No errata for Special Attack (Create)   Errata-Thresher (2023-11-26) Question: Does an effect that triggers "when one or more friendly Faction models are destroyed" only trigger one time with Thresher? Answer: It will only trigger 1 time due to thresher. Explanation: (DASchretz - judge, not infernal) The special attack is always a single attack even if the rules contained within call for multiple attacks simply because the rules are only there to tell players how to execute the named attack; whether that be making multiple attack and damage rolls (thresher, ground pounder, etc) or simply applying something like Armor Piercing to the attack in exchange for losing your other initials. You execute all the special instructions in the attack’s description and then the 1 attack of that name is completed. That’s when you finally move into the trigger effects step of the timing chart.

Release Trivia

• Released in Warmachine: Legends (2008).
• 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

Originally known simply by the designation "09" by its master Sorscha, based on its allocation to her, the 'jack nevertheless gained her respect over the years proving to be a ferocious fighter. It still bears the designation 09 to this day despite having outlasted all those that came before it and many that came after it. Sorscha named the Juggernaut Beast after its timely arrival and mighty axe swings saved her life in the Llael campaign. After the invasion was complete Sorscha ordered Beast 09 to be fitted with parts from a wrecked Kodiak and be issued with an improved ice axe known as Ice Breaker. Beast 09 has picked up Sorscha's inherent ruthlessness and takes some enjoyment from each kill. Blows striking its armored hull only serve to drive it toward murder. Sorscha has found Beast 09 to be an invaluable tool, especially when outnumbered, as he always evens the odds.
