Rumours (Gargantuans)


With the book out within a week rumours are starting to circulate about what is in it. I'll make a half arsed attempt to gather them here:

Legion:
Lesser Warlock. Can only take lesser warbeasts, fury 4, has aggressive (so its lessers charge for free) and flanks with warbeasts it controls. Very interesting for 3 points. The only lesser I pay points for that is not a theme force requirement is a shredder and a massive part of them is their animus. A lot of the time you want them controlled by your warlock for blight bringer and Saeryns feat or manifest destiny or incite or shadow pack. Legion has some great battlegroup spells.


Nephilum (blood) Seer. Can cast another warbeasts animus ala Cyclopes shaman. Animus is witch blight


Skorne:
Character Rhinodon. Eyeless sight. Same animus as the Wodlwyrd (double focus or fury to cast or upkeep spells within 10"). Upkeeps a spell for free, can make void spirits and has an affinity with mordikaar that gives it dark shroud (-2 ARM to stuff in its melee range). Again Skorne just seem to be getting awesome stuff. This seems like exactly what Mordikaar needed.

Reptile Hounds pow 8, 13/13 with 13 hp, slaughterhouse animus, flank [reptile hounds] 2pts a piece. Meh. Two points. Takedown is a pretty useful animus for 2 points. Removes from play and removes tough. You probably need two to get flank off otherwise they won't do much work.

Trolls:
Mugs and Krump are RAT6 with granted abilities: Reform and Circular Vision. Snare Gun and a Blunderbuss.


Troll Warders are spd4, arm 17, with Battle Driven, P+S10 Weapon Master, 8 wounds, and 5/8 point cost (Battle driven- after member of unit is damaged, +2 STR and ARM and pathfinder for one round.)

Partial spell list for Grimm:
Pursuit (offensive lets you move a beast or Grim if the thing you are pursuing moves), Mirage (two inch place for modul unit during the control phase), and Mage Sight (5" AOE, models in it can be targetted by your battle group regardless of stealth, clouds or forests).

Stuff I think is less reliable:New Light Warbeast
Night troll 4 pts, mat 5 defense 12 arm 15. Animus? Beguile - within 5" warrior models must advance directly towards it. Eyeless sight, stealth, man eater, pow 12 claws that cause paralisys (DEF 7 can't run or charge)

Solo
Fennblade Kithkar  2pts MAT 7 ARM 15. unyielding. 8 boxes. Commander, Hard (same as Fenns). Righteous Vengence
Reach, 2 x pow 13

Circle:
Morvhana - Purification (balls). Also Sunder Spirit (meh) and carnivore (Gators, Skin Walkers, heavies). Heals a point whenever a friendly faction model in CTRL dies. 

Tharn Blood Pack
Points Cost: Ravagers PC 7/10. POW 13 bows. Assault and Battery, Tree Walker, Heart Eater,

New Satyr, Points Cost: 9. Three melee attacks with POW 16, Grab and Smash Animus: Bulldoze (Self)

New Griffon Warbeast.  Animus: Amuck (boosted to hit on special attacks). Razor Wings: can trample everything. PC 5.
