=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=  
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
A beatstick heavy. Its schtick is bringing two weapons, both with base P+S 17 and 2" reach. It's the hardest hitting non-character trollblood heavy and, thanks to having chain maces weapons, it has the longest melee threat range of the dire trolls. By being Northkin it also gets a lot of passive buffs that a [[Dire Troll Mauler]] wouldn’t get outside of [[Borka2]].
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* Any strength or MAT buff like the [[Hearthgut Hooch Hauler]] and the [[Mauler]]'s animus
* [[Rush]] from the Axer gives it Pathfinder and a total threat range of 12 inches, and there are multiple ways to extend that even further, like the [[Northkin Elder]].
* [[Borka, Vengeance of the Rimeshaws]] really loves a troll heavy with a reach weapon to counter-charge.
* [[Madrak2]] this is mostly for the feat but relentless charge is also handy and Ornery may be worth casting on Rathrok
* [[Ragnor Skysplitter, the Runemaster]] Pathfinder and steady are great on a cold immune heavy beast as it means there are even fewer ways to stop it moving up the field. Digging it in also helps to deliver it and his feat is also very strong for negating damage.
* Another is [[Hoarluk Doomshaper, Dire Prophet]]. His feat also helps with survivability and attack rolls. His Scroll of the Call of Troqal means that a Mauler can cast Rage on the Brawler for free, then the Brawler can cast Ornery on itself for free after it is done attacking.
* It's the only Northkin non-character heavy, meaning that spells can be upkept for free on it in the [[Theme - Storm of the North|Storm of the North]] theme and given speed via the [[Krielstone Bearer]] with the Northkin attachment option.
* [[Stone Scribe Chronicler]] - It's the only non character heavy with a 2" melee range, meaning it can set up infantry to benefit from the Chronicler's Charge of the Trolls story very effectively.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* If you want a plain and simple beatstick, it has not much downsides to talk about.
* him and [[Rok]] are the only Northkin Warbeasts without pathfinder.
* Usually it loses out on the [[Dire_Troll_Mauler|Mauler]] getting into the lists due to its animus being less useful than Rage, or the [[Earthborn Dire Troll]] which is 2 points cheaper but also a great first-wave heavy and buff platform.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* The Brawler really is a pretty simple beatstick that has reach weapons. Simple, effective, and to the point. And not as fury intensive as a Mauler.
 
* Beat Back only triggers during your Combat Action so doesn't stack with the animus.

Beat Back		 Immediately after a basic atack with this weapon is resolved during the models Combat Action:
  1. The enemy model hit can be pushed 1 inch directly away from the attacking model.
  2. After the enemy model is pushed, the attacking model can advance up to 1 inch directly toward it.

You cannot move toward a model that is no longer on the table. When a movement occurs after a damage is resolved, and resolution of the damage destroys or removes a model from the table, then it is impossible to move toward that destroyed/removed model.

  Errata-Follow Up (2023-08-23)
Question: What is the timing of follow up, and do you still move if a slammed model is destroyed?
Answer: 1. Slam attack
2. Damage to target and collateral damage.
3. If slammed model is still on the table, Follow Up movement.
Explanation: The old ruling will still apply here.
The rationale is the “slam” and “Slammed” descriptions include the target taking a damage roll caused by the action. Therefore the damage roll is part and parcel with resolving the “slam”. For the it was that you can not follow up to a model that has been destroyed as there is no longer a model on the board to follow up to.
