No, you're correct. I used poor wording. I meant more that the drawback of Obedience is hardly felt, with proper management, in the Beastia. Make no mistake, losing Wild attacks is a drawback.

I would like to see Obedience be contingent on Anum being on the table. Losing Anum in the Beastia is rough, especially considering you're also losing Wild attacks.

I think over anything else this is what keeps Beastia balanced. Amun is the linchpin. If he dies your efficiency and almost all benefits go out the window. A lot less risk involved when running with Morituri benefits.

In a tournament setting I wonder how early one would have to declare the benefits they'll use. It could lead to some mind games.

I imagine that if the tournament requires pre-made lists, that choosing the benefits would have to be done at the same time as choosing the cards in the list. That feels most intuitive to me anyway. Treating the benefits card just like the rest of the cards in the list, just a "free" one.

Yes, this is a new AR inspired band name.

Also a thread topic I pondered. I remember Zreef posting many pictures before of him playing 3v3 games of AR using his Anum cohort. It was basically made up of the only way that you could build a Bestiae cohort with 3 models and 3 cards that I could think of, at the time - Anum, Leo, Sereqet. The other beasts were all 2 stages and so wouldn't fit, but those two were single stage.

Since then, we have gotten two new beasts, both horses, and both single stage. So a new Bestiae cohort option which could be quite cool-looking would be Anum and the Horses. Anum, Caho-Ta, Dextarius. Hoof to face.

Zreef's early configuration is probably more environmentally appropriate, since Anum is a Morituri and thus desert-based, and I can imagine both lions and scorpions in the desert quite easily. The horses seem more northern. But I like that you can have two of the same animal this way.

So now comes the question of (other than Sereqet) who should I add.

OK, so it must be just me, but I never seem to be "happy" with any of the basic, run of the mill, groupings in tabletop games. I always seem to gravitate towards the "odd Ball" army build options. In this case, I first fell in love with the Anum model. A guy who has a pet Hyena, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!???? Absolutely have to have him. Then I realized I could run him and beasts as a cohort and I was in hook-line-and-sinker. Now I have my Morituri and I'm waiting breathlessly for Anum to get back in stock. So now comes the question of (other than Sereqet) who should I add. Leo is an obvious choice, but what model should round out my possible cohort roster.
