I tried the SoBs in Company of Iron, two games, vs Skorne and Ret. Got my butt kicked So, nope, not there! (Ha! I had Wrathar and Tor Beast Wardening a Swampie. Goal? Maximize my mistakes in list building and infield play to learn the most!)

I'm playing them on my 5 game challenge with Borka1. Assault spray is really good, but have to test more. I think company or iron prefers single wound infatry.

My theory is company of iron strongly prefers defense, which isn't good for us as a faction. It'll be interesting to see, though.

My next Company iteration will have Janissa as CMDR, boostable [8] POW 14 AOE w/ improved Crit chance. Also min Bushwhackers with CA/mortar <--I see your high defense and raise you a high explosive AOE But back to SoBs, their one Assault spray was better with +2 to hit. The POW 14 is nice, but the best/likely targets for a single RAT 6 spray are most likely lower ARM/higher DEF models where a POW 14 is overkill, but a RAT 6 requires 8or+ to hit. Pathfinder and Prowl = delivery system, 'cause right now they are likely dead on arrival.

They are okay in Kriel Company, which sorely needs some hard hitters. Pathfinder/relentless charge would go a long way.

How about a different take on the unit? They are a fellcaller unit. Why not let them make their cell calls available to be yelled at other model/units??
Then you have a medium arm cracking unit that can hand out three fell calls

I too would love them to be better, but there ARE lists where they are the right choice. That should be enough i think...

What lists would you have in mind trollock? In several KC builds they make sense cause you need that bit of extra punch. In BoH with Madrak 1 they make sense in several builds due to the DEF stacking and versatility compared to another unit of champions.
