= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
==Battle Reports==
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Talon is a cheap light that is useful for tying up enemy warjacks or making them stationary. It does have a surprisingly high ARM with its shield. As it is MAT 8 on the charge, 1 focus is often enough to get a decent activation out of it. It's a sturdy piece for 6 points and the bane of fancier warjacks everywhere.


=== Combos & Synergies ===
==Videos==
* Warcasters that make their entire battlegroups tougher turn this little jack into a cheap spammable roadblock and contesting piece. That's [[Captain Bartolo Montador]] with Batten Down the Hatches and [[Magnus the Warlord]] giving them all Unyielding (and extra movement).
* The Talon makes a nice cheap combo with [[Rutger Shaw]], as its shield gives it good armor to play Shield Guard. It gets Flank in Irregulars as well.
* [[Captain Sam MacHorne & The Devil Dogs]] can use a cheap 'jack that can keep up with them and stationary targets so they can hit more easily. Sam's Crush order combined with its Shield let it hit hard while having a nice high ARM.
* Warjacks can shake off [[stationary]] for one focus, but If you have a model that causes Disruption (such as [[Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios ]] or [[Eiryss, Angel of Retribution]] ) you can prevent that.
* [[Asphyxious the Sanctified]] - With him, the Talon gains Dark Shroud and with a 2" melee range it spreads said debuff expertly.
** In Cryx, Gaspy can bring the Talon into the [[Scourge of the Broken Coast]] theme, where it gains [[Gang Fighter]] with which it hits way above its weight class.
** [[Karchev & Deathjack]] - Locked Horns and Onslaught make the Talon tougher and more manoeuvrable.
* [[Crosse1]] loves a cheap melee jack to send in and apply Shadow of a Giant. The Talon is as cheap as it gets and takes way more work to remove than is reasonable for a 6 point model, so wedging it into the enemy lines is extra rude.


=== Drawbacks and Downsides ===
==Lore==
* The Talon is best using its spear to stationary warjacks, but it loses that ability versus non-warjack targets, meaning it's much weaker against Hordes forces.
''The Talon is a black market favourite among mercenaries with enough gold and influence to acquire them. The few moments the Talon's stun lance can provide may be all that is needed to land the critical blow and turn the tide of battle.''
 
=== Tricks and Tips===
* The Talon works best with a friendly unit nearby that can activate after it Stalls an enemy warjack to take advantage of the stationary.
