Any of the monsters on this list simply can’t be compared to a tomb scorpion. It’s the most undercosted unit in the game. Like why does it have monster slayer for less than 80 pts?!
Played an RTT last weekend. Game one one scorpion charged galrach monster slayed him, overan into a warpflame dragon and monster slayed that too. Two dragons killed by the bottom of turn 2 by a 70pt unit that then hid in the back the rest of the game
With regen becoming so strong in TOW (fire mostly doesn't affect, unless your flammable) I wonder whether "vanilla" monsters is good enough. It feels like these days it should have armor+regen or ward to be good enough. with AP being easy to come by just having a 4+ armor save does not feel all that good
The bigger problem is how stackable it is on character behemoths. Making mounted characters a combined model was a good change, but they really need to curb stacking armour+ward+regen.
When was it? Back in 2018 or 19, I thought WAY ahead and bought the 'Start Collecting' Box with the Spider Riders and a big Arachnarok Spider. I didn't open it back then. "Oh, boy! Someday I will need you." Iput it on my workshop shelf. I knew the day would I would congratulate myself for my foresight and just all-round genius... ...The Arachnarok is F-tier: "For Ebay, NiB"😐
@@Omalley69 I could see potentially one oddnob on an arach, but two? Both level 4? I assume you play bigger than 2k, because that's zero items and still not enough room for a naked warboss.
Engine of the Gods only buff wizards (quick explanation for viewers who do not know what they do, 2 Engines in list -> wizards get +1 in 6" range of the Engine), Bound Spells are not cast by a wizard, as far as I understand the rules. Edit: another thing I want to add, young steg gets a huge buff, if ridden by a skink chieftan, you can give the steg a 5+ ward this way and in melee the enemy has to strike against ws 4 instead of the ws 2 of the skink crew. For this tier list you can ignore this, it was said in the beginning that the "character variant" was not rated.
@CloseOrder It's particularly funny since my Beastmen as painted was Tzeentch beasts from back when they were an option in 6th edition... so he's a big, blue Khorne spawn...
He was rated alongside characters when they did that list, so I'm assuming that's why he was left out here. Which makes sense imo since he's taken from your character allowance, and the others on this list aren't.

I really balked when I noticed it had that rule for SOME reason xD
First time using a Scorpion, I killed an enemy Stonehorn. Love them ever since.
Poor ghorgon, was good for a moment

Hahaha wow! I bet your opponent regretted letting that Overrun happen!

Since Lewis is canonically a monstrous creature, I demand to know why he wasn't included in the rankings.
Because he was too busy for me! Rude I know
Ahahahaaaa

Ed, I challenge anyone to build a competitive list with at least two Chimeras and you’ll hear them screaming “FFFFFFFFF” (tier).
Somebody is taking multiples to the World Team Champs this weekend. I'm very intrigued

I've been using my Ghorgon as a Khorne Giant Spawn. It's an upgrade unfortunately...
I bet that fills you with glorious khornate rage 👀
