Strum and Drang - 35 points

[Del Fuego]

So I've got the good doctor's list on order and will have it tomorrow. The second caster I am beginning to theory craft a list for is Strum and Drang, who looks hilarious.

Here is the 35 point list idea I'm thinking for him:

Strum & Drang
Tier 4 Split Decision

Strum & Drang
- Targ
- Road Hog
- Road Hog
- Road Hog

4 Farrow Bone Grinders
Farrow Slaughterhousers
Farrow Slaughterhousers

Point Total: 35

With my "wonky-shenanigans" Arkadius list, I want something that can go that way and apply pigs liberally. I know Carver is the best for that, but I want it to be with S&D so work with me .

Anywho, what do you guys think?

Hm... would consider to replace one of the Road Hogs for a War Hog. Even though the Road Hogs aren't that bad in melee, sometimes you need raw punching power and Sturm and Drang don't provide enough boost for damage rolls to get high-ARM beasts, like the gladiator.

Yes, you have your Slaughterhousers for damaging beasts, but sometimes one beast is much easier placed than a whole unit. And if the Road Hog and the War Hog cost the same (tier list), you have to ask yourself: How long will be 3 Road Hogs effective and when's the tunr for some good old War Hog Power?

Seconded.
While 2 units of 'Housers tend to wreck face, it's very easy for an anti-infantry unit to get the jump on them (even ARM 17 against shooting wont save them), and once they're gone, other heavies will laugh at your plethora of pow14s .

My only concern there is that it wouldn't be mobile enough to keep up effectively with the rest of the army. With AM on both Slaughterhousers and Effective speed 7 with pathfinder on the Road Hogs if I force for Full Boar, I'm just not sure how I can keep up a War Hog without relying on it as a second line unit.

Nothing wrong with that. Keep it as your pinch-hitter and your Watcher back-up.
With liberal application of TK the warhog can reach an effective 11.5 inches with effective mat 8 (assuming you tk the target towards it and turn it around).
Honestly I'd never leave home without a Warhog. And if I'm honest, it's really never leave without 2.
