=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
It's a combined-arms warbeast, with decent melee weapons plus a gun which it can fire whether it's in melee or not. Shooting Gallery means it really loves getting stuck in melee and peppering enemies at close range.
It will of course never reach the raw output of a [[Dire Troll Mauler]] in melee. On the other hand, because Dual Attack gives it pseudo-additional initial attacks, it can trade well vs low-ARM heavies whereas the Mauler would be overkill in that trade.
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Captain Gunnbjorn]] with Guided Fire makes it pretty accurate. Kill Shot also works well with dual attack.
* The [[Hunters Grim]] give it Snipe and a to-hit buff for a turn - exactly what it needs.
* [[Horgle, the Anvil]]'s feat can fully boost all the gun's shots
* [[Borka Kegslayer & Keg Carrier]] provide knocked down targets for its gun via the mosh pit, and give it free power attacks with boosted damage and extra distance on feat
* [[Jarl]] dual attack does not affect the order in which you make ranged and melee attacks so if you destroy your charge target in 1 hit you can often use swift hunter with shooting gallery to move towards another target and get your other melee attack.
* [[Pyg Lookouts]] or the [[Kriel Company]] theme force - Mark target gives it a much needed accuracy buff to let it hit more targets without boosting Rat9 at close range shouldn’t be sniffed at.
* [[Troll Basher]] can also debuff targets' defense though this can be more difficult to use
* [[Calandra Truthsayer, Oracle of the Glimmerwood]] provides enough dice fixing to let it hit without boosting, and befuddle combos nicely with bulldoze to bring enemies way out of position.
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* For pure shooting, the [[Dire Troll Bomber]] arguably does it better: it has a longer threat range, hits harder, and has medium AOEs. On the other hand the Bomber doesn't have Dual Attack, Shooting Gallery, and the Bomber costs more.
* For a bulldozy shooter [[Dozer & Smigg]] are arguably better with their Dual Attack, 4" AoE, and better base accuracy. Of course you get what you pay for.
* With its low RAT you need to boost to hit at range vs most of your preferred targets.
* Rolling D3 for any gun means it can fail to get the volume of shots when you need it most.
: On the other hand, Warbeasts with variable ROF have an advantage over Warjacks with variable ROF as you can plan your resources even if you roll a low ROF.
===Tricks & Tips===
* You don't need to shoot the models you're in melee with - feel free to charge the front line then shoot the back line.
* If the enemy is a long way away, use Trample to give yourself +3" range on the gun.
* Power Attack Throw a target into its friends, then shoot everything that gets knocked down.
* Put a Whelp next to a Blitzer in Kriel Company and suddenly he is RAT 9 vs models within 5".

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.
