Hollowman Flamebearer ๐ Grymkin Hollowman Lantern Bearer Hordes MiniCrate
Cowards who flee their posts in war their comrades do betray. Lured by golden lantern light, they die while off astray.
Deserters often follow the alluring glow of a strange lantern as they stumble through the darkโand perish. They rise again as empty husks, stripped of hate and fear. Now they bear rifles and march beneath that lantern in the ranks of the Hollowmen.
The lantern man brings the cost of the Hollowmen unit from sheer chaff (1.3pt/model) up to a roughly elite unit's cost (1.6pt/model). For this, he offers essentially no increase in offensive ability, no mini feat, no threat range extension. So, why would you bring him?
He provides RFP on the guns and melee of the Hollowmen unit. Ranged RFP is exceptionally rare in the game, and the hollowmen are one of the best sources of it anywhere. It also is one of the "True" Remove from Play effects in Grymkin that denies souls, unlike the RFP on the heavies. Remove from Play is very powerful as an effect to have against the right armies.
He brings concealment to the unit - this takes their terrible statline and makes it so its sometimes decent against enemy ranged attacks. This is of course, assuming your opponent has no sprays, and their ranged force doesnt ignore concealment.
He adds an additional defensive element to the unit - Recursion. Bloodbound is a very powerful recursion mechanic that actively punishes your opponent for running many troops that are killed easily by Hollowmen. If you are returning Hollowmen with this effect you will find the unit becomes hardier and more resiliant in an unconventional way.
Essentially the things to look out for is if your opponents are going to be running living armies (ie - NOT warjack heavy, undead heavy etc), and to consider if you need remove from play. If the answer to both of these is "No" then you should leave the lantern man at home. Do not treat him like an auto include, and do not netdeck him into your lists. He requires a very specific consideration of the match ups you'll face and the meta you play in.
Minis in this line from Privateer Press's Mini-Crate are cast one time and then the molds are destroyed so they can never be cast again.
