At first I thought "I'm wasting the Blightbringer", but then I realized that even his concealemnt aura is useful in it. Defense 15/16 isn't trivial to hit (or at least it isn't SUPPOSED to be, thanks Cygnar), and if I really need to I can get Thagrosh2 up to 14/22+d3. The list has good versatility in that the Xaphs and Typhon can use it to either pay offense or run away. The Nagah gets prowl and running away if he wants, uses his animus to make the Blightbringer hurt at range. Late game I've got a beefy Thags2, Blightbringer, and Typhon to anchor things, none of whom are easy to ignore their return attacks. Also fully loaded Forsaken under the Str/Arm buff are no joke, which they will likely be by late game.

Grievous Wounds are a problem.

Aggravator on Typhon with Excessive Healing and Dragons Blood actually does something! Hooray! I'm finally not wasting my time casting it!

But the ultimate dream for this list is to actually use the character bond on Typhon to do something useful on Thagrosh2. I figure with the amount of fire he might end up taking it could come into play.

Anybody else notice that they changed Typhon's animus to gain Rapid Healing so that he doesn't conflict with Abby... Who can't actually play him anyway? (Yes, I know, out of theme, but clearly they haven't cared about developing towards that in forever).

Makes me wonder if they are planning on opening Typhon up to themes soon...

I hadn't considered slip streaming them. Seems a bit "square peg - round hole" for one grunt, but clearly it works out perfectly well under certain circumstances.

What am I missing about Hex Hunters and cavalry? I don't see the interaction.

Having said all that, I think Thrones do make make Vayls feat much more usable. It looks like a solid list.

Oh, and back before themes I got to play Vayl1 with Banshees. OMG that spray is amazing under Incite. Though it's very risky that Vayl will live long while getting close enough for them use it.

Because I've never in my life seen a Bronzeback, or any other Titan for that matter, strike only PS16. Paingivers are in every theme for a reason. Same thing with Choir in Menoth, etc.

Not arbitrary enough. I fully expect the final version of Primal Terrors to only allow beasts that start with S because they needed the other letters of the alphabet for design space.

I think the Titans are actually in a pretty good spot right now. I've played the Titan Herd and it works pretty well. It's a little out-classed by Don-spam, but the Bronzeback adds so much more to fury control and the Titans hit so much harder than Don's that I feel like they have a place.

My only problem with the Titan Herd is that I don't really feel compelled to play at least one of each. Ideally I should see great synergy with all on the table at once, so you would kind of always want the full stable in your list.

I think for what they bring to the table, Gladiators are amazing. I wouldn't change anything there.

Cannoneers should be 15 points. That's really about the only change they need. With 1 less fury and initial and less utility, I don't understand how they cost MORE than a Gladiator.

Sentries I think are not good enough at their role (guarding) for their point cost. The biggest problem I have with them is how difficult it is to get their animus to be worth it. At MAT 6... It just isn't worth the fury usually, especially when they are so low to begin with. I think they need to be "better" at Shield-guarding somehow, but I can't come up with an elegant option that isn't over-powered. Maybe Girded? Or Lash? Maybe native Retaliatory Strike? I don't know. Failing that I think they they need to be fury 4 so you don't give up quite so much hitting power... If the Gladiator is the standard by which we measure Titans, than the Sentry trades too much offense and utility to get it's boosted defense. Another thing I could see is just reducing their point cost a bit. 14 feels right.

The Bronzeback is awesome. He hits SO well for his point cost it's insane. My only problem is that his best ability (leadership) costs so much to get on the table that after you have paid for him to lose a lot of points that you want for the rest of the list to really make it worthwhile. So I think boosting his "herd leading" a bit so that he can really pushes offensive output of the entire herd would be great. I'd like an ability called "Leader of the Pack" that lets Titans within his CMD to charge without being forced against targets he has charged this turn. If that would be too strong coupled with Leadership then make it a "choose one per round" effect.

Honorable mention for Tiberion: I see the price point difference between him and the other Titans and it feels daunting. Like 7 points between him and the Gladiator feels like a LOT. 21 points, maybe 20, feels correct.
