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
Critical Stagger	On a critical hit, the model hit loses its initinal attacks and cannot make power attacks or special attacks for one round. No errata for Critical Stagger (Create)

An infant Titan, discarded as warbeast material by the beast handlers. Instead, they torture the poor thing into a wailing and sorry creature, whose mere presence is disturbing and unnerving for even the most fearless of creatures. Template:Infobox

Thoughts on the Agonizer

The Agonizer in a nutshell

The Agonizer is a support warbeast with a number of utility abilities, but its backbone ability is Gnawing Pain. Effectively a 2 point melee ARM buff for whatever you brought with you. The rest of the abilities are all situational.

Combos & Synerges

The agonizer loves tough models - tough models getting tougher has a much larger proportional impact - and the agonizer is the backbone of any Skorne brick.

• Titan Sentry - it's a shield carrying Titan, meaning its effective ARM in its front arc was already higher than 20. The tough just got a whole lot tougher.
• Tiberion - he's a character Sentry. What's not to love?
• Bronzeback Titan - makes the Agonizer more fury efficient.
• Cyclops Brute - light warbeasts have shields too!
• Aradus Scarab - can dig in the agonizer with its animus, protecting this support beast.
• Cataphract Cetrati - his bubble turns them up to "crazy hard to kill", though it can be difficult fitting all of them into it.
• Gatorman Posse - yes, they are minions. Tough and Unyielding ones - and with the Agonizer, having a debuff it's just as helpful to minions as to faction warriors.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's squishy, especially for the points.
• It can’t use its animus and cry in the same turn.
• The Agonizer belongs in any brick list you want to run - but probably not outside.

Tricks & Tips

• If you are exactly 4" away from a heavy everything without chain strike will be covered under the STR debuff.
• If possible, try to activate the agonizer before your paingivers, so they can strip the fury from it. An agonizer can now frenzy, and will eat a paingiver more often than it won't. Fitting, but embarrassing.
• Look out for common spell slinging solos that can be caught out by Spiritual Affliction. Preventing Lanyssa Ryssl, Orin Midwinter, Wrongeye or any of the Empower solos from doing their thing can really mess up some game plans.

Trivia

• Released in Hordes: Evolution (2007)
• Prior to Mk3 the Agonizer was a solo, not a warbeast.
• There is an Agonizer Plushy that you can buy around convention times in the PP store. So adorable, you can torture or cuddle him in your bed!
