Description
The Predator Heavy Warjack is a hybrid weapon system based on a standard Centurion chassis. Adding a Defender's targeting matrix for the addition of a ranged weapon onto the Centurion's chassis. The weapon system is the idea of a Rhullic Engineer in King Leto Rhaelthorne's employ at the Cygnar foundries, Rymus Ironhands. The concept had been a long time coming after witnessing the power of a unit of Arcane Tempest Gun Mages. Commissioning the Magelock Cannon almost two years before Khador's invasion of Llael, the finished product arrived a mere four days before the invasion began. The Cortex was commissioned through Cyriss technicians, adding the blood of a Gun Mage Warcaster as a final alchemical ingredient. Taking away the Magno Shield, a twin bladed gauntlet was added in as a close in melee system. Another 'Idea' from Rymus. As a Gun Mage Warcaster had to be chosen for this weapon system, and since Allister Caine was not only assigned elsewhere but bonded to two separate magelocks another was chosen Captain Adept T'mys Willis. Research with the magelock cannon allowed further testing and training with other gun mage officers allowing Gun Mage officers to be trained in the art of 'Rune Shot'.
Special Rules
Predator
- Affinity (Willis): Guardian - The Predator is overly protective of Willis and gains +1 SPD and +2 on all attack and damage rolls during any round he suffers damage as result of an enemy attack.
- Limited Field Allocation - The Predator can only be fielded with a Gun Mage: Allister Caine, Kara Sloan, T'mys Willis, or Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer.
Magelock Cannon
- Arcane Effect - Each time the Magelock Cannon is used to make a ranged attack, choose one of the following effects:
- Blaze - After a successful attack, roll an additional two damage dice.
- Long Shot - The magelock Cannon gains +6" RNG for this attack.
- Flash Fire - Target any model within range regardless of line of site. Flash Fire ignores cover, cloud effect, obstructions, and intervening models.
- Detonator - On a critical hit, Detonator explodes inside its target. Roll damage normally, and then make a second POW 14 damage roll and add an additional die to the roll.
- Shocker - Target warjack hit by this attack automatically takes a damage point to its first available cortex system box.
- Thunderbolt - Target model hit by this attack is pushed back d6". On a critical hit target model is also knocked down.
Twin Bladed Gauntlet
- Fist - The Predator's Twin bladed Gauntlet has the abilities of an Open Fist.
Concept Notes
This Warjack concept was created before rules for 'Affinity' and 'Rune Shot' were created. Similar to play as a Defender but with the addition of Magelock Cannon allows for probably one of the most devastating ranged weapons in the game. The bond was originally similar to that of the Old Witch and her Scrapjack, thereby limiting you choice of warcasters for this unit. Since the Affinty rule set it has since been adapted to use with multiple Cygnar Warcasters, while keeping an important aspect between the warjack itself and Captain Adept T'mys Willis. A Traditional Cygnar paint scheme for the Centurion was used since it was the base model in this construction. Centurion parts: Body, Head, Shoulders, Left Arm, Knee Pads. Hammersmith parts: Legs. Defender parts: Cannon. Renegade parts: Arc Node.
Playtesting Notes
This unit has yet to be playtested.
