| * Beast is one of the few remaining warjacks that doesn't have a plastic/resin (re)sculpt.
| |
| * When he was spoiled in mk1, the image filename was "Mammoth.jpg". If you translate the runes on his cowl, it spells Mammoth. Obviously the name "Beast-09" was a last minute change.

| =Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
| |
| ==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
| |
| The Marauder is '''cheap''', and hits hard, especially against colossi and battle engines, so the lack of open fists doesn't hurts so much in this case. It has a decent MAT, a solid ARM and its combo smite is really powerful and can slam its target away, even if without the 3" movement. Its only weak point is its speed, but Khador has a lot of ways to fix this.
| |
|
| |
| Marauder is among the least complex warjacks in the faction. Beside the typical Khadorian jack stat-line, it has two, average P+S attacks. What makes it great, is its Combo Smite, which will send smaller, or equal-based targets flying, and deals massive damage on huge based models.
| |
|
| |
| Combo Smite has some extreme damage potential. An effective P+S 20 it rivals the Macropummeler of the [[Inverter]], with the added effect of slamming the target away. With boosted damage rolls (and with a well-placed wall, or other model to slam upon), it can badly maul heavies, and severely threaten even warcasters (and battle-engine warcasters particularly).
| |
|
| |
| ===Combos & Synergies===
| |
| The Marauder hunts mainly heavies, and with its above-average MAT it often spares the need to boost the attack roll. Usually, the Power-up focus is all that it needs for a good combo-smite. Apart of that, casters, who can speed it up, or give it free charge, will get even more mileage out of it.
| |
| * [[Vladimir2]] has Assail which makes it charge both for free and farther. It also adds 2" to the slam from combo smite, even though it is not a slam power attack.
| |
| * Casters with [[Superiority]] - Irusk1 or Strakhov.
| |
| * Casters with [[Fury]] like [[Kozlov]], can boost the Marauders damage output to even higher levels, with no need to combo strike as often, but when you do..... ouch!
| |
| * [[Orsus_Zoktavir,_The_Butcher_of_Khardov|Butcher 1]] - Full Throttle guarantees hits even against elusive targets, while an additional die on the damage rolls can mean death sentence for nearly anything.
| |
| * "Jack Casters" - [[Karchev]] and [[Kommander_Harkevich,_the_Iron_Wolf|Harkevich]], both offer quite a lot for melee capable, tough jacks, especially SPD buff.
| |
| * Marshalling - it cannot use the drive of the Man-o-War Konvnik, but the other marshal bonuses are pretty nice. A [[Greylord Forge Seer]] ensures that not even [[Wraith Engine]]s are safe from the Marauder's predation.
| |
| * [[Battle Mechaniks]] - One of your weapons crippled? Restore the system with a repair, and keep on combo-smiting!
| |
|
| |
| ===Drawbacks & Downsides===
| |
| * Anything that restricts special attacks, will severely decrease its offensive capability.
| |
| * It lacks Follow-up, so if you slam away the target, you'll probably need other units to finish the job, if the target is not dead.
| |
| * One of the few Khadorian, non-Berserker jacks that lacks open fist. Occasionally you'll wish you had one.
| |
|
| |
| ===Tricks & Tips===
| |
| * Combo smite is not a ''Power Attack Slam'', it just ''causes'' a model to ''be'' slammed. Thus you can slam your own figures to knock down enemy targets.
| |
| * Because Combo smite is not a ''Power Attack Slam'', you don't have to charge directly at your opponent's model per Slam rules: you can position your Marauder and align the slam direction for optimal effect.
| |
| * Look for walls, or other enemy models to slam the target for the extra damage die.
| |
| * Do your maths before combo-smiting a huge-based model. Since the bonus from Siege Weapon applies to each attack, you're often better to make more weaker attacks than 1 slightly more powerful one.
| |
| ** The critical ARM value is 23. Beyond that, the +4 from the combo smite is worth more than the +3.5 you get from an average d6.
