8th Ed. Predatory Fighter + Poison: Stacking 6'es

Seems like it but, swarms are just bleeding combat res and points that could be better spent else where. Unless you build bastilidons around your swarms, I don't see it working.

Sounds like the bat swarms from VC, great in theory, difficult to execute properly in practice.

if you use swarms corectly they will be gold if you charge with them in middle front or middle of flank you will have a bad time. you need first to charge with saurus and then swarms that they would touch maximum 1 model.

There lies the difficulty of actually pulling off the tactic.. Assuming that your opponent will not deny you such an easy opportunity and that the terrain is in such a condition that you may actually execute the maneuver. Anyway, this seems off topic.

I think it is on topic - Swarms are the only real way Saurus are going to get access to Poison. I do agree that it's not really worth it, though - we saw this same situation with VC Bat Swarms, and they arguably provide a better benefit than the Jungle Swarms (ASL) and are more maneuverable (flight). I hate to say it, but I saw that one coming. If a Swarm isn't at least S3/T3 (a la Nurglings), it likely won't see play.
