I found a deal on a box of brigands/Commandos. What to turn them into for my Skorne purposes though? I was thinking brigands for a ranged component to doa as well as certain masters of war lists, but commandos seem really fun too with their cra grenades. Brigands can have their UA as well, so that's a thing.

Brigands! Bigger range, bigger unit, and Prey.

Hambushers are arguably usable in thornfall where they can hambush, but even then they're one of the first things that gets cut from lists.
As it stands AD, prowl, and feign death are their main advantages over the brigs; they seem like they're waiting for a CA of their own. Croak Trappers can theoretically feign death entire units of commandos if you leave the taskmasters at home; if Boomhowler worked for skorne you could Reveille them back up the next turn, but sadly...

+1 to Brigands, not only for their broader utility, but economy.
Right now, Miniature Market has a clearance sale of min units. It's like $15 of the standard price. Get 2-3 units + the Warlord on the side. Order the bits for the unit leader from the PP store.

Brigands all the way, in DOA with prey and Mortality from either Xekaar or Morghoul2 they can shoot at pow16 which is no joke.

Brigands are a very competent workhorse unit. They'll shoot effectively, they'll melee pretty well, and if the enemy is right jammed up into you, you can even combine the hog wild order to get a nice volume of attacks from any surviving piggies
Commandos don't even rate imo. not in skorne. if we had an easy way to give them concealment though i'd be a lot more tempted

To give him a screen so he doesn't have to feat early defensively maybe? The problem being anyone who would want them can't take the Tormentor... Themes... |

Awesome, thank you guys for the feedback. I'll try em out as brigands with UA. I have been loving messing around with pigs in doa so Thai should be a fun addition.

brigands are the optimal minion unit for skorne right now
