Captain Rehera, Terror of the Wailing Sea, is the new merch warcaster who is also a Cryx partisan, coming into the new privateer CID. Does anyone have her rules? Her description of a hit and run caster sounds a lot like Sturgis. How does she measure up to Sturgis or Asphyxious 1?
Also, it looks like the Devils Shadow Mutineers are getting a buff. Sounds like they are getting tough and a weapon length increase on Mar's Saber. |

I am real interested in her, and how she changes through the CID. She looks like she could be interesting piloting a Satyxis list.

I like her, but I have no doubt people will be crying "but Black Industries!" and get Windstorm swapped for Deflection.

12" windstorm is actually super unimpressive mind you, apart from some help at dealing with AOEs trying to drift on you, it wont actually effect the range of many weapons

Thanks for the link Juckto. After reading her over, I think she is pretty solid. I am surprised she got black spot as that was Skarre 2's special spell (does anyone else have it?). I really want to see a dark host army under her feat. Bane warriors with critical decapitation and manifest destiny make me want to charge some warjacks. Windstorm seems good but situational, though I face a lot of AOEs regularly, it sounds really good to me. Escort with Cryx jacks is always good.
What are we thinking for builds? Assassin focus with her acrobatics and parry? Take a pack of stalkers with her and have stupid threat ranges with nothing being able to stop you from reaching your destination?

Black spot has been on hexeris2 since he was released in mk2. Manifest destiny does not buff banes, it only buffs battlegroup models |

I want to run a Seether pack, but then again I always want to run a Seether pack no matter the caster so you should probably ignore me. Maybe Slaughter Fleet, for the Blood Bound?

So off questions but...
Black spot generates an attack off of any attack not generated by black spot correct?
If the above is correct then take this torrenting attack chain into medium base or infantry lists.
The attack pattern would look something like this.
Harpoon (inittial)
-drag-
Melee (kills)
Harpoon (b.s.)
-drag-
Melee (kills)
Harpoon (b.s.)
-drag-
Melee (kills)
It would repeat untill you miss or you are out of enemy models within 8 inches of the reaper. That means black industries now could drop into unfantey heavy lists.
Like defenders of ios, wolves of whinter, winterguard, legion of dawn, tharn (medium spam), trolls (multiple lists), malock gators.
I need to try this.
Manifest destiny helps make it stable.

I noticed Blood-Bound triggers off any attack, including Overlord sprays and WSC Dark Fire.
There could be a BI build that works for her.

Correct, the black spot / reaper infinite shot combo is a thing, until it misses.
Thanks for the clarifications Challenger, I should read those closer. While that does limit manifest destiny a bit, it definitely has a lot of appeal in black industries like people have been pointing out.

Sorry but I have bad news for you. Her feat is just for living warrior.  |

I think i see her as a Slaughter Fleet Caster. Her feat will be buffing a lot of value models such as bloodgorgers and even getting out bloodbound for ceph overlords
Then Manifest Destiny stacked on top of gang fighter is where things start to get really silly in terms of output. Like just taking 4 slayers in slaughter fleet so with gang fighter and MD they get to make mat 9 ps18 signs and portents attacks is incredible for 10pts. Very efficient. Escorted, manifest destiny stalkers are likewise very intimidating.
I think SFR also offers her the FOC support she needs in a misery cage and blood priestess
Black Spot and Smog Belchers is pretty fun too
