I actually haven't played Swampy since the start of April. I keep taking the Storm Troll for the extra point. I do agree with you though, the new winter troll looks amazing, especially with Gunnbjorn. Charge with Pathfinder, kill, killshot, boosted hit roll spray with crit freeze from Guided Fire.... WOOOO!!!!!!! What do you use the Storm for? I tried it a bit, especially against cygnar, but i found that even though the animus was nice in theory, all of their models were immune to its gun. This was before Heavy metal was a thing though, so maybe that is what have changed? Yeah heavy metal changes it quite a bit. He's just generlly good. - A good gun with all the amazingness that is Lightning Generator. - Everyone forgets about Repulsor field so they often send a jack in and don't kill it. - Crit Disruption is money in a pinch and like you said the animus is amazing against the current Time Storm lists with all the lightning guns.

I'm disappointed PP didn't use the recent CID to improve the Pyre troll. Dropping its cost by a point isn't enough to make it an attractive option.

My favorite is the Axer, yea lame I know but I have 2 of them. next the swamp troll I use him to drag some poor bastard to me and beat his face (With Gunny) I kill shot another one and let an Axer or some else beat his face.

If we're going light beast period the Axer is the best without a doubt. Rush is too valuable. Of those with element effects I still gotta love that Slag. Agreed on that Swamp troll though. I love that guy.

Offense/damage is king. Warmachine fields more warjacks point for point over our 'beasts. The Slag levels that field when Raged and KSB/SSE STR +1 buffed. I currently fairly routinely field two. Decent guns too. I'm painting a third (I was not on the EE bandwagon). (CID its animus or Continuous Corrosion already! Its insulting at this point. Though loss of Slag means no loss of animus for the army ) Swamp provides the absolute most FUN! Crit Consume Great Bears, DG Sentinel Officer, etc. One of my favorite Puppet Master targets.
