The Grolar might be an expensive jack, but after the last two games I played, I'm willing to say he's more than earned his points. He has been responsible for two caster assassinations (and subsequent victories) for me, against Garryth, Blade of the Retribution (running Defenders of Ios) and Lieutenant Allister Caine (running Storm Division).
Both fights saw me on (what I think was) the losing end, up until the assassination run. Against Garryth, I was mostly able to hold back his forces with my black dragons and Iron Fangs, but I was losing on scenario due to not being able to clear any zones efficiently. My opponent positioned his caster too close and neglected to put Heightened Reflexes on Garryth. I charged in with my last Great Bear (Yarovich, I think) and knocked off his focus, but it was the auto knockdown hammer and the huge number of initials that won it for me. I plinked him to death with pow 12 shots.
The second fight against Caine had me losing ground on scenario again, as his ponies gummed up the middle of the field and his stormblades killed off almost all my black dragons. I was able to knock down Caine with a thrown stormsmith grenadier and then trampled the Grolar through a forest to hit Caine, burning through four of his focus with my gun before killing him with the hammer.
In that same game, I'd used up almost an entire unit of Iron Fangs and a fully loaded Marauder trying to kill off his Stormwall (being forced to charge through his Sustained Fire templates) and left it on one box. My little pooch bravely charged through the field of fire, toughed his way up to the stormwall and delivered the killing blow.
So now I have to paint my grolar and my war dog.
