9th Edition

  • Performance: Unchanged
  • Cost: Unchanged
  • Strategy: Unchanged

The beast goes into 9th edition picking up a couple tricks from the new Psychic Awakening but not enough to really push it’s use in any way. The good news is it made it through the 9th changes without a major change and should benefit from some of the new Line of Sight rules. The problem really becomes getting the beast into 9” range to use his aura abilities and perhaps the new, smaller, boards will make that easier.

Notes

  • Check out Cult of Duplicity for quick delivery
  • Where the Mutalith plays a stronger supporting role in the army, the Maulerfiend will get you better performance
