Y'know, BeastPack might not be the be-all, end-all unit they used to be but, they might still be very solid.


Beast rule is still, well... beast.

4++ down to 5++ not great but, I'll still unleash the dogs of war for them fast moving I saves to get into people's faces.

The guess that there will be less restrictions on the organization of the pack (e.g. all Fiends, or Flocks, or Doges, etc...)

I ran 5BMs with 5CFs a few times. Let 1 BM get popped on purpose for that unit majority T5. It is Super Effective!

T5 beasts with grenades and some kind of improved cover can break apart anything barring Land Raider spam, or other 14/14/14 spam... or Falchion GK Terminators but, that's to be expected...

The real hurt is the lost of Baron. 105pts for everything he had was a steal. But... if I wanna go unfluffy, I could always ally in a BikeSeer for BikeTarch... off topic I would suggest the Autarch as he starts with Plasma Grenades and can get the Shard of Anaris same as a Farseer. Grenades are NEEDED for BeastStar!!!

BeastPacks will still be usable in their own right but, I mean what other FA we gonna have? If the rumor mill is churning out truth, Reavers and Hellions are gonna be garbage; cheap $5 a squad on ebay garbage :p
