=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Gun Boar is a warbeast carrying boostable light artillery on its back and has adequate MAT. It will not disappoint with it's range-game, sometimes it can fire twice in a turn.


It’s gun is great and will reliably kill infantry and dent light targets but it will do very little to heavies even on a direct hit. It’s currently the only way for Farrow & Troll Warlocks (Vengeance of Dhunia) to get assess to counterblast; which can be useful on a big gun or powerful melee weapon to deter an assassination.
===Trivia===  
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Helga the Conquerer]] Field Marshal: Gang Fighter gives the gun boar an actual melee game
* [[Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq. III]] Batten Down the Hatches makes them as tough as some heavies and puts them really into play in gun duels.
* [[Midas]] Cheap bone tokens once they are dead - and expendable warbeasts used as roadblocks return to play easily with Pet Cemetary. Let the enemy kill them - and bring them back that much stronger.
* [[Sturm & Drang]] Under Sturm they win shooting duels with other lights forever thanks to the ARM buff and Shield Guard. Drang makes them at least vaguely competent in melee.
* [[Battle Boar]] because Primaling it then sending it into melee is a good plan.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Low MAT and not high enough POW to hurt heavies - while even with high explosive the small AoE means that they only hit one infantry model most of the time if they hit.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* You might prefer missing to hitting with them against infantry - that high explosive attack can then cover more than one enemy.

  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.
