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.

Release Trivia

• The Gorgon is named after a (Greek) mythological creature, like all myrmidons. The tale of the Gorgon becomes legend in 700 BC, when the poet Hesiod writes about the three Gorgon sisters: Medusa, Euryale and Stheno. The latter two were immortal, the first one wasn't. All three had venemous snakes for hair and the power to turn a living being to stone with their terrible gaze, which Kinectic Grip's effect might be in reference to. Medusa became the most famous of these three when she was killed by the hero Perseus (using a mirrored shield to defeat her, as her reflection was harmless), who later used her cut-off head as a weapon. One story recounts how either he or the goddess Athena uses Medusa's head to turn the giant Atlas into stone, thus creating the Atlas mountain range that still stands today.

Lore

The Gorgon exists to dictate the flow of battle by depriving the enemy of mobility. Its integral force cannon unleashes blasts of energy capable of forestalling an enemy’s forward momentum. Its more powerful fields require close proximity, and the Gorgon will rush forward to seize even larger and more powerful ’jacks or myrmidons to pin them in place. While its force-locked prey struggles to extract itself, the Gorgon deals punishing blows with its arm-mounted glaives.
