What is your take on this monstrosity? I used it in the following game:
http://wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?t=7284 (http://wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?t=7284) and wasn't terribly excited by the results. My basic plan was to send it straight towards an enemy arachnid swarm, pulling an abomination with it, and start wrecking things. Problem is, it only has 8-10 wounds by the time it arrives in combat (from the effects of Unstable Creation and moving). With a defense of 2, the swarm had no problem doing severe damage twice and putting it down. Since it is a big threat, a big target and a big investment, my opponent didn't even think twice about dropping the big cards on killing it.
Do you feed it things to keep it healthy? With Ht 3 and a big base, it will eat ranged attacks and generally come into melee pretty messed up, if at all. 12 stones is pretty expensive and I would hate to bring along an abomination just as food. However, I guess I would get it back so long as I killed at least one target. Maybe it just needs an escort at all times.
What has been the experience for everybody else? What worked or didn't?
Have you ever used it to finish off leveticus? I guess that would be a good way to get rid of him if he had too many wounds to do it himself.
