Repenter

A favored warjack for delivering Menoth's wrath to the unfaithful, the Repenter is armed with a flamethrower capable of spewing blazing gouts of fire across the battlefield.

Thoughts on Repenter

Repenter in a nutshell

An affordable light jack with decent speed, and a short range melee attack. However the real reason for taking a Repenter (or two) is for its medium ranged flamethrower! The Repenter is often a priority target for your opponent, but you can use that to your advantage by using it as a diversion.

The Repenter also makes a great choice in a Journeyman Leagues 2nd week.

Combos & Synergies

• Malekus, The Burning Truth
  • Open Fire gives you the option of a second spray attack a turn.
  • Malekus' Feat: Raging Inferno gives you an additional die on fire damage rolls while preventing the Fire Continuous effect from expiring.
• Jack marshals (Reclaimer Gatekeeper and Exemplar Bastion Seneschal - mostly the former) because the Repenter really loves a to hit buff on its spray.
• Scrutator Potentate Severius - eye of Menoth is great on a spray and road to war let’s him threat deeper.
• Kreoss1 - knocking down your opponent makes getting a good spray easier.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's a jack of all trades and master of none.
• The spray needs to be boosted to hit infantry, while it doesn't do much to warjacks and beasts.

Tricks & Tips

• Don't feel bad about spraying your own models to position the spray. Especially if you have anything fire immune.
