Weapons

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. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum

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.

Thoughts on Trollkin Sluggers

Trollkin Sluggers in a nutshell

They're a ranged combat unit. They prioritize hitting power and volume of fire over accuracy.

By being added to the Vengeance of Dhunia theme they have a wider group of Warlocks they can play with than most in-faction units. Unfortunately, not many of these minion Warlocks polish ranged models.

Combos & Synergies

• The Hunters Grim love ranged units.
• Horgle, the Anvil finds that a full unit of them is the best ten points he can have on feat turn.
• Captain Gunnbjorn can keep ranged fire off them with his feat and his wall. Snipe is also useful for extending their threat range.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Overwatch affects all models in the unit, so to place one wall template, all models give up their ranged attacks.

Tricks & Tips

• Stay at your max range, don't expose yourself to more incoming fire than you need to.
• Overwatch can help protect a flag or charge lane from single wound infantry that might be otherwise difficult to hit with a straight up attack roll.
• Overwatch is a good option when you don't want to make 5 to 15 attacks, or just don't have targets available.
