Slaughterborn is an excellent solo and helps keep them moving, because he prevents knockdown. On the min side: they are not undead. And they are a bit slower then other options we have. (except on charge).

In the end it is an asthetics thing I think. I do not think they fit with my current lists, but maybe when I make a venethrax list they will fit in... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2179452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2179452.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it?
They aren't undead, but they are fearless, so that's close enough, and they're medium bases so they can block charge lanes, and can't be trampled over.

A solid unit, without a doubt, and a solid solo.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2179697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2179697.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it?
If you take Gorgers, he should be in the list.
Though it's not so the other way around.

Gorgers are cool because they are a unit on medium bases which can block line of sight to medium based casters and with No KD Tough when Gerlik is around, it's a nice screen if you need it and are hot on tough rolls.

Else, they do need help getting through terrain and some way to improve hitting or damage if they go after anything really tough.

Gang is nice, but medium bases are sort of the balancer to it. The gorgers are there to primarily take out light and medium infantry, and with buffs/debuffs can take on harder stuff as said (assuming Gang is in effect).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2179862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2179862.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it?
If you take Gorgers, you take Slaughterborn for sure. No Knockdown is too great.

They are great against infantry with Gang + overtake and two base attacks, which surprisingly no one has mentioned yet.

Charge a unit @ 10 inch charge range, kill a model overtake an inch and hit another model, most likely killing it.

I love to take a unit with pDenny, with her debuffs and feat + gang you can drop heavies all day long with them.

Also, Slaughterborn will regularly eat entire units, and if you sit him behind or inside a unit of Bloodgorgers, he is protected untill you decide to use him. People will try to kill slaughterborn, but if you protect him, he is a lot more dangerous.

I also love using Gorgers with the General with Venethrax.

Use the Skarlock to cast Soul Harvester on the Gorgers. Send them at a squishy unit yeilding Venethrax a load of soul.

Activate Venny, Soul Harvester Slaughterborn, and put puppet strings on him. Have him charge a unit, and laugh as the following turn Venethrax will be sitting on 15+ focus.

If you have an arc node you pretty much guaranteed win.

Also he makes a great gaurd dog with egore/Epic Goreshade with suden death cast on him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2183336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2183336.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it? eGaspy, and The Coven.

People are correct in saying that if you have the gorgers, you bring Gerlak, but not necessarily the other way around. There are many lists that I find I can fit Gerlak into just on his own.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2193901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2193901.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2195534.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2195534.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it? eGaspy? Im guessing not as much with gaspy perfering the bane knights and thralls. And how about pDeny? Seems they could be nasty with her.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2202671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2202671.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it?
Only problem I have with them is that I do not like their models. The rules are excellent. Maybe I will try to get a hold of alternative models... maybe... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2202870.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2202870.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it?

Gerlack can be used with anyone. He is great in every single list, and one of the best solos around. He might be my only cryx auto include.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2204807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2204807.page GMT Slaughterborn &co worth it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2215486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/331224/2215486.page GMT
