Ossrum, I think I'm in love

I dunno about a Rhulic colossal...Something that expensive that only works with 3 casters in the game, while all the others work with 9+...I don't see that happening.

A battle engine maybe, since then the other Mercs can still use it. I'm surprised they didn't just make up a new Rhulic/Normal Hybrid Cortex for the Merc colossal and give us something to play with. Gorten & Madhammer STR buffs would be insane on the Galleon.

I don't see why they would mention it in the fluff if it weren't on the drawing board though.

It's what happened with the averlancher, took over 2 years mind.

I've just realised:

Critical Decapitation that ignores Tough makes General Ossrum...

A Trollslayer.

Time to get my orange paint out.

Maybe he has a orange mowhawk under that helmet?

Bah. Warlock, you fail for lack of imagination.

Let's see, a army that features lots of Tough models... why, that's Pirates! He's a PirateSlayer!

I'm not really wowed by Ossrum. He does seem to have plenty of synergies, but nothing terribly amazing. F4E, Energizer and snipe impress me the most, and his feat is particularly good for Rhulic forces.

He's a generic army support caster like eIrusk, but with less focus, weaker models and a weaker feat. While I don't think he's a weak caster in general, I would have liked to see a Rhulic caster with a more focused role. ELylyth, pVlad, Mortenbra, eMadrak, Karchev, Terminus, Xerxis - these are casters with focused roles and/or specific strategies that are difficult to overcome. Their bag of tricks isn't very big, but the tricks they do have are incredibly strong and exciting. When it works, it REALLY works spectacularly, and it contributes to giving the caster an identity within the meta. I think Rhulic forces could benefit from having at least one highly specialized build that gives up the all-rounder tool-box safety to achieve something really unique and compelling.
