8-Point Trollbloods Heavy

[R.J.]

If they won't give it to us, I'll make one myself! The idea for this guy is to be a support beast that increases crit chances for warbeasts as well as increasing regen efficency, while still having some face-beating ability. In the battlebox, swapping an impaler for this dude would put the points at the same level as Legion's battlebox. Comments and critique welcome.

Divining Stick / Left Arm / Melee / POW4 P&S16 (tempting to make this a Reach weapon, but the official line on Dire Trolls seems to be that only Mulg can have reach -- I dunno)
Claw / Right Arm / Melee / Open Fist / POW3 P&S15

Dhunia's Guidance: Friendly Faction Models within this model's command range that hit with an attack roll may reroll one of the dice. (Maybe too nerfy? Could be "may roll an additional die retroactively" -- giving a 50/50 chance to change a boosted non-crit to a crit)

Animus: Boneknitter / Cost 1 / Range SELF / Friendly Faction models that begin their activations in this model's command range may use Regeneration without being forced. (Maybe this should cost two? Feels like a one-and-a-half at most though, and there's no such thing as half a Fury point.)

Seems much for 8 pts. When I read the title I was thinking a Blitzer without the slugger.

[R.J.]

I always forget about the Blitzer (which a lot of Trollbloods players claim should be 8 points as is). I think of the Titan Gladiator or the Seraph when I think of 8-point beasts.

Maybe down to MAT 5? I guess his animus is justifiable at Cost:2 on the grounds that it could do a surprising amount of work solving order of activation problems.
