As with most Trollkin units, the {{PAGENAME}} can take up to 3 [[Trollkin Sorcerer]]s. The Sorcerer's info has been omitted for brevity. With the CA the Trollkin Sorcerer will get clear! And quick work But will be unable to benefit from any of these effects as he has no gun.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
[[File:ScattergunnerUA.jpg|thumb|Command Attachment]]
Scattergunners are one of the Trollbloods shooty units - coming with decently powerful medium sprays to take chunks out of enemy infantry swarms. Normally used in a minimum unit for utility or maximum with the UA for sheer effectiveness, scattergunners have a number of useful places they can fit. They are most often used to clear a charge lane for engaged melee models.
===Thoughts on adding the CA===
Quick Work and Clear are very different, yet complimentary abilities, which allow the unit to serve as a second line, advancing behind a melee unit. Advancing Scattergunners with Clear shoot through a jammed front line damaging only the enemy, freeing the front line for a charge. Quick Work provides the unit with the possibility of achieving a spray attack after a successful charge, providing that they succeed in killing their target and aren't in melee after the charge attack resolves. Quick Work becomes useful when fighting support units, or other second wave infantry. Guns Blazing is just nice to finish anything still standing after your first barrage.
===Combos & Synergies===
* Quick Work can give them some really interesting spray angles, but only if they can hit in melee. Look for anything that lowers the defense or armor of an enemy model, or buffs their MAT, RAT, POW, or STR.
* [[Grim2]] - they may not get snipe from his feat but mortality makes quick work easier to use and mirage is a great threat extender.
* [[Helga1]] - distraction helps them hit, dash helps them engage, Defenders Ward can be better used elsewhere but a 14/18 stat line under the stone is quite a screen & to top it all off her feat increases the output of the Scattergunners by knocking people over and causing collateral damage, which is great for quick work.
'''Non caster combos'''
* Any skirmish screen you can throw in front of them, and they can spray through to free up from melee.
** [[Northkin Raiders]] or [[Sons of Bragg]]  in Kriel Company
** [[Trollkin Champions]] and Farrow units in Vengeance of Dhunia
* [[Fell Caller Hero]] may be taken in Kriel Company to boost MAT and RAT (Mark Target), and [[Stone Scribe Chronicler]] may be taken in Vengeance of Dhunia to buff MAT and POW.
* [[Pyg Lookouts]] may be taken in either theme for Mark Target to increase RAT.
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* They rely on the concept of support stacking in Trollbloods, meaning they do very little on their own to either Defense or Armor skew, and require support models to function well.
* Guns blazing into a high number of targets eats up a lot of time if you are on a clock.
* The Officer is a lynchpin. Losing the officer removes much of the unit's functionality.
===Tricks & Tips===
* If you have the UA (or sometimes if you don't) spray into the back of your own guys to clear enemies off them.
* They don't do that much damage. You frequently want to shoot through trolls.
* If you run multiple units, spread them out and interlace their formation.

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.

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.
