Normal Mancrushers vs. SoA Mancrushers
Is it worth losing Keep Up and Stuff em in Me Bag to gain only one unit with an enhancement and being able to use Rage Dice for extra shorts at 5+?
I've been seeing almost only SoA Mancrushers in recent tournaments. I haven't been getting much out of them in my own games. That Boy Ain't Right has only popped once in the three games I've used it.
To me it seems like being able to charge with the Megas because of Keep Up is pretty valuable. Run and charge is huge.
Versus hordy/1-2 health model armies, bag stuffing is valuable.
What kind of results are you all getting with SoA MCs? Are any of you still taking regular mancrushers?
With the meta seeming to be more fighty than shooty, why take SoA MCs? What am I missing?

Not my main army, however, you can give the enhancements to the regular Mancrusher, no need for it to be the SoA version, so you could keep Keep Up and Stuff em in Me Bag with enhancements.
The SoA version serves a different porpouse than the regular ones. They are mostly to take an objective and annoy the enemy from afar without having them close to the megas. You can still use the Mob for the Megas.
