Competitive play is always a weird beast and nearly always requires a small specific subset of models. At least the beastclaw raiders form an actual faction lore & model-wise (especially if you count regular mawtribe ogers as well)
3 models total seems increadibly little. Especially as they don't really combine into a functional society/faction/army
I mean beastclaw you got:
- Lord on Stonehorn/frosthorn as the leaders
- Stonehorn/frosthorns as the big fancy elite bodyguards of their leaders
- mournfangs as the general rank & file
- hunters as a specialist
- Sabres as hunter pets
- Yhetii's as sort of camp followers that happen to stick around for some scraps.
There's social hierarchy & a natural command structure, and if you'd want you can add the mawtribes to further flesh it out.
The giants so far have:
- giant that presumably likes the sea
- Giant that likes cities
- regular giant
Like how does that even interact with eachother? Imho the biggest struggle for this army is giving it halfway compelling fluff.
A have yet to see a game with Finecrap ogre models, at all. Not even narrative games include them.
I haven't seen nothing than magnetized mammoths and Mournfangs, and now Leadbelchers and some Tyrants.
Yet, I'm pretty sure the new Sons of Behemat will have special rules, and enough options to make them unique on the kits. Kinda like what happened in the last Tau Codex, having XV-8s as actual Commanders instead modified versions.
Also, remember Imperial Knights Codex. We are finally getting one on AoS.
Yes, e all like different looking models in our ranks, but given how the original Giant and these new Gargants already have tons of options in the sprues, and that once I heard from Pan-Pizza/Rebel Taxi "with limitation, comes creativity", I'm pretty sure this will be not a problem.
I'd be more worried about how to transport them, instead...
