Gatorman Posse

Among the most formidable warriors of all the savage races, gatormen augment their natural battle prowess with brutal strength and oversized weapons. The barest scent of blood drives them into a killing frenzy, and a single gatorman can slay several men in a few gore-splattered seconds. Gatormen have no qualms about fighting for any master as long as they are provided with steel weapons and ample food.

Thoughts on Gatorman Posse

Gatorman Posse in a nutshell

Solid heavy infantry although a bit overpriced for what they do and, with everyone teching to defeat jacks, heavy infantry is less of a threat. They are one of the few infantry units with 8hp/model and can take a pounding thanks to Arm 16 and Unyielding.Def 14 vs shooting (due to concealment) makes them pretty hardy when coming in also

Combos & Synergies

• Blindwater, as mentioned above.
• The other place where they shine is (again) another theme force. The Skorne Disciples of Agony theme force gives them access to +2 STR and immunity to knockdown. Add in an Agonizer and you have a fairly durable brick.
• Jalaam can give them pathfinder and stealth with a single spell, which suddenly make them much better. Happily, he is now available in Disciples of Agony.
• Maelok the Dreadbound gives them an extra two points of ARM, and another two during feat turn - which lets them become really bricky in theme.
• Bloody Barnabas can give them a deceptive amount of mobility with Death March, as well as a MAT buff.
• Death Archon can make them even tankier in themes where they're allowed with Mortal Fear.
• Barnabas0 gives them the Henchmen bonus for +1 MAT and +1 SPD.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• For such an expensive unit they lack Pathfinder
• They can't do much against high ARM, multi-wound models.

Tricks & Tips

• Don't hold them back; between their armor boost when engaged and snacking giving them a steady source of HP replenishment, the Posse are hard to remove in the thick of combat, to the point where they are safer embedded in a blob of enemy infantry than out of combat and exposed to ranged fire.
• Remember while the Posse has a 2" reach, you want them base-to-base to get their bite attacks as well.
