If a Warbeast wants to use its Animus it has to be forced so it would gain a fury point on it...

So if a Troll Axer wanted to use its animus of Rush it would have to be forced to do so: 1 Fury
It uses its Animus and gains 2 fury because the Rush animus costs 2 fury??? : 2 fury... so now it has 3 fury on it?

A warlock wants to use Troll axers Animus on a Mauler...

Axer and Mauler have to be within Warlocks control area?
Mauler has to be within RNG of the Warlock using the Anumus's RNG?
When the animus is used which warbeast would be forced... Axer or Mauler?
The cost of the axers animus is 2, does the warlock just use 2 fury to cast it or does he put 2 fury on the Mauler or Axer?

Confusing i know but i'm so confused with Animus useage.

You only force for the fury cost. So you would put two points of fury on the Axer in any of the cases you listed above.

1. You only pay the cost of the animus, not an additional fury
2. The warbeast has to be in the warlocks control range, if you want to cast the animus with the warlock
3. Of course the target model has to be in the rng of the animus
4. None of the beasts is forced, if a warlock uses an animus, it is a spell the warlock uses and he/she pays for it

Examples:
Axer uses its animus on self: 2 fury on the axer
Axer uses its animus on mauler: 2 fury on the axer
Warlock uses axers animus on mauler or axer: warlock loses 2 fury

Thanks guys helps alot.

Just to clarify Vombaticus' point number 4, if the Warlock casts it it counts as both a spell and an animus when it comes to interacting with other game effects.
