OK, I finally broke this month and got me...
Warpwolf Stalker (£23)
...I love this little puppy. In the first game against Chris' Cryx, it took out five Mechanithrall, five Bane Thralls, a Deathripper, a Slayer and eleven points of damage to Asphixious. Berserk on a P+S 16 large based monster with reach is beautiful, and Prowl on something that big is, quite frankly, insane.
With Kaya the Moonhunter, the Stalker becomes even better. Advance Deployment means he can be set up to counter the biggest concentration of infantry, and Forced Evolution makes him P+S 18 (20!!! with Warp Strength) and DEF 16. I've yet to get a shot off with Dog Pile, but a 13" Threat Range has gotta be fun, too. In the list as it currently stands, the Stalker blitzes up the middle, flanked by the Ferals and protected by the Druids' Counter Magic and Shadow Pack and, the second the lines connect, Kaya moves back and Feats to regroup and give myself a turn to redeploy to hit again.
This works a lot better if you fight things that can't heal. Trainee's goddamn mechaniks can happily repair a near-totalled 'jack in a single round which necessitates actually wrecking the thing. Warmachine is so broke... But hey, at least the Stalker's mini is great.
Next month... The litter!
I want one now, damn it, and I've barely even started painting my Droods!
