==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
===Mk3 to Mk4===
It's a titan with a big gun. A big gun that shoots hard and, when the time for shooting is done, the Cannoneer is surprisingly effective in melee. It does everything you'd expect a ranged heavy to do with almost no frills.


Far Strike is a great animus though few casters in Skorne actually debase themselves by utilising ranged combat. [[Primus Jalaam]] and [[Void Seer Mordikaar]] are exceptions to this rule with [[Zaal1]] following closely behind as his old man stats will prevent him getting too close to the action. Also [[Cyclops Shaman]] can borrow her animus when needed

===Combos & Synergies===
* In the Skorne lore, female Titans are ''preferred'' for Cannoneer training, due to their "greater manual dexterity". This does not mean that ''all'' Cannoneers are female, merely that the majority of them are, and in turn the majority of males are Gladiators. There is no hard and fast rule dividing the roles of Titans based on sexing, however. (No Quarter, Issue # 09)
* [[Paingiver Beast Handlers]] - Fury management and make it an effective melee warbeast by buffing its strength. Note that, unlike most Skorne heavies, the Cannoneer does not *need* Beast Handlers to do good work.
* [[Titan Gladiator]] and [[The Terrorizer]] - Rush is an excellent threat range extender. Extend that 20" shooting threat to 22".
* [[Bronzeback Titan]] - More fury control.
* [[Cyclops Shaman]] - can use Far Strike for their rather deadly ranged attack
* [[Extoller Soulward]] - [[Eyeless Sight]] is excellent if you want to launch a ranged assassination (and Magical Weapon for hitting incorporeal targets doesn't hurt).
* ARM debuff. A lot of Skorne casters have [[Mortality]] or similar armor debuff that can really magnify her shot.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Skorne have a deep bench of shooting beasts. The shooting cyclops tend to be better at shooting for the point ; the Mammoth is a big investment but is somewhat better point per point for shooting, melee, and resilience
* Typical titan weaknesses: Low defense and low speed.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* Consider slamming with this instead of charging, enraged it's pow 17 with a pow 14 collateral, plus kd.
* Like almost all ranged heavies the Cannoneer actually does much more damage in melee than with its gun when taking down heavies (and normally against infantry). You get a couple of turns of shooting - but the primary work is done in melee.

A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.

  Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27)
Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range?
Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13)
Explanation: This post is correct.

  Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10)
Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot).
