I have been using the DOA theme lots and as such have been looking to potentially invest in some minions to use within it, which ones do you think are good in which situations? I have a friend potentially selling his pigs so I am looking into how much of what he has I may want to use.

War Hog has +1' threat range over the gladiator, and with agression dial it has a +2 strength buff over it for the same cost. If you want to see the road hog's potential look over at Azahul's thread, SPD 7 on a heavy is no joke. Battle boar has primal. Don't think the gunners are worth taking unless it's for fun and flavor, turtle+flayers in winds give you better shooting. |

Brigands as a min with ua is a pretty good option for quite a few casters as prey is pretty nice

I like the Battle Boar with Makeda 3 to power up Cyclops Brutes. I like Road Hogs on occasion because they give access to Sprint on my caster like an Archidon, threaten the same distance, but hit harder and come with a spray. If Shield Guards weren't so everywhere I would consider Splatter Boar with a Mammoth, but that's about it.
I kind of like SlaughterHousers backed up by Taskmasters. Take Down plus accuracy plus high hitting power gives them a place, but they will always get out threated and they have horrible defenses. So sometimes I look at them if my list can deliver them safely or I need a cheap second wave of damage dealers. Brigands seem more or less pointless these days. Lousy defenses plus prevalence of Shield Guards and other infantry killers make their high price point really too much to ignore. Bone Grinders seem pointless in a world where Cyclops Shamans and Immortal Vessels exist. Heck, even a Blindwalker makes them seem pointless.
