I second this statement, Minions have ALWAYS made an excellent Q9 counter for me when I've played. He just cant stop all of them consistently, especially if you draft 2 squads and even more so if you can get ahold of the movement glyph, these guys become a force of nature.

Plus their sculpts are one of my favorites for a melee squad, Axes are awesome.
