Savage is a great Keyword but can be a little complicated for beginners. This team needs more practice then most. The Gigants all hit like a truck but can be deceptively fragile. Old Ways is very powerful and is key to making Savage models superior to your opponents. This is definitely one of my favorite masters and teams. Thoon is definitely amazing, however not the most essential model in the list. Thoon can be very disruptive to the enemy, and they tend to really fear him. He really forces the opponent to tech to your list. If you can get good with Savage and not need Thoon, your opponent may be over teching for your games. Making your opponent waste points on something they don't need is always a win.
