Splatter Boar

At his remote laboratory, Dr. Arkadius has been able to indulge his scientific and surgical theories to create frighteningly specialized warbeasts. Fitted with a mortar and a bandolier of shells containing highly volatile substances, the masked splatter boar trades accuracy for the ability to bombard anything and everything with corrosive chemicals and panic-inducing gases.

Thoughts on Splatter Boar

Splatter Boar in a nutshell

The Splatter Boar is the fun and unpredictable cousin of the Gun Boar. A light shooty boar with a slightly unpredictable effect that plays to the comic side of the Farrow.

Combos & Synergies

• Helga the Conquerer Field Marshal: Gang Fighter gives the gun boar an actual melee game
• Lord Carver, BMMD, Esq. III Batten Down the Hatches makes them as tough as some heavies and puts them really into play in gun duels.
• Midas Cheap bone tokens once they are dead - and expendable warbeasts used as roadblocks return to play easily with Pet Cemetary. Let the enemy kill them - and bring them back that much stronger.
• Sturm & Drang Under Sturm they win shooting duels with other lights forever thanks to the ARM buff and Shield Guard. Drang makes them at least vaguely competent in melee.
• Farrow Razorback Crew - Animus can be applied to the Razorback Crew pushing their RAT to above average with Carver.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Low MAT and not high enough POW to hurt heavies
• Psychoactive Gas does very little unless enemies are base to base
• Small AoE means they don't actually kill many infantry.

Tricks & Tips

• You might prefer missing to hitting with them against infantry, hoping for a lucky deviation that will hit more people.
• Psychoactive gas can be used to prevent a warlock from transferring to the target.
