Hi all,
Yesterday warroom was officially updated with the mercenary model "Eilish Garrity, the occultist".
For some reason,not only he is a human arcanist apparently the retribution doesn't wish to murder, but he can also work for our faction!
Very brief summary of its abilities:
He is spd 6, def 13, arm 14, 5 boxes, magic ability 6. Costs 5 pc.
Has arcane void as our voidtracers (commad 5").
After casting a spell, he can be placed completely within 5".
Mental force - when casting offensively, attack and damage rolls are boosted, but he then takes d3 damage.
Spells: 1) Bleed rng 8, pow 10, if damages living recovers d3 boxes (to balance mental force, obviously); 2) puppet master; 3) unbinding - enemy upkeep spells on models/units within 5 of this model expires AND models who controlled such spells suffer d3 damage for each spell dispelled.
What do you think? Some casters will love him.
I always missed with helynna and Issyria a reliable dispel effect (Hemera often runs and it's a critical effect anyway).
On the other hand, he dispels within 11", without movement buffs, and he is pretty fragile.
I'm trying to figure him out, keeping in mind that the new theme will likely allow us to include him.

I think he most likely won't be able to get his dispel on enemy models, because if he stands anywhere threatening, he is most likely dead. Puppet master is good,though and removing Debuffs from things like Sentinels seems pretty good.

I think puppet master is the main thing why to choose him. So any sort of "missile models" like mage hunter assassins or Imperatus are models that synnergize well with him. We in ret are also the only faction that has arcane void from before so we could potentially put 3 of the 5 inch bubbles on the table.
On the other hand, our battle mages will not be happy to see him on the other side.

I really like puppet master, I think it would be especially good on MHA who really need to hit casters with only MAT7. If Shadows gets changed to allow Mercs I will most likely include him.

Shadows does allow a merc solo and unit.
