=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Any enemy with an upkeep that comes within 17" of this guy is probably going to have the upkeep shot off it. It can also put Mage Static where needed, which is great in certain matchups. If neither of those things are useful, it can have a fully boosted POW 12 shot on a fairly durable statline for its points cost.
===Combos & Synergies===
* The "Super Juniors" ([[Nemo4]] and [[Asphyxious4]]) are both casters that can help you power the Locus up.
* [[Skarlock Thrall]]s and the [[Mechanithrall]] CA also stack the Frustrum but are only available in [[Strange Bedfellows]]
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* None of the numbers in its stat line or weapon are prime or add up to prime numbers this is odd for the faction.
* Anti spell tech is great in some match ups, almost useless in others.
===Tricks & Tips===
* You can shoot your own models to dispel upkeeps on them. Just don't boost damage.

Model Advantages and Abilities

Pathfinder
Pathfinder
This model treats rough terrain as open terrain while advancing. While charging, slam power attacking, or trample power attacking, this model does not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle.

No errata for Pathfinder (Create)

Construct
Construct
This model is a construct, and is not a living model.

No errata for Construct (Create)


Arcane Pattern Array
When another model within 10 inches of this model casts a spell, this model gains one power token. This model can have up to three power tokens at any time. During its Combat Action, this model can spend power tokens to boost one attack or damage roll for each token spent.

No errata for Arcane Pattern Array (Create)


Soul Vessel
This model generates a soul token as if it were a living model.

No errata for Soul Vessel (Create)


Void Generator
At any time during its activation, this model can spend a power token to give a friendly Faction model/unit within 5 inches of it Mage Static for one round.
Spells cast by enemy models within 10 inches of a model with Mage Static suffer +1 COST and -3 RNG.
  Errata-Spell Slave (2023-10-9)
Question: Do abilites that affect the cost paid to cast a spell prevent it from being cast by Spell Slave?
Answer: No.
Explanation: The COST is not actually modified until it’s time to pay it. Additionally, the Spell Spave model is using a special action or attack to cast, so the model never pays a cost in the first place. Finally, abilities don't modify the cost of the spell on the card, they modify how much is paid to cast the spell.

Weapons

12 1 - 12 -
Pistol
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.
