File:Mercenary Logo.jpg File:CG Logo.jpg

Template:FH2

Gorman was a student of alchemy held in very high regard by the Golden Crucible until he decided to defy his superiors and get involved in the fight to save Riversmet. In battle he rediscovered himself and found he really enjoyed living life on a knife edge. He abandoned the Crucible and began hiring himself out to anyone provided they were prepared to let him use his alchemical creations.

Gorman di Wulfe, Rogue Alchemist in a nutshell

Gorman's a grenade tosser with multiple debuffing grenades and a cloud when you need it. He helps you hit high DEF targets with Black Oil, damage constructs with Rust Bomb, and take out blast immune targets with his Acid Bomb. He's one of the Merc damage buffers alongside Ragman, Gabriel Throne, Asphyxious4 and Lady Aiyana & Master Holt. He is frequently seen in Mercenary and Crucible Guard armies.

Combos & Synergies

• Run him next to Major Harrison Gibbs, pop smoke and back up (Gorman is Llaelese and gets Reposition 3".).
• Blind battle engines for maximum effect.
• Blind disrupted warjacks to shut them down completely

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Doesn't deal with Hordes ARM-skew, and has almost nothing against Legion warbeasts, which are immune to blind, though he is immune to fire and corrosion so there's that.
• Everyone who played Mk2 knows him backwards.
• Stealth defends him from getting shot early, but he must get really close to use his grenades. So don't expect him to survive for long after he throws his first bomb.
• Blind is shakeable

Tricks & Tips

• He can't miss a target with rust or black oil from 4" away due to maximum scattering rules so if you start your activation 10" from your target model, that model is as good as stationary. On the flip side, don't let your opponent's Gorman get within 10" of your expensive, high Def models.
