Celestial Fulcrum

None of the works of the Circle Orboros better demonstrates their mastery of the natural world than the Celestial Fulcrum, an enormous arcane apparatus that precisely models the seasons and the orbits of Caen’s moons. Able to harness the primal tides of nature, the Fulcrum can unleash lightning, fire, and deathly winds, plunging the fairest summer day into the heart of the maelstrom.

Thoughts on the Celestial Fulcrum

Celestial Fulcrum in a nutshell

It's a shooty battle engine, with a fair amount of support features. It is has the toughness of a heavy, and enables you to field a wall of construct. Each of the guns have a dedicated target, with the lightning best vs infantry and the fire AOE is best on harder target, the cold spray is the hardest to use safely because of its low range.

Combos & Synergies

• Most of the Circle warlocks are Blackclads, and like +1 to hit.
• It provides Fury Management for the Wold warbeasts, sometimes enabling a gunline
• Druids of Orboros and the Blackclad Wayfarer love veteran leader.
• You can sometimes do interesting things positioning it via Shifting Stones.
• The Bones of Orboros theme loves just about everything about the Fulcrum.
• Chuck Dogwood gives and gains veteran leader.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's a big target, somewhat expensive, and can't kill heavies.
• If for some reason it isn't allowed to make ranged attacks (such as from Kolgrima's feat), it can't make attacks of any kind.
• Because of its different ranges, it may not be able to use all of its guns every turn.
• Although it has Gun Platform, it can't make free strikes.

Tricks and Tips

• It's immune to all but one of the elements. Use it to screen your other models from those attacks.
• Lead with the cold spray. If you crit stationary your target, you have a better chance to hit with it's other guns
• You should probably boost the lightning because it does nothing if it misses
