Manticores and beastmasters?

Post by Hasdrubal »

How will beastmaster riding a manticore be in the new edition? There's been so much talk about the new army book and I've heard about the hydra w/ its beastmasters but I dont think ive read anything about this flying terror-causer. Anybody know anything? link me to a post about it? Thanks!

No more beastmaster heroes, and I'm not sure if you can actually upgrade a beastmaster to go with your hydra.

Good thing is that both masters (nobles) and the new witch elf heroe, the death hag, can ride them now.

Yup, Manticore becomes general Hero Mount so just convert the rider a little (or not, the model is quite nice as it is for me)

I saw somewhere:
Master” The Beastmaster is gone. No longer there as either a character or an upgrade. Instead the new "Master" is the new generic Hero with more upgrades than you can shake a stick at.

So I understand that you can take a Master as simple (and cheap) as possible with the Manti as a mount, possibly he would need a strange tool to handle the beast. There is how you keep using the former beastmaster w/manti.
