Hey has anyone ever used red terror with raveners?? Currently built 3 and love the look of them I put on the rending claws and spine fist chests. Got 3 more to build and was thinking of converting one of them into red terror.
Love the idea of doing the swallow whole rule on a character etc.
Has anyone built a red terror before? The gw looks old and strange looking!!

At least the Maleceptor is an MC with AP2

T5 so protects the unit from insta death. His swallow whole whilst gimmicky will just once kill something hilarious which makes him totally worth it.

There aren't actually too many MCs with actual Strength 10, and nobody smashes these days.

Anyway his swallow whole igonores armor saves so there's that, I imagine he is usable as a character killer, if you can get him to chalenge and then swallow whole. But then that's still unlikely.

That's why I just use this with the dimachaeron rules to fill all my red terror needs.

Yeah good idea about dimachareron filling the needs.

I've only been able to consume something once in at least half a dozen games.
