I've never yet faced any of the horrors. Are there really any more desirable than a normal SC? My impression was that Doom Horrors are scary largely because they appear in assassination-type attacks, and because even if you win they can still horror-mark you for repeats. Someone posted Kurgi's stats a while back and, aside from IIRC Blood Vengeance, they didn't look that impressive when matched against a conventional army.

I've only seen Umor's initial form. In that form, he has strength 20, attack skill 25, six attacks per turn. The attacks are:

Curse Luck (MR)
Life Drain (AP,life drain)
4 * Astral Claw (AN)

In each round of attacks my unit lost about 90 HP (it was a treelord, and it took 3 sets of attacks to die). Protection doesn't help because of the AN. Blood Vengeance took care of most of the bodyguard/summons thrown at Umor.

So, it's got decent damage, good crowd control through Blood Vengeance, and a decent MR of 20. Zero encumberance, and healing 10HP per round with Life Drain. And that's just the first form.
