Yeah that kind of pissed me off when he said that they can use the Draco, Poor fella was stillborn before we even got his rules Just to clarify, but this means that the rules will most likely be garbage because it has to be balanced while being fielded in: 1) Blindwater 2) Non-theme Minions 3) Another Faction as a Merc/Minion under 4) Disciples of Agony So basically, the Dracodile is going to do for Minions what Caine3 was for Mercs, nothing. Right?

Depends on the rules. But if a base Dracodile cannot outdamage a Wrastler with Rage, it will not be good.
Of course the Old Witch model is literally collapsing under its own weight, so you may not want one for other reasons...

Why would inclusion in a Skorne theme break the Dracodile? Every Animus in minions is potentially available to Skorne.
If the enraged Mammoth can get rage and/or primal, why should gigantor croc get hit with a nerfbat?
[Edit: thought my post got eaten, sorry!]

"For all these units you take, specifically for every full 20 points of units in the army, you get to add one Skorne command attachment (note: you might notice something weird about this . . . future proofing!)"
This might be promising... Is there an incoming minion command attachment that they want to avoid giving free?

I assumed they meant a Skorne ranking officer. A CA that attaches to Minion units.

Only thing it doesn't do is make them FF. As 4 of the 5 warlocks in the theme have FF upkeeps which could be applied to a unit, I would say that is a non-trivial difference

Besides, +2 Strength, No Sleeping on the Job, and/or Tough aren't the only special rules you could give to a unit. Mini Feats and a variety of other benefits are also possible. ...sure, it'd be nice if Minions got to apply even one of those rules (except Tough, we do already have a model that hands out Tough in a faction where most units already have Tough ).
