Like Cygnar has lightning, Khador has freeze?
With 2 units of Bog Trogs, 3 Thrawlers, 3 Husks and Hutchuk you can put on quite an ambush force.
Granted its 56pts if you go full retard but thats a lot of pressure on your opponent from a weird angle.
In WWfF, you'll have to do without the Bog Trogs, but you could get Hutchuk and a couple of Thrawlers for free and still make a decent army.
Anyone else dojoing Ambush?

Another thing to note, theres even more ambush options you can not include them with most of the others on the list but Thornfall Alliance also can give a commando unit ambush making it even more prevalent in the faction.

Ambush is more ubiquitous in the game across the board by dint of theme forces, I wouldn't consider it a minions "thing" akin to lightning for Cygnar.
Going overboard on ambush feels like a mistake, especially given the popularity trend for Jaws and other theme forces that say Firetruck you to it.
Hutchuck and some one or Trawlers have served me very well, especially as a list consideration to play on Spread the Net.
I have an anti-Bog Trog Ambusher bias that I don't feel compelled to combat.

Hutchuk is probably the best free solo I've ever played. He delivers in every single game.
Our other ambush stuff? Not so much...

Hutchuk is crazy good, the units are... less than good.
I'm not sure about Husks but I think Trawlers have potential, especially for their cost.

Had Hutchuck kill 43 points on Ambush turn last tourney. Was very nice.

My record on the ambush turn is probably him ambushing pre-nerf Storm Lances, killing one and knocking down the other four and removing the unit from the game, effectively. ...well, record, excepting for the times he's come in and knocked down a Warlock/Warcaster and won me the game on the spot. |

Tristan1 with a Judicator, plus a Mechanic. It was a quick game. |

Last tourney Hutchuk came in and charged Jakes, killing her and rendering an Ironclad and a charger Inert. It was a blast.
On another note, if Thornfall would give ambush to commandos then we’d probably see more units of commandos. Currently with only 1 unit getting ambush, not so much. I still run a max unit with Midas and with Hutchuk as Knockdown help they even kill beasties.

One unit of Commandos is more than enough.
