Allows:
Warlocks with gatorman rule
non-character warbeasts with amphibious
warrior model/units with amphibious
gobber models/units
feralgeist
Raluk
Totem hunter
Pendrake
Wrong Eye
Sacral vault
Gets:
Can include one mercenary warjack on Raluk
Posse become FA U
Every 20 points of battle engine/unit lets you add one bull snapper or solo without lesser warlock rule for free
Posse units gain snacking
Posse units go up to 8 hit boxes each
Deployment is 2" forward
For some reason as written Rask isn't allowed because he has the rule Bog Trog Warlock, not Gatorman warlock. But Hungerford had posted teaser images of him using Rask in the theme. Not sure what's going on there.

Yeah not sure how I feel about that theme force...Seems pretty underwhelming. But I'll let the more veteran players weigh in haha. Sad to see Posse getting the primary buffs from the force...Just fix the unit!!

I'm a bit sad on that Dahlia isn't allowed. But hey, the posse got the buffs it deserved, and Totem Hunters/Thrullgs are now free.
Gonna try it.

Oh I was also hoping that the bog trog trawler got a buff considering Hungerford had a couple in his list. It seems like they are just throwing us a little bone after ruining posse.

Sad to see Posse getting the primary buffs from the force...Just fix the unit!! It's basically a posse spam list. Take a bunch of buffed up posse, get free totem hunter/thrulg/bull snappers and save a lot of points. 8 wound posse with snacking are now much harder to remove then they were before. It could be a pretty good heavy infantry list. |

I'm hoping the other theme lists are a little more cool and imaginative. Merely fixing the posse after wrecking them and calling it a theme force kind of sucks...Not too be super negative haha. |

Gonna have to agree it's a little underwhelming. Should have named it "The Posse patch 3.1 Theme force".
Still, have to order another Posse unit..(Damn you PP! You force my hand yet again!)

Not to mention if I want to utilise the little bonuses even further i have to buy a troll and a mercenary jack...Pretty dumb. |

Raluk is there because he was in the blindwater pact in Mk2 and the rule about letting him bring a jack is just a way to allow a single non-minion model in. I would never take Raluk with a jack in this list. I would actually bring a bunch of min units of posse. 6 min units gets you 3 free solos and leaves 15+warbeast points for the battlegroup. I'd say Calaban would be the best bet, but that's off the top of my head. |

A minimum unit is three guys? So you'd still have to buy four units of posse? Or am I wrong, i cant recall. Ah i was right haha. Who has four units of posse. I swear all these themes are to drum up sales...-_-. Four full units of a unit that's trash outside of this theme...Not the best I'd say.

Well, you can swap 2 posse with a Vault and a Swamp Gobber Bellows Crew.

You can also have Croak Raiders, Bokor Shamblers or Bog Trog Ambushers for the free stuff.
