I love the Beer Pig and the Valkyrie I think is a great addition given how useless Norse Throwers have generally been felt to be.

If the beerpigs are positionals then I hate them. I will need to make alternate pigman sculpts with the keg strapped to their backs. Probably the size of goblins.

I am concerned about what Beer Pigs will do. I had thought they were jus the teams tokens but other rumours say they are players that cost 20k. Guess we will all just have to wait and see.

Valkyrie looks to be a redone Runner. I like the sculpts apart from the Stein in hands.

I reckon beer pigs will be a support unit. I think that you will be able to 'attack' them like a vamp attacks a thrall to get an extra block or something

It's not a rumour, it's what the hosts of the livestream said during the reveal: the beer boars are positionals and they cost 20k.
They also said that they were usefull during half time, but also during the game, and that they didn't hit hard.

I have strong feelings that animals should not be on the pitch. At least give us something humanoid carrying the kegs.

Apparently, Valkyries are an addition that doubles as catchers and throwers. If you can only have access to two of them it still seems like it would play similarly to the previous version. Except, it seems like a complete rework with those keg hogs. I wonder if they will be walking roll buffs?

Beer boars are positionals, theyre 20k. Same as gnoblar stat line, but no swarming. Their ability helps adjacent players stand up quicker, which could mean jump up or possible allow stunned players to stand up rather than wait a turn. But more likely the first.

Lineman or possibly team wide have a trait called drunkard which is -1 to rushing.

Valkyries are an amalgamation of thrower and runner. Basically the same as the runner but with pass and no block

The team has access to chaos undivided and khorn key words.

The rest of the team is the same.
