GATORMEN!!!!

As many people know, I have 4 Warmachine/Hordes armies.  For Warmachine I have Cygnar, and a Llaelese Resistance Mercanary army.  For Hordes, I have a Circle Orboros and a Gatormen Army.  I want to share a few of my thoughts regarding the Gatormen Army.

This army I built on a whim.  I started with a few warbeast and Rask as a Warlock.

RASK

I liked Rask because of the model and the back story.  I decided to build a small force for a 35 point level game.  The warbeast were versatile and I liked the fact that to be used effectively you need to master the one-two punch type of tricks.

SWAMP HORROR

BULL SNAPPER

IRONBACK SPITTER

I also chose a few solos since I did not want to invest in purchasing units just yet.  I already had one Croak Hunter (which I purchased by mistake a while ago) I added two more to take advantage of their Gang ability.

CROAK HUNTER

Finally, I added a Totem Hunter.  I added him because a) the model is awesome!, b) this model kicks ass!.

TOTEM HUNTER

I built all of the models and played my first game....it did NOT go well. The Gatormen army is a little "tricksy" and it has the ability to achieve a sudden and overwhelming victory.  BUT, you have to know the conditions that create the opportunity for victory (it probably only comes once in a game) and take advantage of it immediate.  If you don't...forget it!  Army is only good for an Assassination Victory.  After I played my 2nd or 3rd game, I got my first win.  I decided to flesh out the army to the 50 point level and invest in units to build up the Tiers and add another Warlock so that if I wanted to, I could run the faction in a tournament.

...next, we add units and select a 2nd Warlock!
