Pistol	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. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum

Thoughts on Pyg Tank

Pyg Tank in a nutshell

It's a mid-ranged artillery-style solo that's also not afraid to get into melee. With Bulldoze, pathfinder, and Repo 3 it's way more mobile than traditional artillery.

There is a character Pyg Tank, Ledfoot & Tredz, and in comparison this version has slightly worse stats and less versatility but you save 2 points.

Combos & Synergies

• Ledfoot & Tredz - Their Veteran Leaders. With Mark Target from the Kriel Company theme and Veteran Leader they becomme quite accurate shooters.
• Anything that knocks targets down so they can fire their Trash cannon at them. So, War Wagons, Thumper Crews, Grissel2, Grim1, Brun & Lug, any war beast that does a slam power attack, you name it.
• Rask can put Fury on them, since its not a STR buff it increases the damage on your Point Blank attacks.
• Jarl - Arcing Fire goes very well with Hunter from Weald Secrets. Pathfinder is also always appreciated.
• Ragnor - he doesn’t have the fury to run a huge Battlegroup but he likes durable solo targets he can dig in and feat on.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• MAT 5, RAT 6 is really subpar, so you are obligated to bring Ledfoot and Tredz for Veteran Leader and/or any other kind of hitfixing.
• For 2 points more you get Ledfoot and Tredz who have knockdown (not crit knockdown) on their melee weapon +1 Mat and +1Rat and an innate threat range extender in the form of ride along. Bring the Pyg tank only if you are short on points Or if you already have Leadfoot to lead the charge.
• Outside Kriel company they will eat up your 1 minion solo option and there are other, better choices for this
• They are not available as Requisition options in Kriel Company. If you want to run a Ledfoot tank battalion it will cost you 17 points total for 3 models and there is nothing you can do about except run Vengeance of Dhunia instead.
• Low Melee threat range if you want to use trash and the crit knockdown effect together.

Tricks & Tips

• Point Blank and Trash stack together nicely. Charge a target, first make an attack with the Treads to knock them down, then attack with the cannon to benefit from the Trash bonus.
• They do not generate souls or corpse tokes by the virtue of being constructs. It's easy enough to forget in a Troll army so make sure you remind your opponent if they want to collect some tokens off of your tanks.
