=Thoughts on the {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Reliant is Cygnar's cheapest cheapest electrical and/or combined arms (ranged and melee) heavy. It's main selling point beyond cost and flexibility is the focus efficiency when activated near a friendly [[Storm Knight]] model: combined with Power Up the Reliant can boost both the attack and the damage roll on its gun without putting further burden on its controlling caster (or deliver a fully boosted charge attack).
Its gun is useful in area-control against infantry, as even heavily armoured single box models will think twice entering into a POW 10 hazard (POW12 if a [[Firefly]] is within 5"). Its Pulse Hammer also has a respectable strength, and with the inherited high MAT of the Ironclad chassis, it usually has no trouble to hit the targets.
 
This package is either precisely what you're looking for, or gets overlooked in favour of another jack in the faction. This jack is it’s name sake it’s reliable but it won’t always fit your battle plan. In general you get what you pay for.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Storm Division]] - The Reliant is an electrical jack and combos with other electrical sources like [[Nemo3]], the [[Stormguard]], and the [[Firefly]]. Since all of your stuff is immune to electricity, you can shoot low-DEF ones into the back to create deterrent templates wherever you want. Also, you'll find the Accumulator enabling models readily available here.
* Along with Cyclones, [[Stormsmith Grenadiers]], and [[Stormwall]]s, they can create templates to be dragged into by [[Haley2]]'s Telekinesis, [[Commander Dalin Sturgis|Sturgis]]' feat, or simply get pushed into by the [[Arcane Tempest Gun Mages|ATGM]]'s Thunderbolt round, or slammed by the [[Hurricane]]'s main guns.
* With its Accumulator it can form a decent firebase with a marshalling [[Stormblade Captain]]. It can lob shots up to 17" away then fall back up to 5" from the target while providing the Iron Sentinel bonus to the Captain. You may combine the ''Strike True'' command and the focus boost to engage a wide variety of targets, or use ''Take Aim'' to severely pound a heavy target. It's no slouch in melee either, and Repo 5 gives you a breathing space once you killed a nearby target.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Like many jacks in the faction it has a lot of parts and if you don't plan to use them all there are better choices.
** [[Ironclad|Ironclads]] are pure melee jacks who hit harder, are cheaper and have Tremor attack.
** [[Cyclone|Cyclones]] are almost pure ranged jacks with better board conntrol and shooting
* If you aren't running an electrical theme or taking [[Storm Knight]] models for the accumulator it's frequently worth upgrading at the cost of a point or two
** [[Defender|Defenders]] for a single extra point have a much longer ranged and harder hitting gun
** [[Avenger|Avengers]] have a big AoE with knockdown and a blade that stalls other jacks while hitting harder but are two points more expensive.
* Storm Knight models are strongly advised to ease the focus burden via Acummulator - but they are only available in a single theme. Your other option is to take it either with [[Maddox]], [[Acosta]] or [[Dreyfus_%26_Flubbin,_Storm_Patrol|Dreyfus2]]
** Be careful on relying on Storm Lances or Laddermore to benefit from Accumulator. They can quickly get away from the Reliant.


===Tricks & Tips===

* Blocking infantry is useful.

* Like the [[Defender]] it does far more damage in melee than at range. Use accordingly.

Dual Attack
Dual Attack

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.
Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too.

A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.

  Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17)
Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray?
Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee.
Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model.

Lore

By taking the impressive bulk and chassis of the Ironclad and adding powerful voltaic weaponry, the Stormclad and Reliant were born. The Stormclad is equipped with an accumulator that draws on the galvanic energies of nearby Stormblades to augment its impressive storm-powered generator blade. The Reliant is built for versatility, whether enveloping the enemy with crackling electrical fields from a distance using its Stormbringer or driving the opposition to its knees with pulse hammer strikes.
