''Doctor Alejandro Mosby is an alchemist obsessed with his work, foregoing all comforts in his latest efforts to unlock new discoveries. Mosby, who supports the Guard as head of its surgical division, has become obsessed with the effect of alchemical concoctions on the body, human or otherwise. Soldiers given to his care receive treatment with wary apprehension, as the man has a reputation as a dangerous lunatic. He views the battlefield as the ideal test bed for his latest creations, exposing his troops to all manner of combat stimulants without restriction. That a significant number of his mercenaries who survive the fighting subsequently expire does not deter the doctor in the slightest.

=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=  
== Changes and Updates ==
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
{{PAGENAME}} is a ranking officer - a model who takes control of a unit of Mercenaries and makes them Crucible Guard while he's alive. He also gives that unit a little more "oomph" with his drugs.


There are three different reasons you'll include a Ranking Officer:
===Mk3 to Mk4===


# You want to get a "friendly Faction" spell/buff from your CG caster onto a Mercenary unit.
==Release Trivia==
# You want to get a "friendly Faction" spell/buff from a Mercenary unit onto your own forces.
# You want to include a Mercenary unit anyway, and they will get better with the drugs.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Steelhead Halberdiers]] - cheap enough, Tough helps with delivery/jamming, +2 STR means they hit at POW13 while charging. Syvestro's Transmutation pushes their STR even higher and DEF to above average.
* [[Order of Illumination Resolutes]] - A great medium-base unit that gets a lot of benefits from Mosby with a laundry list of good synergies. [[Gearhart]] and [[Syvestro]] can really make them shine. They can bring up to 3 [[Morrowan Battle Priest]] attachments for some cheap, hard-hitting shield guards.
* [[Legion of Lost Souls]] - Expensive and don't benefit from all of Mosby's special rules, but truly ridiculous with [[Transmutation]] and other CG buffs. They can also bring [[Morrowan Battle Priest]] attachments, and their [[Blood Bound]] recursion ability can not only bring back Priests, but also Mosby himself. Keep in mind they cannot Shield Wall as long as he's alive.
* [[Horgenhold Forge Guard]] - Weapon Masters love STR buffs and with other CG (de)buffs they can hit extremely hard.
* [[Press Gangers]] - Advance Deployment is great, bonus STR and CG (de)buffs let them hit reasonably hard and overtake facilitates usage of Gang. Shanghai is situationally useful for RFP and recursion.
* [[Sea Dog Pirates]] - Another cheap unit that have some unusual synergies with Mosby and CG casters. Adding [[Lord Rockbottom]] pushes them into truly ridiculous territory for such a cheap unit.
* [[Greygore Boomhowler & Co.]] - Premiere jamming unit with no-KD 4+ tough.
* [[Herne & Jonne]] - Artillerist for all your AOE needs. They also of course love CG buffs and debuffs. A Scattershot buffed by Artillerist and e.g. Hot-Shot against a rusted target is going to hurt.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* With no defensive mechanism outside of Tough, Mosby is easy to kill and without him melee units lose a lot of their oomph.
* He has a relatively small CMD stat of 7 which limits the ability of the unit to spread out and requires Mosby to be close to the action where he does not want to be.
* The Mercenary unit can't take their normal CA, and some Merc units only get decent when they get that CA.
* The only order a Ranking Officer can issue is Press Forward (plus any on their own card, which Mosby has none). This means Merc units can't use specialized orders such as Shield Wall, at least not until Mosby dies.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* His mini-feat '''Revivifier''' applies to ALL friendly faction models within 7" of Mosby, not just his unit.
* '''Coagulum of Entropy''' only applies the [[Corrosion]] continuous effect, it does not directly damage enemies, and even then only after they hit a model. As such, it gets more utility by giving the unit Immunity:[[Corrosion]] to protect them from friendly corrosion (e.g., [[Vulcan]] sprays) or enemy corrosion attacks.

Question: If a feat or ability says when a model "makes a Tough roll of 4,5, or 6... that model can remove 1 damage point," does that mean the model gets to remove 1 damage point from that ability PLUS another damage point from the Tough ability?
