** Aside from that, Mercenary warjacks can be taken in a plethora of Faction's themes via by putting it under the control of a Mercenary [['Jack Marshal]] or Mercenary [["Junior Warcaster"]] (see [[#Who can take this warjack?]]). However the "Faction Type" of the warjack doesn't change when you do it this way.

= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
A cheap little warjack that is one of the better hit fixers in the mercenary faction. It's also a fine assassination enabler. Not the scariest thing in melee, but at least it can boost. A bit of a luxury pick but often useful.

This guy's job is to assault something, knock it down, and let your other crummy MAT 6 heavies hit accurately.

=== Combos & Synergies ===
* [[Captain Bartolo Montador]] can give the Buccaneer two Net attacks in a single turn, potentially ruining your opponent's plans.
* [[Shae]] lets it charge for free
* The [[Freebooter]] gets bonus damage vs knocked down models, so loves a little Buccaneer pal.

=== Drawbacks and Downsides ===
* Don't expect it to get much killing done, its Gaff has had a bit of a POW boost since MkII but still nothing to write home about.
* Set Defense gives it a little bonus vs charges, but its low ARM means that it'll probably take a lot of damage regardless.
* It's the only [[Privateer]] warjack that can be knocked down.
* Knock-Down immunity ruins it's Gimmick and is pretty prevalent.
* You can get a [[Talon]] for the same price, which is more resilient and has a Stall spear.

=== Tricks and Tips ===
* They are excellent in the Kingmaker's theme force to knock down your caster for Feign Death on a stick.
* The same goes for [[Major Harrison Gibbs]] in the [[Llaelese Resistance]] - throw a net on him if you want to protect Gibbs from 1st turn shooting (after he activated, of course).

=Other=
===Trivia===
* Released in [[Forces of Warmachine: Pirates of the Broken Coast]] (2007)
* Resculpted in 2019.09
* In the lore it has the same chassis as the [[Swashbuckler]] & [[Scallywag]]. The resculpted kit is sold separately, but shares torso & legs with the other two.
