So I'm joining the voodoo gators. What are the most important purchases for a new player. I would mostly be playing in theme. I also don't care for pigs.

Hey, I am fairly new to minions as well and recently picked up a gator army I would say that Posse are in some ways a must if you are playing in theme as most of the bonuses directly effect them. My armies usually include two units of them and I have seen people running more so thats a start. I have also heard great things about Wrong Eye and Snapjaw but I haven't had a chance to pick them up yet.

Seems like a solid list in my opinion though I really am not an expert. If you are going to get a Bokor + Shamblers I would suggest at least one Witch Doctor as those guys with tough are super annoying.

Should grab Bull Snapper early. He can be free in Blindwater theme so I often find I'm bringing one or two just by accident.

I've used them with tough back in Mk2 with Morvahnas green machine. Which was amazeballs. |

If you are not already including a bull snapper than yes. The access to spiny growth on your caster is super powerful if you already have a bull snapper I would consider a Croak Hunter over a second one. |

Barnabas going to arm 21 is nothing to sniff at. It's there any solo you would start with 2 of? |

Animus, transfer target, Fury battery are all nice to have. Plus, if you put Rage on him he can launch out to reliably kill a troublesome solo (or at least force the opponent to respect his threat). POW 15 on an 11.5" threat against living isn't too shabby. I see. Barnabas going to arm 21 is nothing to sniff at. It's there any solo you would start with 2 of? Nah most of the good solos are characters (Lanyssa) or generally fine as just one. |

As for solos to take duplicates of my only thought is the croc doc but that's only under Maelok for the extra application of undead.
