Farrow Razorback Crew |
Prime This model is available in one Prime Army, The Thornfall Alliance. It can also be used in the Unlimited game mode. You can view the other Mk3 models that made it into a Legacy Army at this page. Note that the rest of this page is about the model's Mark III rules. |
The farrow have recently made vast improvements in their military arms and have managed to construct a number of powerful weapons based on similar designs employed by other fighting forces. The razorback, a crude but effective rocket launcher, is one of the most potent of these weapons, and its explosive introduction onto the battlefields of western Immoren has resulted in more than a few shocking victories for the farrow.

Hit and run artillery with a surprising punch - and only limited accuracy.
Combos & Synergies
- Bloody Barnabas - Knockdown lets them land their powerful hits
- Carver1 - Veteran Leader helps them hit
- Splatter Boar - Animus gives additional RAT and reposition on scatter making this unit very accurate.
- You can get them free in The Thornfall Alliance or pay for them and get towards getting another model for free.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- Like all artillery it's brittle, and incoming fire has right of way
- Small AoEs don't kill that much.
Tricks & Tips
- Reposition to hide behind solid objects
