ReplyDelete-If Hill Tribesmen, Steppe Nomads and Monkey Warriors are Expendable then why aren't Mercenary Ogres?
-Stormhurler Ballista can pierce ranks. I think that might be an oversight since the Elven multi-shots can't pierce ranks.
-Have you considered Repeater Crossbows for Imperial Cavalry?
-I don't like the new fluff for Foo Dogs. If they don't take orders how is the player controlling them? The only fluffy way to use Foo Dogs is to have them camp on an objective, only rushing out to engage ranged units that fire on them or having them camp in a building, which isn't how a typical player would use War Beasts.
