time with his verdant coloration.

[AFB]

For my gatormen I would really love some:
-I want a Anura warlock. I never want to see a Bogtrog one.
-Frogs with blowpipes. Preferably 6 dudes for 6 points, like striders and gunmages.
-A gatorman Bokur solo would be cool. It it always nice to have some spellcasters.
-Dracodile warbeast. Nothing could stand against it. Though they might be too large.
-A Gatorman Posse UA would be interesting, but the unit is pretty insane already.

[stephenhii]

I'd like to see an undead/zombie/mechanical hog warbeast resulting from a pseudo-failure experiment by Dr. A. This is highly possible, and Primal Shock would not work on this warbeast.

Why?

Go and re-read Primal Shock which specifically mentions target "living" warbeast, only.

[Fuchikoma]

More Farrow warbeasts. If we get another light and another heavy, I'll be happy. Any more than that is just gravy.

[Vicomte Athos]

I'd like a bog Trog UA that grants them Backstab.

And ambushing Bog Trog Solo.

An Anura unit with Poison spears, set defense and defensive strike.

A Gator unit of witch doctors a' la grey lords, druids or Magisters.

More Farrow warbeasts. If we get another light and another heavy, I'll be happy. Any more than that is just gravy.

I expect at a minimum to get:
Farrow Light Beast, Farrow Heavy Beast, Farrow Warlock, Slaughterhousers, Targ

We can of course use all we can get, but I basically expect to get these plus maybe one more thing. To me the most likely extra candidate would be a solo or unit that works for both Gators and Pigs so PP can get some extra mileage out of it and not have to do two separate releases.

I wanna Farrow Cavalry. Give me 3 to 5 guys riding giant boars armed with spears (pig stickers) and shields. The boar impact attack is PoW 12 with Crit Knockdown

[Nuriochi_sol]

Pigs for me...

+1 Brigand UA
+1 Farrow Lesser warbeasts
+1 Quadrupedal heavy warpig with armor

Maybe, something akin to the Mk1 Celaphex Drudges would be kinda cool - Dr Ark makes some strange pigs with a variety of tools to use.

or would it be 3 to 5 giant boars riding guys... that came off sounding grosser than intended...

So, there are two things I want. Firstly, I'd love to see a slam-happy quadrupedal Farrow Light Warbeast. Simple as that.

Secondly, I want a mechanikally-enhanced Character Dragonspawn, hand-crafted by the almighty Dr Arkadius, with a little help from his special friend Bethayne, Voice of Everblight. A little something based off the Carnivean "chassis" would probably make the most sense, what with the boiler and giant metal limbs being a bit much for a flying spawn to carry...

[AFB]

How about a flying pig light warbeast? I am pretty sure Arkadius is crazy enough to stick a jump-jet on a giant Farrow. Just imagine it!

[OldIronEyes]

A Farrow heavy with reach. I don't care if all they do is take a Nephilim Soldier's hittin-stick and give it to a War Hog. I want shenanigans with Carver's feat. Secondly cavalry that is farrow on motorcycles. I know it's Hordes, but thus far all the cavalry has been either boring horses or, pardon my opinion on this one, dumb cats/reindeer/buffalo. Wolves are cool. Can't really argue against wolves.

[DeathnGlory]

Croak Hunters riding velociraptors (Gatormen Cav) - so with pathfinder, prowl, gang, poison and the Ferox leap rule.
Farrow riding wild boars. Crit KD on the charge, mount has overtake and berserk on it's gore and the farrow has a pig iron assault.

So basically the best damn cavalry ever for both pacts (I play both pigs and gators).

Farrow Cav will be riding Warhogs. LOL

[Feverdream]

I'd go with bears for cavalry. Male bears are called boars, after all!

[Reemule]

I'd like a Warhog heavy with different armament and a good animi. Perhaps a Khador Bombard for one arm and a Menite Templar Flail for the other arm. With a good animi like Ohh Bounding. Or Excessive Healing. Or Tenacity. Or Spiny Growth, ectra.

I like this idea. Given that in the fluff the Warhog seems to be the culmination of years of Arcadius' research and the Farrow are constantly referenced as scavengers I think any new heavy we see will be a Warhog variant with scavenged parts from another faction. I'd love a Warhog with a Reaper Harpoon. Then 4" movement wouldn't feel so bad.

[foxtrinee]

Model-wise I'd like to see a farrow heavy, but more boar-like with more fur, a furry bastard, with a harpoon looted from cryx reaper :D

[phineusphule]

Why not something like the Dire Troll Blitzer; a large boar with some type of back mounted gun and a farrow gunner strapped to its back.
