The bounty is out and it is QUAKING! Come take a look at the newest bounty hunter of them all!

 

Who is Hutchuck?

This is a new merc/minion solo.  He will work for Cygnar, Khador and Mercs.  He will also work for Circle, Trollbloods, and Skorne.  I guess dragons can’t have all the fun. Sorry Cryx and Legion.

What Does he Do?

Hutchuck is an ogrun with a job.  And he does his job well.  He has similar stats to the bokur RAT/MAT 6 and Def 13.  ARM16 with 8 boxes means he needs a good whack sent his way or he is going to keep on moving.  He has a range 8” gun that has a load of awesome abilities:

Brain Damage:  If you get whacked by this you can’t cast or upkeep spells or aniumus.  Even warbeasts have to watch out.

Quake: Direct hit on enemy model is a knockdown!  Knockdowns are scary and especially ones coming from Hutchuck!

Rust:  Warjacks lose some armor.  That colossal too tanky?  Not when Hutchuck is around!
Wow and that is just his gun!  Hutchuck is loaded some other nasty surprises too:

Ambush:  That’s right.  POW 14 reach Ogrun coming at you from the board edge.  He can threaten 13” plus his base from the board edge with a charging halberd.  This guy packs a punch.

Take Down: WHAT! The bounty hunter doesn’t take prisoners he takes lives!  RFP is becoming more and more important these days.  Watch out blightbringer, Thagrosh can’t save you from Hutchuck!

Wild Shot:  He can shoot before he moves.  Hutchuck can kill before he moves and after. This isn’t bushwack, this is better!

Who Wants the Bounty Hunter?

Hutchuck is a great addition to any list. He is a top tier solo that can cause issues turn 2 and beyond.  Small arms fire will have a touch time taking him down you never know where he might be popping up with Ambush.

Some caster synergies:

Cygnar:  Any snipe caster or deadeye caster.  Increasing the range or accuracy of his grenades will make models and even some casters worried. All 3 haleys can keep Hutchuck safe and going longer with their defensive spells.

Khador:  Sorscha or Zerkova 2 can freeze models making Hutchuck’s grenades on target.  You can shake stationary but you can’t shake Brain Damage.

Mercs: Ossrum has both snipe and Fire for Effect which is both good on the bounty hunter.  The master gunner can give him artillerist and boosted range.

Trolls: Trolls might have a hard time fitting the bounty hunter in since most of their buffs are faction only.  Gunbjorn does have snipe so he might take a fancy.

Circle:  Rust is a big addition to circle.  High armor warjacks don’t always go down to 1 stalker.

Skorne:  Rasheth and Hutchuck are a armor nightmare. A collosal could get down to armor 12 if they live the dream with feat/spells/grenades.
