Lesser Warbeast Rules

Lesser warbeasts are simply warbeasts with a 30mm base. While the rules don't explicitly call out lesser warbeast rules, there are some rules that imply some restrictions. Lesser warbeasts don't count for the following:

• Spirit Bond: (must be medium-based or larger)
• List creation: (they don't count toward caster cohort model count)

A lesser warbeast is still a warbeast.

Lore

Scarabs are enormous, ravenous insect-like creatures native to the Trembling Waste. Skorne beast handlers drive scarabs mad with hunger, then loose them onto the battlefield in advance of a main force to consume any living thing in their path. The terrifying sight of these voracious beasts swarming over defenses has caused even veteran soldiers to flee for their lives.
