===Pros=== * Speed - For starters, this army is fast (average movement of 9")! The slowest member of this battleforce, the Icebrow Hunter (6"), can be "dropped" anywhere on the table once the battle begins so his slow movement isn't a factor overall. This speed allows optimal positioning to set up those much needed charges. You will want these charges because... * Power - These guys hit HARD! Both the stonehorns and mournfangs dish out wounds on the initial charge, so getting the successful charge is always a good idea. Many units also offer multiple attacks with several damage per attack. * Resiliency - These guys are also tough. Everything in this list has some form of save and most fall in the 4+ or 5+ variety. This makes them quite resilient to damage. There is also the added ability for the stonehorns to halve damage from enemy weapons (per the errata) though admittedly this does nothing against single wound weapons and the -1 to hits against thundertusks and yhetees (though only in the combat phase). Its easy to see that these dudes have some pretty awesome staying power. * Distance Attacks - Another thing that makes these guys formidable is their wide selection of ranged attacks. from blood vultures to bolt thrower crossbows, Beastclaw Raiders can hit from almost anywhere without getting into direct combat. Once again, this opens up numerous tactical strategies that can maximize damage and minimize casualties. * Battleline Behemoths - Under certain war scrolls, the massive thundertusks and the hard hitting stonehorns are actually considered battleline. That opens up the door for the possibility of really loading up on these beauties. Because of their abilities, they are usually instant targets when only one or two are on the table. With the opportunity to raise that number to battleline standards, your opponent will not know where to strike first. * Model Count/Cost - One thing that is very attractive about this army to many hobbyists is the small number of models that are required to be purchased and painted to build a viable army. When all the other benefits are considered, being outnumbered isn't something to fear in direct combat. Not to mention the cash that is saved in the long run!! * Theme Music - You get to play Mammoth Rider by Visigoth all the time. Alternatively, the Skyrim or Game of Thrones main theme also works just as well.
