=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
[[File: Stryker1.jpg|thumb|[[Stryker1]]]]
Grab an Ironclad, nail some extra armour to it, get a whole bunch of cool and useful special rules, and you get Ol' Rowdy. It is an excellent melee Warjack with a great level of focus efficiency thanks to Aggressive. Counter charge also gives your opponent all sorts of headaches in terms of model placement if they aren't careful, while Retaliatory Strike makes its dispatch  more difficult than it seems.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
[[File: Stryker2.jpg|thumb|[[Stryker2]]]]
* In terms of his focus efficiency, it remains an ever-useful jack for [[Stryker1]] and [[Stryker3]], as they tend to spend most of their FOCUS pool for upkeep spells.
* In terms of the bond, [[Lord Commander Stryker|Stryker2]] and [[Lord General Coleman Stryker|Stryker3]] get the most. At some point, they both want to get near the front line, and getting knocked down really spoils their day.
 
===[[Heavy Metal]]===
* Any focus-greedy caster will appreciate the presence of Ol'Rowdy.
* [[Captain Allison Jakes]] - She appreciate Rowdy's focus efficiency and he in turn appreciates Escort, Sprint and Positive Charge.
* [[Captain Allister Caine|Caine2]]'s assassination can be assisted with a well-placed Tremor.
* [[Captain Jeremiah Kraye|Kraye]] gives him some excellent mobility. Not only that, the boosted charge attack roll for free (even outside his feat) gives you great opportunities for critical knockdowns on your charge target.
** Remember that the boosted charge attack roll also applies to his Counter-Charge. This can really spoil an opponent's day if you score the critical knockdown (which the boost helps to make more likely).
* [[Captain Kara Sloan|Sloan]] usually troubles against melee threats with her gunline and few focus.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
[[File: Stryker3.jpg|thumb|[[Stryker3]]]]
 
* 6 pts more expensive than an Ironclad - it is often a tipping point, which stops it being an auto-include.
* The bond is more or less a trap - none of the Strykers like blast damage and AoEs that apply continuous effects.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* A boosted Tremor hit with MAT 8 knocks down even DEF 18 models on average.
* Remember that if you score a critical knockdown with your Retaliatory Strike, the enemy model won't be able to do anything else (unless it is Steady)
* If you charge a model with [[Admonition]] (or similar) and it moves away, you can use Counter Charge to re-engage them ''and'' get a free attack.
* Don't forget, if a model runs into melee with you, you cannot trigger Countercharge. If you want to use Countercharge, and the jamming model hits you, your best bet is to trigger Retaliatory Strike, and go for a critical hit, which ceases the enemy model to be engaged.
* His bond does not stop either model getting pushed or placed. Be extra careful against lists with placement tricks (Haley2, Rahn, Thexus, etc.), who can place/push/drag Rowdy outside B2B, then slam it right through Stryker.

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.

Bond

If Ol' Rowdy begins the game in Nemo's battlegroup, then it is bonded to Nemo. Ol' Rowdy is not considered to be bonded while under your opponent's control. While Ol' Rowdy is bonded to Nemo and in their control range, it gains the ability to reroll missed ranged attack rolls. Attack rolls can be rerolled only once as a result of this bond. .


No errata for Bond (Create)


Chain Reaction
When this model hits an enemy model with a melee or ranged attack during its activation, after the attack is resolved this model gains a cumulative +1 to its damage rolls on subsequent attacks that activation.

No errata for Chain Reaction (Create)



Weapons

Pistol
Pistol

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.
