I reckon you need to be playing >2500 to get value from it, so i will only use it occasionally. Pretty model, though, so don’t feel too bad.
Used it yesterday at 2500, it didn’t achieve anything that bull centaurs could not have up on the front line, and I really could have used my level 4 on my back line to ash storm approaching units as swordmasters were able to attack my flank and mince through my war machines, I’d have slowed them down sufficiently if the SP was back there to help.
its a nice model I’ve just finished painting mine… i might pop up a pick if i get enough courage… but i agree I’ve only ever seen it at 2500> and I’m planning on using it at 3000 at my local club for the annual huge Xmas slaughter battle at 3000pts per person (3v3 so far) battle in a few weeks.
I really like the idea of a Bale Taurus. Well, either Taurus has their benefits, actually. The Bale Taurus can help turn your Prophet into a combat machine. The flame attack, breath weapon, stomp, etc make him tough. The high WS, armor, and magic weapon the Prophet gets is also pretty cool. I’ve thought about taking a lvl 4 of Fire just to go for the 2 augment spells to heal the Taurus. Maybe even a healing potion on the Prophet.
