If I read the new FAQ correctly, Look Out Sir is now useless for a Baron-led beast pack? It used to be that the Baron could LOS shots to razorwings or khymerae, but now it has to go to the closest model? Should an IC-led beast pack now have a Clawed Fiend as the closest model for this strategy to work?

Keep a razorwing and a kymerae in base to base contact, both are equally close, done!

No, don't do that. If you do that and take two strength 6+ shots (Like, from say, an autocannon.) and the khymerae fails his 4++, then you lose both the khymerae and the 5 wound razorwing base.

Do what I did before I figured out LoS! shenanigans. Use movement shenanigans. If you're planning on charging that thing over there with the str 6+, put the Khymerae out front. If there are tactical marines off to the left with their bolters and jazz, put the razorwings over there to soak up wounds. You've got more than enough movement to adapt to any situation, use it. Obviously, it's rarely as simple as just a line of khymerae to the left and a line of razorwings to the right, but again. You've got plenty of movement speed, and (hopefully) a good brain in your skull. Keep baron on the corner between the two beast types, making it even harder for your opponent to try and allocate shots where he wants them.
