Minions League Unit

[HoldTheLine]

Title. Anyone with the new NQ feel like spoiling the Minions league model(s)?

It is a new gunboar. It has girded for an animus (blech...), but also has an ability that allows you to force the beast to supercharge its gun-blast. The ability makes the gun-blast a 4" aoe and pow-15, but causes d3 damage to the beast. I believe it is still the same cost - but I cannot remember. I really like it.

In addition, the Cryx unit is a Black Ogrun unit that will also work for the Talion Charter merc contract and the Blindwater Congregation minion pact.

Saw the Black Ogrun on the Merc forums, they look interesting.

As for the Gun Boar...hot d-mn. HOT D-AMN.

Sounds pretty cool, POW 15 gun is really nice. Arkadius won't really even care about the damage, just shoot with them first and then apply Psycho Surgery.

He is the same cost.
As Carver never has fury for GB's animus. i'd honestly prefer the league model.

I don't think I've ever had Carver cast it, the Gunboar just casts it on himself to shoot at incoming infantry.

[Cannibalbob]

I like the increase in the size of the AoE. A 4" AoE is simply so much better than a 3".

I had Carver cast it once...Xerxis charge. Dead Xerxis.

Hey guys, something you may not have noticed about the Blast Boar is that the statline changed a bit too. He's DEF 13 ARM 15 compared to DEF 12 ARM 17 on the normal Gunboar.

Still a decent model, but not nearly as durable so be careful with him. I tried him in one game tonight but he only got off one shot before the game was over, did 2 points of damage to an ARM 20 Skinwalker on a pretty bad boosted roll (-5). Then he got charged and failed to kill the Skinwalker in melee but it didn't matter because we got Kromac that turn.
