= 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.
==Warjack Rules==
{{Category:Warjack|Warjack}}


=== Combos & Synergies ===
==Errata==
* [[Captain Bartolo Montador]] can give the Buccaneer two Net attacks in a single turn, potentially ruining your opponent's plans.
No Errata specifically for this model.  
* [[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 ===
==Changes and Updates==
* They are excellent in the Kingmaker's theme force to knock down your caster for Feign Death on a stick.
===Mk3 to Mk4===
* 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).

This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. 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).
Answer: No.
