Model Advantages and Abilities

Slam Power Attack	This model can make slam power attacks. No errata for Slam Power Attack (Create)
Headbutt Power Attack	This model can make Headbutt power attacks. No errata for Headbutt Power Attack (Create)
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. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum   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. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum
Construct	This model is a construct, and is not a living model. No errata for Construct (Create)
Amphibious	This model treats shallow water as open terrain while advancing. While completely in shallow water, this model gains concealment and does not block line of sight. Concealment A model with concealment gains +2 DEF against ranged and arcane attack rolls. No benefit against Spray attacks. No errata for Concealment (Create) No errata for Amphibious (Create)
Defensive Strike	Once per turn, when an enemy model advances into and ends its movement or is placed in the melee range of a model with Defensive Strike, the model with Defensive Strike can immediately make one basic melee attack against it. No errata for Defensive Strike (Create)
Dodge	This model can advance up to two inches immediately after an enemy attack that missed it is resolved.   Errata-Dodge (2023-7-17) Question: So if a target model is missed by an AOE and dodges away, does it still take the blast damage roll if it is no longer in the range of the AOE weapon? Answer: Yes. Explanation: RNG doesn’t matter after the target has been checked to be within RNG. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum   Errata-AOE Miss (2023-7-17) Question: When an AOE misses, does it trigger "on miss" actions? Answer: AOEs that miss will trigger “on miss” triggers. Explanation:  Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum
Duelist	This model gains +2 DEF against melee attack rolls. No errata for Duelist (Create)

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

Lore

The Swashbuckler takes unique advantage of the adroitness of its underlying chassis, built expressly for the purpose of navigating a ship’s deck even when tossed by winds at sea. Engines East employed a cortex custom-built to augment capability in melee as well as superlative situational awareness. Privateers enjoy them in particular for their usefulness during boarding operations, either on the offense or defense. Firing a short-ranged cannon in one hand and wielding a cutlass in the other, the Swashbuckler is aptly named: it walks with a similar swagger to its human counterpart.
