Revenger

The primary function of the Revenger is to channel a warcaster’s divine power, which protects the faithful and consumes heretics in the cleansing fires of Menoth’s wrath. These warjacks are critical to the Lawgiver’s crusades, and their armament is designed to keep the Revenger in the fight long after other warjacks would fall. The sturdy repulsor shield is inlaid with powerful runes that rebuke enemies and hurl them away from the Revenger, where they can be cut down with the warjack’s heavy polearm.

Thoughts on Revenger

Revenger in a nutshell

It's the light arcnode for the Protectorate. Killing stuff is just extra gravy. Repel and long range help keep it's arc node useful and sets it up for enhanced charges.

Combos & Synergies

• Any warcaster that wants to arc spells
• Grand Scrutator Severius - Casting Vision on a Revenger ensures that its shield arm will survive a hit and push the enemy back. This can potentially space an enemy out of melee range to avoid extra primary/additional attacks, as well as give you space to move away in your next turn if desired and utilize the arc node.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• The character Revenger (Blessing of Vengeance) does a similar job but better. BoV is available in less themes, though.

Tricks & Tips

• Run the thing around for back strikes, whether from its own attacks or as an arc node.
• Its 2" reach with the halberd and the repulser shield make a decent "get in the way" 'jack.
• The 2" range of its halberd means its harder to scoot around as it may get a free strike if your opponent isn't paying attention. It is also great at sneaking a stab or two in between the other models in a fight.
• The shield gives it the same armor value as Menoth's heavies. Plus, the Repel special ability lets this light 'jack survive longer than it should. Basically if a heavy 'jack charges in and hits it, the attacker could be pushed back far enough that it is no longer in melee range, thereby wasting any excess focus or fury.
• You can move the Revenger past an enemy model to be a hair in the opponent models melee range and if you hit it with your shield and position right, it opens you to back strikes against it. The technique is called Biscuiting after SirBiscuit who "discovered" it.
