I'm really hoping she has some kind of way of increasing the damage of the Meat Thresher's guns. Two of them with a -2 armour debuff or something have the potential to remove a heavy a turn with their shooting alone. Without that buff, it's a little hard to really pressure opponents forward Edit: Just a quick random thought. Seeing as her motorbike is visibly modelled on the Meat Thresher, I'd give even odds that her mount attack has Knockdown. If so, Razor Boars become very interesting on her indeed, as she can threaten Knockdown Countercharges if you try to engage with other models in her army. I don't think I'd bet on a knockdown mount. Crit knockdown maybe but even there her personal assassination would be just a bit too easy and powerful

Crit knockdown maybe but even there her personal assassination would be just a bit too easy and powerful It would be more about playing set-up to guns rather than benefitting her own assassination. As spoiled she can already go in at Mat 12, she hits the average 'caster on anything but snake eyes. And as pop-and-drop options go, it's still probably only 13-14" of threat. As personal knockdown assassination runs go, she's still lagging behind her prime version even if her personal output is higher. That said, there's every chance she won't have it for a variety of reasons. But it does seem like a possibility. On their own, I don't think being cavalry is enough to endear Razor Boars to me. But if they enable knockdown Countercharges from Helga, then I think they merit at least some consideration.

For what it's worth Hungerford also spoiled that her spiked bat has Brain Damage in that facebook thread.

Boy I hate that rule on Warlocks. Looking at you, Arkadius.

Here I think it’s at least thematically fun. She hits people hard enough to cause brain damage, but gameplay wise it’s probably never being used much

If the game ever comes down to her versus Rasheth one on one, then she can relax because after her first hit she shouldn't ever take damage again. She can take her time killing him. In basically any other situation I can think of, if it's relevant then she's lost the game.

Taking a page from some kraye tech that is actually better here in some cases, you can trample and repo for extra movement in some cases and be able to pop an animus

Well, a Road Hog's animus replaces Repo, and they can run with Full Boar faster than they can Trample and Repo, and... I don't think you can Bulldoze on a Trample? But yeah, I've been enjoying having War Hogs Trample and Repo already with Boomie2, so nice to have that flat across the board.

Thornfall/Will Work for Food is also getting a new Efaarit combat solo, "The Wastelander." "Those who witness the Wastelander in combat are astounded as his charges headlong into the fiercest lines of fire, a blur of motion coming from his Mekitana as he deflects bullets, bombs, and blades back at his assailants."

I'm pretty happy to see more Efaarit, that's very cool. The usual proviso that he'd have to do something pretty special to stand out as a combat solo applies, unless he has some kind of support function, but then again Flugwug did manage to surprise me in that respect so I'm open to the possibility that he might do something that makes him particularly attractive with one Warlock or another.

looks like something straight out of Kenshi. Not really my cup of tea, but I'll reserve my judgement until I see the finished product.
