Three new, MASSIVE THICC BOIS, the biggest plastic GW kit so far, able to stare Archaon in the eye while he's on Dorghar; plus some regular gargants; are ready stomp on your face.

Due for release ''any day now'', all we actually have to go on are a points table in GHB2020, some fluff and pictures. Surprisingly, there's a lot you can squeeze out of that.

==Why Play Sons Of Behemat?==
* 'Cuz they are fucken [[Awesome|GIANTS]]. Chicks dig drunken giants.
* Ultra elite army. In 2000pts min six models, max ten.
* No need to bother with that other faff other factions have to think about: No allies, no wizards, no endless spells, no battalions, no faction scenery.

'''Pros:'''
* Getting your army built and painted will be really quick. Given they are basically oversized [[fa/tg/uys]], they are ripe for customization too.
* Rending attacks everywhere.
* They can be Allies with any faction, no matter the Alliance (but you can't ally anything into SoB).
* Single model units are immune to bravery checks. [[Ossiarch Bonereapers|Nagash's boney boys]] aren't the only faction to ignore bravery anymore.
* Very good at close combat.
* If you thought Nurgle was EXTRA THICC...
* Your faction acronym is SoB.

'''Cons:'''
* Just two kits. (Okay, one of those is amazing, and the other is ok)
* Everyone is a MONSTER, so good luck surviving specialist monster hunters. Other Destruction factions, especially Bonesplitterz and Beastclaw Raiders, will be your bane.
* Shooting is practically non-existent.
* Being ultra elite, you’re bringing only single digit models. So EVERYONE will outnumber you.
* Hope you weren't planning on playing objectives. Draws are no longer won by whoever killed the most, which makes things even worse for us.
* Your faction acronym is SoB.

==Warscrolls==
===Leaders===
*'''Gatebreaker Mega-Gargant''' (490)

*'''Kraken-eater Mega-Gargant''' (490)

*'''Warstomper Mega-Gargant''' (480)

===Battleline===
''Battleline in {{AOSKeyword|Sons of Behemat}} army and not counted as Behemoth. Maximum sized units count as 3 battleline units.''

*'''Mancrusher Gargants''' (180/480, min 1, max 3)

===Behemoth===
*'''Bonegrinder Gargant'''? (400pts) (Forgeworld)
''Only if {{AOSKeyword|sons of behemat}} keyword gets added to his warscroll''. Even then he'll be a difficult option to recommend. At 80 points lower than the poster boys (and he's not going to get a points change until the December FAQs), you won't be able to squeeze anything into that gap, except for a CP. Take two and you can get one extra Mancrusher, so ''maybe'' there's something there. And three Bonegrinders is just crazy talk.

==Battalions==
None.

==Allies==
None.

==Mercenaries==
Mercenaries allow you to take a special named Sons of Behemat hero in a non Sons of Behemat army. One model per allegiance, with destruction able to take any. They are named, meaning only destruction gets to take more than one Mega-Gargant.

===Named Leaders===
*'''Bundo Whalebiter''' ''Order or Destruction''
A Kraken-eater mercenary. You can choose at the start of the Combat phase for him to fight at the end of the phase, in exchange for re-rolling failed hit rolls.

*'''One-Eyed Grunnok''' ''Chaos or Destruction''
A Warstomper mercenary. Reroll jump attacks of 1, plus enemies get -1 to hits on previous jump attacks of 6.

*'''Big Drogg Fort-Kicka''' ''Death or Destruction''
A Gatebreaker mercenary. He has a breath attack that attacks one unit within 3" at the end of the combat phase; roll a dice for each model in the unit and deal 1MW on a 6+.

==Tactics==

===List Building===
With SoB alliance you don't have much choice

====2000 points====
*Exactly 4 choices to make (one for each 500 point "slot")
*Min 6 models, max 10 models.
*Min 1920 points (or 1970 if you buy a CP), max 2000 points.
*Possible lists:
**3 Mancrushers, 3 Mega-Gargants
**6 Mancrushers, 2 Mega-Gargants
**9 Mancrushers, 1 Mega-Gargant
*Mancrushers: One set of three can be split however you like, the rest must be taken in threes.
**Alternatively, if you ''really'' want all your Mancrushers to be solo you could drop one. Might be feasible with 8, as that might give you some extra board control. But with 5 you've got a lot of wasted points left over.

====1000 points====
*Possible lists:
**1 Mega-Gargant, 3 Mancrushers
**1 Mega-Gargant, 2 Mancrushers, 1 CP
