Thoughts on the Winter Argus Winter Argus in a nutshell The Winter Argus is a cheap warbeast with two short ranged low RAT sprays for clearing infantry, or freezing harder targets with a lucky crit. Its animus generally means opponents might devote effort to killing it in melee or just shooting it to death as making models stationary is really obnoxious to an opponents battle plan. If Circle had more casters who leveraged ranged attacks this beast may see more play. But right now it’s quite muddled, it doesn’t have the power to hurt heavies or the accuracy to hit infantry so it tends to burn through fury hoping for some lucky crits. By that point the Wild Argus charging and using its animus saving 1 point is often a better deal. Combos & Synergies Baldur2 ups its DEF and ARM with Rock Wall and Roots of the Earth, respectively. Using both seriously increases its survivability in melee, and if your opponent wants to kill it they'll likely over-commit to avoid being Stationary the next turn. Kromac1 can use its sprays to trigger Warpath, although you're generally better off using more accurate attacks. Morvahna2 increases its defense against shooting via Fog of War, and allows you to reroll attack rolls to help get that Crit Stationary. Tanith increases its accuracy via Affliction and melee damage with Scything Touch. Putting Admonition on it might allow you to catch enemies with 1" or less melee in a trap, backing up just enough so you can still affect them via Freezer.

Thoughts on the Winter Argus

Winter Argus in a nutshell

The Winter Argus is a cheap warbeast with two short ranged low RAT sprays for clearing infantry, or freezing harder targets with a lucky crit. Its animus generally means opponents might devote effort to killing it in melee or just shooting it to death as making models stationary is really obnoxious to an opponents battle plan.

If Circle had more casters who leveraged ranged attacks this beast may see more play. But right now it’s quite muddled, it doesn’t have the power to hurt heavies or the accuracy to hit infantry so it tends to burn through fury hoping for some lucky crits. By that point the Wild Argus charging and using its animus saving 1 point is often a better deal.

Combos & Synergies

• Baldur2 ups its DEF and ARM with Rock Wall and Roots of the Earth, respectively. Using both seriously increases its survivability in melee, and if your opponent wants to kill it they'll likely over-commit to avoid being Stationary the next turn.
• Kromac1 can use its sprays to trigger Warpath, although you're generally better off using more accurate attacks.
• Morvahna2 increases its defense against shooting via Fog of War, and allows you to reroll attack rolls to help get that Crit Stationary.
• Tanith increases its accuracy via Affliction and melee damage with Scything Touch. Putting Admonition on it might allow you to catch enemies with 1" or less melee in a trap, backing up just enough so you can still affect them via Freezer.
• Argus Moonhound helps it hit
• Call of the Wild - its animus is at 0 cost in this theme force

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Poor stats
• Sentry Stones & Mannikins provide more sprays for cheaper
• You need to boost every attack to hit with the sprays. Very FURY-inefficient.

Tricks & Tips

• Best used against a number of Khador warcasters or Trollblood Warlocks who like freezing people solid.
