=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}}in a nutshell===
The Gunnery Sergeant provides loads of value to ranged heavy lists, but especially to weapon crews. Capable of stripping Stealth from a single model, providing Artillerist, or even dropping a RNG 20 (!) ground pounder from across the board, this solo has tons of utility. That said, his most common use, we've found, is in his Ancillary Attack for weapon crews.
He oddly has slightly higher defence that your standard Troll and his armour is respectable under the Krielstone so he can take a bit of effort to remove. Although he struggles to hit anything with his long  gun he can always do something and make his presence known as it has such a long range and can be used even if your weapon crews are out of range/dead. For 3 points you could do a lot worse than the Gunnery Sergeant.
===Combos & Synergies===
* Weapon Crews obviously, for Ancillary Attack and Veteran Leader. Artillerist can be used on anything with an AOE attack though.
** Stacking [[Artillerist]] with Veteran Leader on a [[Thumper Crew]], [[Pummeler Crew]] or [[Farrow Razorback Crew]] (in VoD) makes for a very accurate gun platform.
* [[Gunnbjorn2]] - Gunny loves himself some weapon crews, the [[Farrow Razorback Crew]] especially. Together they can make a crew shoot trice.
* [[General Thunderstone Brug]] combine the above interaction with Deadly Precision.
* [[Splatter Boar]] or [[Dozer & Smigg]] - Artillerist and Luck Shot are two differently named abilities, so you can stack them even if they do functionally the same thing. + 4 RAT and two rerolls on deviation can be really nifty, if clock intensive.
* [[Grissel2]] or [[Thumper Crew]]s can knock down targets at range for him to reliably Ground Pound.
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Squishy.
* The Artillery Strike has serious problems hitting, between the -4 to hit and the inability to aim it. It also can't scatter and hope for blast damage. So unless your target is knocked down or you have to-hit buffs through the wazoo, all you'll achieve by firing it is burning your own clock.
* The Veteran Leader is FF only, so it won't affect Minion weapon crews (except in the Vengeance of Dhunia theme).
===Tricks & Tips===
* Spyglass has no range restriction, you just need LOS.
* Placing the Ground Pounder template:
** The LOS requirements for placing the template are a bit counterintuitive, and the explanation is longwinded. See the Rules Clarifications section for details.
** One of the useful tricks of this counterintuitive-ness is how you can "shoot around corners" because only ''part'' of the template needs to be in LOS, not the whole thing. (In fact it's impossible to have it entirely in LOS, because as soon as it overlaps a model the overlapped area is out of LOS.)
** A second useful trick is "shooting the back of a cloud/forest" where you place the near edge of the AOE as deep in the cloud/forest as possible, and the far edge overlapping models ''behind'' the cloud/forest.
*: This is particularly useful vs models that like to create cloud walls then Reposition out of them,  such as [[Trencher Infantry]].

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.
