====Blackpowder's Buccaneers====

Teased during Warhammer day, we got a [[awesome|fucking ogor pirate with a monkey and parrot]]. The warband itself is another Big Boy warband, where the leader has 6+ wounds and the other fighters are a lot weaker and serve a support role. The inspiration mechanic for Blackpowder himself, as well as his big gun attack, revolves around discarding swag tokens. Discard two swag tokens, and Blackpowder inspires! But how do you get swag?

Well, your gnoblars, parrot, and monkey all have Light-Fingered, which means that when they attack an adjacent fighter with an upgrade and succeed, then they break an upgrade that that fighter is holding. After breaking an upgrade, gain a swag counter!

Now this is... hard. Your fighters all have a decent chance of scoring a hit, but not an amazing chance. This means that you are not only banking on your very weak fighters to get yourself ammunition and for your big boy to inspire, but also that your opponent has upgrades on their fighters in the first place. Unless your opponent was using Illusion Upgrades, your opponent needs to have gained glory to get themself some upgrades in the first place. Probably meaning that you are behind. There are also only two cards in the entire deck that can give you a swag counter, which means you'll be digging through cards for the chance of getting a swag token.

Your little dudes aren't the worst, though their damage profile puts them on par with the weakest fighters from seasons 1 & 2. What you need to know is that Peggz the Gnoblar (take a guess which one this is) is by far your weakest fighter, with a melee attack and the fewest useful keywords. His attack is a range 1 attack that only gets an extra die when inspired. Kagey the Gnoblar is far more useful because he can Fly, has a range 3+ attack action, and is pretty good for controlling objectives. Shreek the Parrot is better than Kagey, because he is far more mobile, has more dice, can move alongside Blackpowder, and gets supports from a distance from Blackpowder; further, his attack has Grievous (+1 damage on crits) and gets Stagger (remove guard tokens) when inspired. Finally, Mange is your go getter. Though many expected Mange to be a Beast like Shreek and thus being unable to get attack action upgrades or hold objectives, Mange is strictly a companion. Whenever a minion (so, the Gnoblars) move, he can push himself 3 hexes as long as he is within 2 hexes of the moving minion. He also has Grievous and gains Ensnare when Inspired on his attack action, meaning he has a pretty great chance of hitting and dealing okay damage when in the thick of things. It's a shame that ALL the little dudes have only 2 wounds and do poor damage. Kainan could annihilate these guys blow for blow.

But they're fucking awesome anyways. They have yet to receive a warscroll for AoS, but a "leaked" version has Blackpowder breaking artifacts when wounding in the combat phase. Yo-ho motherfucker.
