Editing Palanite Subjugator (section)

==Crunch==
On Necromunda, Subjugators are the beatsticks of the Palanite Enforcers. The defining feature of Subjugators is their armour, paired with the Vigilance Assault Shield. Where a Palanite has a 5+ save, 4+ against blasts, a Subjugator with a shield has a 4+ save, 3+ against blasts, or 3+ from shots in the front arc, 2+ from melee attacks in the front arc (or from blasts/templates in the front arc). This means that your Subjugators can risk body-blocking many attacks, until your opponents start accumulating -AP weapons.

You can try to keep your Subjugators nearer the enemy than the regular Palanites, to force '''Cool''' checks if the enemy want to target the lighter-armoured fighters. Just be careful of [[That Guy|friendly fire]] from your own Palanites.

Because of their more close-range nature, Subjugators tend to be used as melee threats, in which case you should be mindful not just of their survivability, but how far to push it – 1A at WS4+ is not a close combat powerhouse, while you can try to batter an unsuspecting Ganger or Juve, or push forward to Coup de Grace the miscreants your Palanites have downed with shooting, you don’t want to try and take on any melee Champions with these guys. Versatile close combat weapons are your friend to help avoid Reaction Attacks, as are Knockback weapons like the shield, although the latter are riskier.
