Combat Discipline* [C]: Recast any or all Combat Stones.
Activation:
Coordinated Beast Strike* [A]: Used during a model’s activation. Immediately make an attack against an Adjacent model. Do not benefit from support, but gain one additional Combat Stone for each friendly Beast directly Engaged with the target model.   
Charge (X)[A]: After Moving, immediately fight a combat against an Adjacent model. Cast (X) additional Combat Stones. Neither side can benefit from support. This skill cannot be used if the model had to Move Cautiously.   
Powerful Charge [A]: If this model moves more than 4” from its starting position during its turn it gains Powerful until the end of the next Combat Phase. Blows landed by a Powerful model are saved with a -1 modifier.

     Thanks from all for these they look very appealing, I'm guessing that you will be there tomorrow I'll be around to say hi.

     Looking forward to seeing how things are shaping up for you.

Are the dhogu currently considered a part of the Delgon, or a standalone force?

I think while they can be played as a stand alone they are part of the delgon.

Yup, the dhogu are effectively mercs. They would primarily fight for the Delgon, but can fight on their own, or even for some of the more northern clans of the empire (probably shouldn't be used with herders or the hunter in the same force).

I'm wondering about forming a Dhogu honour guard for the mayor of Larigal, kinda Gurkha style, and then doubling that up as the nucleus of a non-Delgon aligned independent Dhogu clan force who for some historical reason (probably got helped out by a wandering Larigalian engineer) send foolhardy youngsters down to Larigal. Does this sound fluffy? Larigal is a fair way south so they probably would have the Fub hunter/herders, but if I restrict the Dhogu to spears, bows, and a captain d'you think that would remain in balance?

Sounds like a good plan to me! Good idea with the restrictions as well.
