Now for the list:

Calaban the Gravewalker +6
Ironhide Spitter 8
Bull Snapper 3
Gatorman Posse (max) 9
Farrow Bone Grinders (max) 3 [Required by tier 2]
Wrong Eye & Snapjaw 9 [Required by tier 3]
Feralgeist 1 [Gains ability from tier 2]

26/35

Any ideas how to fill the remaining 9 points? Two more Bull Snappers are 6 points and take me to tier 4 (four beasts in Calaban's battlegroup), but I'd rather not spam stuff if I can help it. A full unit of Bog Trog Ambushers are 8 points but I'm pretty certain I need more beasts for Calaban's battlegroup.

I already own the Gatormen, Feralgeist, Wrong Eye and Snapjaw. The rest, apart from a minimum unit of Farrow Bone Grinders, are optional as I don't own them yet.

[edit] Fixed Calaban's points cost.

Wish i could help you, but haven't even seen any of the minions theme stuff, nor the rules for Caliban.

I'm really looking into doing the Farrow/Gators for hordes, as Mercs are my true love for WM.

There's a link to Calaban's theme in my previous post. Calaban is spoiled here. I had a look at his card today and the spoilers for him all seem to be correct.

I'm prepared to take these spoilers as gospel at this stage, if I buy this army I'll buy the book first anyway.

I'm not really looking for a killer list, just knocking around a few ideas for a workable list that doesn't contain lots of the same thing. I'm planning to get a Bull Snapper (for Wrong eye) and some Bone Grinders (for Moshar, Cassius and others) anyway. I'd like to be able to make a one off list for now rather than leap fully into the Blindwater pact.

It's nice that there's cross pollenation of the farrow and gators.

Don't forget that if you give Wrong Eye a beast there is a discount. So with that you could give WE a snapper for 2 points, a min unit of Trogs at 5 and 2 points to give some ranged with either Pendrake or Croak.

Spiney Growth for Snapjaw or WE will be helpful once they go for the melee fight. WE can use the snapper as a transfer to not burden down Snapjaw on damage.

That 2 points left over can either be for the Croak to charge living models engaged for 4d6 damage or Pendrake to try and KD models.

Some interesting ideas there. I does look like I'm stuck with getting multiple Bull Snappers. I'm not very happy about that, I may proxy all but the first one or two. in the hope that 2011 brings another light amphibious warbeast.

I've modified the list below:

Calaban the Gravewalker +6
Ironhide Spitter 8
Bull Snapper 3
Bull Snapper 3
Gatorman Posse (max) 9
Farrow Bone Grinders (min) 2 [Required by tier 2]
Bog Trog Ambushers (min) 5
Wrong Eye & Snapjaw 9 [Required by tier 3]
Bull Snapper 2 [Gains ability from tier 3]
Feralgeist 1 [Gains ability from tier 2]

35/35

I'd like to make room for Pendrake or a Croak as well as Swamp Gobbers but they may have to wait for a 50 point list.

I think 2 snappers in a list is enough from what I've been running so far. Could drop that extra one on Caliban for a Totem Hunter or Thrullg. Either one gives good offensive support options.

It does feel like a lot of Snappers but I don't like running my Warlocks with just enough fury generation to keep him going. That's the problem with having access to only three different beasts.

Nods, when I run beasts, I want there to be enough beasts to that if one of them dies, I can still pull fury relatively easy.

And try with the Farrow. Only two beasts.

I don't see any Wrasslers in the list.

Maybe make room for one instead of doubling on the snapper?

I really really hate the Wrastler model. Until I come up with a conversion solution I won't be getting one.
