So now I realize we've only heard the vaguest of rumors surrounding the rules and playstyle for Storm og Magic, but, given what we have heard has anyone else gone through their army book and searched for units which might seem more usable at the higher point levels and higher magic found in Storm of magic?
I've been digging through the Skaven book and the one unit that stands out to me is the Verminlord. Under most circumstances this guy is mediocre at best. In storm of Chaos where, last I heard, the game centers around wizards capturing magical fulcrums I think a big terrifying beast who is also a level 4 sorcerer would hold a number of advantages. Namely if he can't melt your face he can just rip it off.
I've also been eyeing up the Hierotitan and Casket of Skulls (the Casket is awesome in normal games even) for Tomb Kings and the Cygor for beastmen.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter? What units are you looking forward to using in Storm of Magic that you don't usually pull out of your transports or off your shelves?
