Beat Back	Immediately after a basic atack with this weapon is resolved during the models Combat Action: The enemy model hit can be pushed 1 inch directly away from the attacking model. 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. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Infernal) - PP Community forum

LEGACY--------

Powerful gators with an insatiable hunger for human flesh, bull snappers are terrifying monsters that lurk beneath the still surface of swamplands held by the Blindwater Congregation. Surging up from the water, a bull snapper seizes its victim in jaws that close with the force of a colossal bear trap, ensuring its target cannot escape a bloody and painful demise.

Thoughts on Bull Snapper

Bull Snapper in a nutshell

The Bull Snapper is a cheap warbeast that acts as a solo hunting cruise missile. Its animus will make your caster less squishy.

Fury efficiency is the name of the game with the bull Snapper, free charges on specific targets, sustained attack and torpid all add up to a very easy to run beast, even for a non battlegroup caster. Torpid is a great rule if you run out of targets to attack, it makes sure you have a transfer target in your opponents turn and lets you push other beasts further.

Combos & Synergies

• Jaga-Jaga, the Death Charmer can give the Snapper a 13" charge against living targets and field marshal gives it an attack on death- you can also use it defensively, parking it by her to stack Battle Host and the Snapper's Spiny Growth animus to get her up to ARM 20.
• It's a good choice as your "free model" in The Blindwater Congregation theme force because it is the most expensive choice. Also its a warbeast whereas the other two options are solos.
• Any front line warlock (especially a Barnabas): +2 ARM for one Fury is an excellent trade for staying alive.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Awful defensive stats, but that's to be expected at that price bracket.
• vs an undead or construct based force they lose a lot of efficiency.

Tricks & Tips

• It's a great solo-hunter: it's fast, charges for free, it has the sustained attack, and then Torpid for fury efficiency.
