=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Bloodrunner Master Tormentor is a roving circular area of devastation for single wound infantry. It does little for anything else - but as far as single wound non-construct infantry are concerned it's sheer murder. The strong charging threat range combined with the ability to sprint back to safety and the way it buffs an already good unit make it a pretty popular choice of solo.
 
It will never crack enough armour to send vs multi wound models, but what it does it does very well if you play them as a pair they buff each other with veteran leader. If you Ambush your bloodrunners they are likely too out of position to get veteran leader, but there is very little difference between MAT 9 (with gang) and MAT 10.
 
The Master Tormentor is now a veteran leader for all paingivers, a group which doesn't just include [[Paingiver Bloodrunners]] but [[Paingiver Beast Handlers]] and both [[Morghoul]] and [[Xekaar]]
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
* [[Paingiver Bloodrunners]] - they get Veteran Leader to help finish what it leaves alive.
* [[Lord Assassin Morghoul]] gives the Bloodrunner Master Tormentor parry and Morghoul gains from the Veteran Leader benefit to land that mortality or assassination.
* [[Beast Master Xekaar]] gets the Veteran Leader benefit to help with his spell slinging.
* [[Supreme Archdomina Makeda]] - dash with its free strike immunity can get the BRMT some very interesting places, and her ability to keep shooting away plus Stealth means delivering the Master Tormentor should be relatively easy.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* The Master Tormentor doesn't hit hard. It's going to masssacre single wound infantry, and if it makes a solo the charge target it's going to kill any but the toughest solo - but it's almost useless against warjacks and warbeasts. (Spike Damage is still decent. Even if you fail, it's only 4 points.)
* it has fairly average armour so it’s 5 hp means very little. On average dice a unboosted Pow10 will deal four damage


=== Tricks & Tips===
==Changes and Updates==
* Sprint (or run) behind solid objects or deep into the woods - and use Apparition to gain line of sight when you activate so you can charge

Ambush
In most scenarios, this model/unit does not have to be deployed at the start of the game. Instead, it can be placed at the end of any of your Control Phases after the first round.
  • Choose any table edge except the back of your opponent's deployment zone.
  • Place the models/units completely within 3 inches of the chosen table edge.
  • Place so that every model in the unit is within 3 inches of every other model in the unit.
  • Ambushing models/units must forfeit either their Normal Movement or Combat Action during the turn they are put into play.

No errata for Special Attack (Create)
  Errata-Thresher (2023-11-26)
Question: Does an effect that triggers "when one or more friendly Faction models are destroyed" only trigger one time with Thresher?
Answer: It will only trigger 1 time due to thresher.
Explanation: (DASchretz - judge, not infernal) The special attack is always a single attack even if the rules contained within call for multiple attacks simply because the rules are only there to tell players how to execute the named attack; whether that be making multiple attack and damage rolls (thresher, ground pounder, etc) or simply applying something like Armor Piercing to the attack in exchange for losing your other initials. You execute all the special instructions in the attack’s description and then the 1 attack of that name is completed. That’s when you finally move into the trigger effects step of the timing chart.

The razor lash with its serrated bone blades is the signature weapon of a master tormentor and requires considerable skill to employ. Bloodrunner Master Tormentor comes in a blister. A player may field two Bloodrunner Master Tormentors for each warlock in his Skorne horde.
