Gator!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody Barnabas is an aged gatorman warlock and a veteran of countless battles. In the wilds of western Immoren, only a gator of surpassing strength and tenacity could hope to reach his level of combat expertise. Barnabas calls upon the great warbeasts of the swamps to combat his foes, and he directs their attacks with cunning precision. Before his hungry children swarm, Barnabas summons a magical black tide to choke the enemies of the congregation, leaving them vulnerable.
I already have Carver and a War Hog but I am getting this gator too. Besides I can use the Farrow Warbeasts with Rorsh and Gator warbeast with Wrong Eye. To be honest, this is the faction I have been waiting for. I cannot wait to see the Warbeasts that will go with him.
No, sorry. I called Gators first!
You already have one of everything else. I only have 2 armies. So i get dibs. :)
Gators of voracious appetites, the massive blackhide wrastlers can easily drag the mightiest foes down to be shredded in a flurry of teeth and claws. They are also highly territorial beasts that glide through the swamps and shallows to sink their teeth into anyone who wanders close to gator-held land.
Now this is what AWESOME is all about.
Charlie did call dibs. Here's some inspiration for you, Chuck, from the great Jim Henson, with Randy Newman (the Schoolhouse Rock alum) on vocals. www.youtube.com/watch
Much to Charlie's dismay, I called dibs on starting a Captain Gunnbjorn Trollblood list and he did abide, but then again, 'the Dude abides' as they say.
I'm totally painting mine with a mexican wrestling mask.
And they shall be known as the Luchadores of Hordes.
Ok, I've seen some of the spoilers for the Blindwater Congregation. I am SOOOOOOO there!
The Wrastler can...well...WRASTLE! When he hits something with a bite, he can immediately knock it down ALONG WITH HIMSELF. But here is the key...he can still engage and attack while knocked down! Its called Deathroll! In addition, his animus allows himself or another knocked down model to immediately stand up (kind of like the trolls Fell Caller). He's not especially strong though, so he'll probably have some issues with high armor targets.
Bloody Barnabas can create up to three 5" swamps in his control area kind of like Baldur's OLD forest spell.. Anything with the Amphibious rule in those swamps cannot be shot at. But even nastier, think of the Wrastler combined with those swamps on a Warjack!
My ONLY concern is these guys will be frustrating to play against.
Barnabas is nic but what about this gator and this light gator warbeast:
The monstrous gatorman warlock called Calaban the Grave Walker commands fearsome powers over life and death. With his bone staff in one hand and skull talisman in the other, Calaban can drain the life force from an enemy and then use the withered shell left behind as a conduit for his dark magic.
Powerful gators with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, bull snappers are terrifying monsters that lurk beneath the still surface of swamplands held by the Blindwater Congregation. Surging up from the water, a bull snapper seizes its victim in jaws that close with the force of a colossal bear trap, ensuring its target cannot escape a bloody and painful demise.
This now brings the total amount of minion warlocks to 2 gator and 2 farrow. Perhaps more are still in hiding.
For those of you who have not seen the other farrow warlock, or at least, I think he is another farrow warlock, because in the fluff for the War Hog and Gun Boar he is their creator.
Dr. Arkadius is a skilled surgeon and scientist with an obsession for the manipulation and development of life. Constantly striving to create ever more terrible warbeasts, strengthening their bodies, making them more aggressive, and healing their wounds in battle. Dr. Arkadius can also turn his skills upon his enemies, using his combat syringe to inject potent serums designed to scramble a target’s higher brain functions or even usurp control of its body.
What's the other farrow warlock besides Carver?
I'm fairly certain you won't see any others for a long time. For the coming minion book, you can find the product number list on the PP forums and I'm fairly certain its completely full now with the addition of the snapper and caliban.
Charlie, the good doctor in my post above (the one with Caliban and the Bull Snapper) has a picture and description of the good doctor. He is the other warlock that you can take in the Thornfall Alliance, which can only use Farrow Warbeasts, thus he is the other farrow warlock but he is not a farrow model.
Ohhhh! I thought he was just a solo! Thats pretty neat then!
Now this is what COOL is all about:
I have already decided Gators will be my second Hordes army...
