=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell ===
The Castigator is a good "beat-stick" type of 'jack, having high armor, enough movement to get it where you need it, and a few surprises for your opponent up its armored sleeves. With all of this, and being only a few points more than a stock Crusader, the Castigator is a heck of a bargain.
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
* The combination of Ashen Veil & Combustion makes the Castigator a fantastic choice when confronting Hordes armies, given that you're more likely to be facing living models.
* The Castigator's fire immunity means that you can safely get the Castigator into the thick of the fight and still happily spray flaming death on your foes.
* Warcasters like Malekus and Feora work quite well with the Castigator as it is a fire-themed warjack.  Spells such as Ignite, and fire based feats, work really well with the Castigator's continuous fire fists.
* [[Durst]] with Bulwark up or [[Harbinger]] with Awe makes this DEF 14 against living
* Choir's Battle Hymn works on Combustion and Combustion can be boosted.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* Some players consider the P+S to be a bit "pillow-fisted". For a Protectorate jack that is, because it will hit at P+S 18 anyway due to the choir buff, which is in line with other melee jacks at a similar cost.
* As any model without a ranged attack, it is very liable to get shut down buy anti-melee control feats such as [[Rask]]'s.
* Being a SPD 5 warjack with melee-only weapons, it is susceptible to opponents that can slow it down or otherwise keep it out of melee. Be wary of things that can push it around or knock it down (like [[Arcane Tempest Gun Mages]] and their Thunderbolt shots).
 
=== Tips & Tricks ===
* Combustion is best used after your opponent just swamped you with infantry, assuming you can target something that survives the first hit.
