Rask

Spoilers are also out on a new minion warlock. He looks really really good.

He's RAT 7 and has a really good gun, RNG 10 with 3 different ammo types enabling him to remove upkeeps and focus or steal focus/fury or drop whatever it hits to DEF 7.

He has 6 fury, his feat is similar to the witch covens except you don't need the enemy models in your control area (just your own models). You can't be charged or targeted by attacks from more than 5" away.

His spells are admonition (great spell), boundless charge (Gators really needed that SPD boost), fury (and they really really needed a damage buff) and inhospitable ground which I find is either never cast or game breaking. He also has call to sacrifice for Bog Trogs which lets him sacrifice a bog trog within 5" to heal a point.

His theme force was spoiled on Bell of Lost Souls.

It's really good too.

This is fantastic for minions and particularly for Gators which at the moment have Barnabas as really their only fully competitive warlock. Fury will bring the Gator Posse up to POW 16 which is silly and will bring the Wrastler to POW 20 making it actually good and you can combine it with Boundless charge as that is not an upkeep spell. Admonition will allow you to protect key beasts or Rask himself. I expect him also to have decent synergy with the bog trog zombies that will be coming out in the new book as well.

Definetely going to be adding this one to my gator force.

Draft 35 point tier 4 list (assuming 6 warbeast points, which I think is a pretty safe bet):


[00] Rask (0 / 6 WB)
[09]  >> Blackhide Wrastler
[09]  >> Blackhide Wrastler
[03]  >> Bull Snapper
[03] Totem Hunter
[02] Croak Hunter
[08] Bog Trog Ambushers (9 grunts)
[09] Gatorman Posse (4 grunts)
