Honorable Mention: Sons of Bragg
Cheap
character unit that can spread out, has some great abilities, and are
like more flexible champions. Great synergy since they can also accept
other fell calls.
#3 Gatorman Witch Doctor
Awesome
utility support solo. Still bites like a gator, but brings some nifty
magic abilities that are pretty accurate. He can have some fun with Sacrifical Strike on nearly-dead gatormen and making things undead and tough will be useful for other Hordes factions like Circle, Skorne, and Legion.
#2 Captain Farilor and Standard
He
gets a bad rap because he's not as OMGWTFBBQ powerful as other UAs out
there and he's a bit pricey. However, as a UA, he offers great
survivability for the unit with a mini-feat in combination with defensive line making the Legionnaires ARM 20 for a turn, with set defense,
and enemy spells are at -5 RNG when targeting them. He might not make
them more killy, but Legion needed more survivability anyway.
#1 Gallows Grove
Circle players all over the world get giddy when they see these guys. No surprise with a 1-point arc node that advance deploys. They make both Kruegers, Morvahna, Cassius (naturally) and especially Mohsar very happy. While they also offer entropic force,
the 3" bubble makes taking advantage of this ability very situational.
These guys will find their way into most Circle lists and they at least
offer us a way of removing really obnoxious tough infantry if we really need to get a bead on the enemy warcaster/warlock.
