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

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
Damage Type-Magical	This weapon causes magical damage. No errata for Damage Type-Magical (Create)
Deathly Domination	When this weapon boxes a living or undead non-Leader enemy warrior model, you can immediately take control of the enemy model and make a full advance with it followed by a basic melee attack, then the boxed model is destroyed and removed from play. Rules as written: Vampiric and Overtake will not trigger off of a model destroyed by Deathly Domination. However it is internal’s intent that they do. Wording may change to match intent.

Lore

House Vyre was once noted for its sinister weapons of war, and the Siren harkens back to those morally dubious inventions. Capable of mystically seizing control of those it slays to turn them against their former allies, the Siren makes use of terrifying technology. Only the dire nature of the Retribution’s cause justifies its use, employed only against those who would harm the gods. For Iosans who lived through the War of the Houses, the Siren is a walking reminder of the terrible sins of House Vyre and of the evils unleashed under the rule of the mad Narcissar Ghyrrshyld. Following the end of the war, the Siren was one of several House Vyre weapons that was considered best locked away. Its arsenal relies upon dark principles most Iosan arcanists would never dare to study or harness.

From PP Site: January 2, 2018

[[1]] When the skorne breached Ios’ borders, however, the Retribution found itself in desperate need of new weapons to turn the tide of battle. Members of House Vyre revealed that several original Sirens remained in their vaults and that senior arcanists possessed the knowledge to manufacture more.

The Siren’s main armament is its death driver cannon which emits a lethal force shock, emitting a strangely harmonic tone when unleashed. This weapon draws on the black occult experiments of House Vyre and is able to briefly animate and control of the bodies of those killed by it. For a short time these corpses lash out violently at any within reach before collapsing into twitching heaps. Use of this weapon is sanctioned so long as it is employed solely against those who oppose the Retribution and threaten the Divine Court. Still, there are many in the ranks who are deeply unsettled to hear the whine of its unnatural weaponry presaging the sight of one last spasm of violence from those it slays.
