=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Vigilant is a light warjack with two shields, and is exactly as annoying to remove as that would indicate. Girded and Roadblock allows for some minimalist support for squishy solos like the [[Vassal of Menoth]]


Beyond that there isn't much to say about the  Vigilant it offers minimal anti ranged protection to support the army and it hits pretty averagely but that armour value is superb.

===Combos & Synergies===
== Changes and Updates ==
* Anything that gives it an ARM buff. Making it even harder for the enemy to kill.
===Release Trivia===
* [[Initiate Tristan Durant]] in particular runs it well - Fortify isn't that useful on the ranged jacks he prefers but it's excellent on one that's bodyguarding your caster, providing knockdown and push immunity.
* Placing one in [[Durst]]'s battle group and keeping it B2B with him makes both seriously hard to kill, as it goes to DEF 14 and ARM 25, and Durst can pass damage onto it if he's hit
* [[Thyra]] - If the table layout is not in your favour, bring a Vigilant as literal mobile cover to Gates of Death and hide behind!
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Low damage output.
* Anything with chain weapons or that can get into its back arc. (Or that can turn it round)
* The enemy can jam it in melee.
* Cover counts only for ranged and magical, but not for melee attack rolls
* Ultimate issue is his cost. While it provides interesting utility, he cost 1 point more than the  [[Devout]] and ultimately offers more narrow use as a defensive piece, offensively the [[Crusader]] is 2 point more
* there are a lot of things that can bypass his defensive tech
* pillow fisted with lower MAT than its competition in faction
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* Use it to tank the charge. Its main benefit is being hard to kill.
* One of the few jacks in faction with two open fists - always keep throws in mind. Just remember, you cannot target a model on a larger base.

The Vigilant’s twin fist-mounted shields make it an incredibly durable light warjack. The tremendous area covered by its towering shields provides nearly unassailable shelter from even the most devastating of enemy artillery fire. Warcasters favor the Vigilant for its great utility, not only is it like a small, mobile battlement but since it carries no weapons its hands are free to hurl enemy combatants about like ragdolls. The ‘jack’s unsophisticated weaponry and cortex make it easy and inexpensive to manufacture, ensuring its place among the Menite crusaders for years to come.
