Thoughts on Kell Bailoch

Kell Bailoch in a Nutshell

Kell Bailoch is one of the best ranged solos in the game. His preference is to sit in a forest 10-14" back from the middle of the board and shoot twice at RAT 10. If he gets to do this, he can take out a warjack's cortex in 2 turns, kill a Cavalry or multi-wound infantry model, pop two basic infantry or some combination of the two. He also negates Tough and counters high ARM infantry. At worst, he puts 6 damage on a colossal or a battle engine, which adds up. His gun is also magical, which gets around a lot of problems.

Combos & Synergies

He needs no support, except perhaps stealth removal. Reinholdt and the Seige Crawler can assist.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Anything that shuts down shooting shuts him down.
• Does not himself ignore stealth.
• Ranged solos are a dime a dozen in mercs and minions.

Tricks & Tips

• Most solos are stopped by a double tap.
• With two shots you can take out an arc node - shoot columns 3 and 4 and almost any arc node will stop being an arc node.
• Multi-wound models with Tough having 3 or less health boxes left are your sweetest targets for Deadly Shots.
• Hellmouths are especially vulnerable to Bailoch's predations, since he can shoot them outside their command area. A unit of Widowmaker Scouts and/or the Marksman can make short work on a (near) fully healthy Maw too.
