New Arkadius Theme Force

There is a new Arkadius theme force that I intend to play the hell out of. I'm still down on minions, despite investing a lot of play effort I never found another caster I liked as much as Rask or that I felt was an excellent pair for him (I know that Rask/Maelok is popular but it doesn't quite sit right with me). I don't think this will change my opinion too much since the weaknesses of the list look pretty similar but I will give it a lot of game time. The theme force is:

You can take:
Non-character Warbeasts, Bone Grinders, Slaughterhousers and Targ
Comments: That looks ultra restrictive but there are no character warbeasts. There are two units disallowed - Brigands which are garbage without CRA (and not that great with it) and Razorback weapons crews. As for solos you miss out on Alten Ashley (don't care), Gudrun (don't care), Raluk Moorclaw (don't care) and the three things that might matter in some way - Pendrake, Saxon Orik and Rorsh and Brine. So not taking those three is the extent of the theme force restrictions.

Tier1
Requires - only bring the tier stuff
Reward - you can take Goraxs and they get shield guard.
Comments: A 4 point light with primal for an animus (+2 to hit and damage and you frenzy next turn) with 4 fury that actually fights quite well in melee and now gains shield guard. Already this theme force is amazing

Tier2
Requires - Targ
Reward - Deployment extended by 2"
Comments: Targ is not the greatest caster attachment in the world but he is the only one available. He does have some useful abilities and is probably worth 2 points, espcially if you have a road hog.

Tier3
Requires - 5 Warbeasts
Reward - for every Road Hog, War Hog or Gun Boar you get a free Razor Boar.
Comments - Holy shit this is an amazing reward. Alright this is kind of restictivish but you were going to take a Gorax anyway and they count and then you probably want a couple of heavies to put Primal on so really you are only forced to take 1-2 beasts more than the absolute minimum you want in the list and every beast coming with a Razor Boar is an insanely good reward.

Tier4
Requires - 2 Goraxs
Reward - your beasts run for free turn 1
Commends: this lets you get your beasts up the board. Turn 2 you are probably using the feat to get threat range on your opponent or you don't have to run some things but turn1 you can now get everything up the board without having fury issues. As for the cost the Gorax is an amazing beast without shield guard. With a caster as squishy as Arkadius, with Forced Evo a good defensive buff that Eiryss will want to shoot off, with wanting to get forwards to land Crippling Grasp on your opponents stuff taking two shield guards that also fight wonderfully well that can be shield guarded to and hyper agressive and then charge for free with primal and forced evolution - the requirement is again almost nothing and the reward amazing.

My first draft of the list is
Arkadius
2x Road Hog
3x War Hog
5x Free Razor Boars
2x Gorax
Targ
2x Min Bonegrinders

10 points of free models. Heavies that will kill what they hit and bonegrinders to extend the range of crippling grasp and forced evolution. I'm happy with this list. I think it's good and it's in pigs. This is not something I have felt often before.
