Mercs would need about 4 to do well, but even then... Sellswords would almost have to go Steelhead, which would be like an observation tower, command tent, or bunker. For the Rhulics, I almost want to say a trench pit or bunker. Cephaylyx would almost have to be an hole through which they summon reinforcements. Pirates... Too hard to say unless you wanted to bring a ship part on the table, though a semi-portable mast as a lookout/observation tower would fit in theme. just how gators got a gargantuan and pigs didn't. i'd propose that so too not every merc subfaction should get a structure. heck i'd only give a structure to rhulics and cyphalyx.

there is a big difference in current and local meta. i noticed that current LOCAL meta is all about beefing up. big pieces that are just tanky as Firetruck or annoying to deal with. there isn't much gooing on in swarming and when there is its still very durable models. edit: legit annoyed how often folks ask if i have paladin iniates for loan. yeah, i've noticed that almost every list out there has huge bases, but I never picked any up in MK2. I used to be the goto for people wanting to borrow models. Now though, since I don't have any of the lastest and greatest, I probably won't have to worry about that.
I'm probably also close to the only Amon player that owns 0 Dervishes
alot of the huge bases aren't collosals fortunately. provided your not playing against menoth. if you can get your hands on the collosal kit from menoth its definetely worth as an option.

That's a shame. I've been finding Helga1 more and more fun to play... But boy you need a lot of non-pig models to make her sing. Soul Slave, Totem Hunter, Void Archons, River Raiders, and now Flugwug and Ledfoot. Technically dropping Ledfoot still leaves Flugwug threatening 16", which isn't bad. i had a massive mk2 helga win rate in mk2. then i had a tourney with her in wich i rolled double 1 (even tripple 1 once) Over 14 times. ever since every game i ever played with helga i manage to pull of a SUPER easy assasination only for it to fail due to borked dice. "whats that? 8 hp warcaster with 0 focus and only def 13 arm 17? lets do this" proceeds to roll 5 attacks, with attack and/or dmg rolls below 4"WELP" she is cursed.

Ledfoot and/or the Pyg Tanks aren't bad in a list with Helga's Feat, to be fair. with me its this reluctance to start mixing up the minnions and this desire to keep my armies as "pig centric" as possible. so far the only gator models i got are the arcnode shrines.

He doesn't need to get behind the enemy 'caster to get them close enough for the rest of your army to slam towards your army. With Ledfoot he threatens 18", can slam an enemy to knock them down and still pull them in after the attack so that they're in base to base, and he's a boosted Mat 7. He's basically the best solo to begin an assassination run with. but then you gotta use ledfoot aswell. then again i did have plans to convert the tanks to farrow tanks. IF i could get my hands on em

A lot of it depends on what Warlocks you actually want to play. A few of the Riot Quest solos are unambiguously excellent (Boomhowler2 is the one that makes an appearance in most lists I write), but a lot of them are pretty laser focussed on particular Warlocks. Flugwug, for example, is the greatest gift to Helga(1) you can imagine, but I don't know when you'd use him otherwise... though I have seen him being run with reasonable success under Midas's command. Another interesting snippet is that a lot of the solos work well with each other. The Hermit of Henge Hold, for example, really likes both Ledfoot and Tredz and Boomhowler to get himself up the board faster. Kwaak really likes having the Hermit around, being able to block the free strike makes Enliven a bit more consistently useful, and Telemetry makes Kwaak lethal to light infantry. The tanks like the Primal Archon a good bit as a set-up for their guns, and the Primal Archon doesn't hate having Boomhowler around so that it can Reposition out of the way. Void Archons are just ubiquitously great, but beyond doing a great deal of work personally they also help to support the army, and Boomhowler's Reposition helps again to let them muck around and then slide in somewhere to apply Dark Shroud. To be honest, you could probably build a Maelok list out of nothing but the new solos and it would be reasonably effective. what makes the frog so good for helga thou?

well they gave her rapport and engine of destruction on her feat. i also think her club got a +1 on pow. sooo...yay progress? Don't be so negative. She got a net +1 str and +2 on the bat. Her feat's actually got some use now, allowing her to get in extra work. As Azahul said, what she's really missing is something for the soul slave to cast and a damage buff for her battlegroup. i'm not negative at all. i'm carefully optimistic. heck i even wanted her to feat for EoD cuz it would boost her significantly. she even got +2 dmg to boot ontop of that and a hecking good spell.

regna is mostly a model you take for the added armor vs shooting. her having acces to a shrieker is a bonus imho.
as for order of activation issue's. oh i feel you buddy. I FEEL you.

the main reason for asking all of this has been due to the instability that i as a european player have atm. with brexit beeing an ACTUAL thing i have a very limited time window to order BAHI models. Might want to cash in on that during this year's Black Flag Friday deals? the what what?

so my main question is this "should i bother?"
cuz so far i have read "its pretty decent and can find a place in army lists BUT"
