Im bored, so here is a topic. We do not have any real shooty beasts. The Pureblood is good, but it is not a standard shooty heavy, like a defender or ravagore. The Winter Argus has a gun (or two!) but it is not really a ranged piece either. Do you think it would be game breaking if we had access to a shooty light like... the teraph (or like a quality light like the charger and what ever the ret one is called...)? Would Ravagores be super OP in circle? Or is it just a thematic thing, that they have not invented a cool beast that has a ranged weapon that fits in to circle? I mean i could totally see a goat with a big bow...

Goat with a big bow would be awesome...
But the Woldwyrd kind of fits the bill of what you're looking for but I get your point that there's no ranged light for the living beasts.
Might be a interesting way of reworking the Rotterhorn but as a shriek it would most likely be another spray I suppose

Issue is, the decision to split the warbeast stable in 2.
Wyrd and watcher have decent light guns. Winter Argus has 2 sprays...
The only thing we don't have is a powerful long range gun on a FA U heavy. Loki and pureblood are good guns.
Wishlisting... Goat is probably easier due to lower stats than warpwolves.

I would love a giant goat with a massive long bow.

So I know this is all just spitballing, and I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but; I kind of like that there's a thing we don't have? That not all factions are effectively interchangeable? And the two sides of Circle - beasts and boulders - play significantly differently? Shooty living beasts just isn't really our thing (says the guy who likes to play 4 Purebloods - but that's spray-ey beasts, which is a different thing. And 4 Purebloods plays pretty differently from most other shooty lists, and that uniqueness is kind of my point.)
Again, nothing to stop you speculating for fun, but my 2c is that I'd actually be a bit disappointed.

Kaya3 4 pureblood madness? I play it with Kaya2 for the stealth battlegroup, but mostly that's just because it's who I'm used to.

Back onto the shooting light, while I'd like a light like the charger available in living themes, that's not really in theme with circle. Probably the best we could get would be something like the frightmare, a gun platform that honestly kinda sucks. While I wouldn't be thrilled with such a beast, when you have points left and kinda want a gun, a bad option is better than no option.
As a quick realistic wish, let's look at something like
Gorax Archer Longbow rng12 pow12 rat5 Animus rng self grants arcing fire, cost 2.
Something along those lines is probably reasonable.

I agree with this.

@dev Null Good points about faction differentiation. I do not want every faction to have everything either. Howerver, i expect circle to get more models in the future, and since i do not want those models to be identical to the ones we already have that means they could potentially be ranged living beasts. There is a line to walk between msk ng every faction identical and total stagnation 😅
