Unit picks are SprueSentry commentary, not part of the formation rule. The formation ability itself is summarised from the free Faction Pack: Sons of Behemat.
Pick a friendly non-Unique Sons of Behemat Hero that does not already have an artefact of power and give it one from the Titanic Trophies table. The faction pack notes that this happens in the deployment phase, not during army composition.
Every Mega-Gargant is a non-Unique Hero, so any of them can be the one that picks up the free artefact.
See the box: price and offersNamed here as the exception: Brodd is Unique, so he cannot be the recipient of the free artefact.

Taker Tribe is the list-building battle formation for Sons of Behemat in Age of Sigmar 4th edition. It is the only one of the four that does nothing during the game itself, and in an army this small that can still be the strongest option.
SprueSentry strategy commentary, not official rules. Summarised from the free Faction Pack: Sons of Behemat, page-stamped February 2025 and confirmed current against the 29 July 2026 Battle Profiles.
The formation ability is More Stuff for Me Collection, used once per battle in the deployment phase. Pick a friendly non-Unique Sons of Behemat Hero that does not already have an artefact of power, and give it one from the Titanic Trophies table.
Because every Mega-Gargant is a Hero, this is effectively a second artefact spread across your gargants rather than a niche bonus for a support character.
The faction pack calls this out in its own designer's note, and it is the detail people get wrong. The artefact is chosen during the deployment phase, not when you write the list.
That is a real advantage, not a technicality. By deployment you have seen your opponent's army and often their deployment, so you can pick between Extra-calloused Feet against infantry, Kingslaughter Cowl against a Hero-led list, or Glowy Shield of Protectiness against a horde. Decide it at the table, not the night before.
The other limit is non-Unique: King Brodd cannot be the recipient.
Players running three or more Mega-Gargants who want maximum flexibility. It is also the safest pick in an unknown meta, because it is the only formation whose value you choose after seeing the match-up.
Pick Taker Tribe when you cannot predict what you will face, or when your list is Mega-Gargant heavy and the Titanic Trophies table has two artefacts you genuinely want. If you know you are facing infantry, Stomper Tribe is a bigger and more reliable swing.
Once per battle in the deployment phase, a friendly non-Unique Sons of Behemat Hero that has no artefact of power gains one from the Titanic Trophies table.
No. The recipient has to be non-Unique, and King Brodd is Unique.
No, and this is the point of the formation. The faction pack's designer's note says the artefact is given during the deployment phase rather than during army composition, so you choose it after seeing what you are up against.
