Changes and Updates

Release Trivia

• Released in Warmachine: Legends (2008).
• Beast is one of the few remaining warjacks that doesn't have a plastic/resin (re)sculpt.
• When he was spoiled in mk1, the image filename was "Mammoth.jpg". If you translate the runes on his cowl, it spells Mammoth. Obviously the name "Beast-09" was a last minute change.

Lore

Khadoran colossals are mountains of steel bristling with some of the most powerful weapons ever deployed in the Iron Kingdoms. The Victor’s massive siege mortar and its sophisticated loading system bring unmatched versatility to the battlefield, while its autocannons neutralize airborn threats with pinpoint accuracy.

Thoughts on Victor

Victor in a nutshell

The Victor differentiates itself from the Conquest by having a longer range main gun with three ammo types that cover a wider variety of match-ups. Need to slow a non pathfinder enemy down? You have a 5" AOE for that. Need To get rid of stealth and lower some defense? Need to set the world on fire? Victor can do this for you, but his very low RAT makes it so you need to rely on the 5" AOE and good deviation rolls to get your shots with the main gun on target. Victors secondary guns are the polar opposite; RNG 12 is average range but d3 shots in each arc means you have several attempts at hitting, and Flak Fire means you are actually able to hit the high defense that most flying models have if they are in range.

Big and shooty. Take Victor if you want a Colossal for his different ammo types and main gun. Reach for the Conquest if you want Creeping Barrage's POW 10 templates to protect your army and the potential crit devastation.

Combos & Synergies

• Greylord Adjunct - Don't let pesky Incorporeal or stealthy models make your Victor run for its points.
• Winter Guard Artillery Captain: Can make the Victors Rat 4 main gun less inaccurate by giving in +2 to hit but more importantly re-rolls on the direction and distance deviated.
• Harkevich: Two siege mortar shots a round with broadside is amusing, and Mobility gives the Victor much needed movement. Sadly keep in mind that Fieldmarshal: Reposition does not work on Colossals.
• Strakhov1: Sentry gets you a second shot with the siege mortar every round and Victor is a good way to proc Overrun, but he can not make use of it himself. When it comes time to wade into melee Strakhov's Feat and Superiority makes Victor surprisingly fast and fixes MAT 6.
• Vlad 1: Signs & Portents boosts the accuracy for "free" (you were going to cast it anyway...) and his feat gives Victor a nice speed boost. If you really need something dead, cast Boundless Charge on Victor on the feat turn for a sudden charge of 13" (+2" reach).
• Vlad 3: Victor is a great candidate for both Hand of Fate and Infernal Machine, the former for hitting more accurately and the latter for hitting first.
• Vlad 2: Hand of Fate is awesome on Victor, Assail is somewhat weaker.
• Irusk 2: Victor benefits from Fire for Effect because all the damage under the template is boosted. You'll get no mileage out of Energizer, sadly, but that can be a good thing because Irusk is focus strapped as is.
• Malakov2 - You can run Victor 12" turn one with Escort and then Open Fire to get some good deviations with a total threat range of 32".

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Like most Colossals the Victor is big and lumbering. People in MK3 are used to heavy armor cracking and will have an idea of how to take down a colossal with their lists.

Tricks & Tips

• Being conservative with Victor and getting another round of shooting before committing him can be a wise choice when your opponent still has the tools to remove him. Don't hesitate to take an Aiming Bonus if you want to hit something directly.
• Flak Fire makes it mince Archons, Incindiary lets it mince infantry, both single-wound and multi-wound. It's a great anti-meta tool.
