= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
A new model in Mk3, the Venator Dakar is a ranged support solo, making artillery faster and all Venators more accurate while carrying an effective solo-hunting gun of its own. As a rule of thumb the Dakar is almost certainly worth it with an artillery piece and a unit in play - and probably worth it with either two artillery pieces or a full unit.
 
In melee the Dakar is nothing more than a standard [[Venator]] grunt while costing almost 3 times more. So it really can’t afford to get bogged down and needs to use Veteran Leader and it’s gun/abilities while sitting back out of danger..
 
=== Combos & Synergies ===
Typically Skorne lacks ranged support but has some great debuff caster like [[Rasheth]] and [[Morghoul2]].
* [[Venator Catapult Crew]] 2" extra movement might not sound like much. But giving the catapult crew an effective 24" threat range can be pretty impressive for an unexpected turn 1 bombardment.
* [[Venator Flayer Cannon Crew]] +1 to hit and either +2 movement or the ability to reroll can be really useful.
* [[Venator Reivers]] and [[Venator Slingers]] both benefit from the Veteran Leader ability. A boost to hit can be really useful especially with the placement of Venators on the bell curve.
* [[Winds of Death]] is basically inviting you to use Dakars. They even buff other {{PAGENAME}}s when taken in multiples
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* On its own it isn't worth it (as should be obvious from having three buff abilities)
* If you're just running [[Venator Reivers]] get the unit attachment first. It does more - and even gives more accuracy than the Dakar.
* Combat Coordination affects only a single model, meaning it's probably only useful on an artillery piece.  It may also help this one important Combined Attack not disappoint.


=== Tricks & Tips===
==Solo Rules==
* Moving an artillery piece into range can be worth more than the Dakar himself shooting.

Model Advantages and Abilities

Dual Attack
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.

  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.

Lore

With exaltation a remote hope at best, the ruthless warriors of the Venator caste take to the field for survival and victory instead. Relentless and cunning, Venator dakars are stern leaders with exacting standards. Under the watchful eye of a dakar, other Venators march quickly and take precise aim, proving they are every bit as skilled in dealing death as the more respected warriors of the skorne.
