Are they good... Ever? I inherited 6 painted ones and I struggle to find ANY thing they are good at. Even Naaresh feels like he is better taking a single Savage since they pretty much only work on pairs, so you must spend at least 8 points to bring any

I don't know what they are even supposed to be good at, let alone what they are actually good at.
rumor is one of the testers ran them with Xerxis2 and broke them but we don't know what rules they had during the test.

I can see them being very good for X2 under Mk2 rules. But "during testing" they made mk3.0 Skorne, which was about the most pathetic designing I've ever seen PP do, so... I'm not surprised. I just don't see how they (nor Cataphracts) got touched during the v2 revamp. Anyway, I'm just kvetching. Seriously, does anyone have a suggestion for these models other than paper weights? |

Basically. A small base you can force to run acrpss the board and arc through. If someone has a good use for them, please share. I once thought they'd have a point in MKII with Makeda3, since she hated Tough. Turns out the animus didn't make a difference. |

I have one in my Makeda1 Warhoast list. But only because I needed 3 points for my 3rd free beast and the Animus seemed like a decent way to sneak some RFP into the list.

I suppose it is a fairly cheap way to sneak targetable Snacking into your list.
On the subject of lesser war beasts, a group of us were talking last night about how PP really missed the mark with lesser warbeasts up until the Crabbit (I don't really count the Agonizer). They are all varying degrees of "you must struggle to justify this in your list". Disappointing.

that would just be hilarious but mainly because of how many that would be frenzying every turn. With Xerxis2's speed increase and feat it would be an interesting play... Perhaps with Xerxis1 that many reptile hounds would be fun on feat turn ^-^ My take on Reptile Hounds is that they are great for blocking charge lanes or landing spots. However, I believe the Scarab Pack already does that job much better while only costing 10 for 5 I think?
