==={{PAGENAME}} in a Nutshell===
===Mk 4===
Grogspar's key ability is [[No Sleeping on the Job]] for living [[Privateer]] models, which means they can completely shrug off wounds when they pass tough checks. He also has Pitch, which is one of the few legal ways to throw a friendly model. It also allows any of the Privateer casters to not get knocked down in Pop & Drop assassinations, and protects the Privateer solos.
* Dropped to cost 3 from 5.
* Universal change to AOE.
* Hook melee increased from 0.5" to 1".
* Lost Pitch, gained Throw Power Attack on the Giant Hook.
* No Sleeping on the Job gained 2 inches (from 8 to 10), with universal loss of command range.  


===Combos and Synergies===
==Release Trivia==
<u>Casters</u>
* [[Gorten Grundback]] already provides no knockdown, but the threat of the dwarven warcaster being thrown off of Bosun's giant hook towards your army and then pulling them all towards him with his feat is both hilarious and frightening.
* [[Captain Phinneus Shae]] is the caster that cares for privateer infantry the most. [[Grogspar]] makes them die less quickly.
* All [[Privateer]] casters like to avoid knockdown.
 
<u>Non-casters</u>
* [[Press Gangers]] are innately tough and thus are perfect for him, they are also a nice tarpit unit, even more so with Bosun around.
* [[Sea Dog Pirates]] or [[The Devil's Shadow Mutineers]] like no knockdown as well.
* [[Bloody Bradigan]] is a tough sea dog solo that actually hits decently hard.
* [[Doc Killingsworth]] makes the no knockdown tough that much more annoying.
* Any other Privateer - they are all tough and like avoiding knockdown.
 
* [[The Talion Charter]] - gives him Sac Pawn, so he should be resonably save from shooting.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* He is a medium base model in a sea of small ones, making it even harder to protect him.
* CMD 8 is respectable but still not a very big buff bubble.
* Tougher than most [[Privateer]] solos but still squishy.
* little reason to run him outside of Talion Charter as he is overcoated if he is not leveraging no sleeping on the job.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* Bring him in behind some Press Gangers.

When this model is disabled, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, remove 1 damage point from this model; it is no longer disabled and becomes knocked down. While knocked down, this model loses Tough.

  Errata-Tough on 4-5-6 (2023-6-22)
Question: If a feat or ability says when a model "makes a Tough roll of 4,5, or 6... that model can remove 1 damage point," does that mean the model gets to remove 1 damage point from that ability PLUS another damage point from the Tough ability?
Answer: No, you only remove 1 damage point.
Explanation: You will only heal one point of damage due to [Madrak's] feat

Lore

The bosun of the Talion is a veteran sea-salt named Grogspar. Grogspar enforces discipline with the simple expedient of hurling worthless lubbers over the rail with his hook and is a crack shot with a harpoon launcher as well. Against the rare eventuality of a harpooned foe who lingers, Grogspar makes sure to attach a lit stick of explosives to every shot.

  • The harpoon gun is an AOE and carries Critical Devastation because Boson Grogspar ties sticks of dynamite to the end of the harpoons, just behind the tip.
