Prime
This model is available in one Prime Army, 5th Division. 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 harsh winters of Khador have given rise to many wild beasts but none may be as deadly as the Manhunter, whose blinding ferocity helps claims as many victims as the terrible Khadoran winter.

Thoughts on Manhunter

Female Variant

Manhunter in a nutshell

The Manhunter is a pure combat solo without any secondary utility function (unlike the Blighted Nyss Warlord, for example). As a fire&forget missile, one can deliver crushing damage to the unguarded flanks of your enemy, or go full kamikaze, and take down something important before biting the dust. With 2 initial weapon-master attacks with an outstanding MAT, the manhunter hits what it swings at, and kills what it hits. That comes with an adequate mobility and some above-average defense against ranged threats, so most of the time the Manhunter has no problem reaching his prey and delivering some punishing blows. Also, his presence can be really annoying in scenarios, thanks to Tough, Stealth, and that he can survive most of the blast damages thanks to his ARM (that's some thick fur hat for sure).

Combos & Synergies

Manhunters benefit greatly from any threat extension or protection spells and abilities. Weigh your options though, whether or not it worth to burn a spell on a solo. Most obvious mentions:

  • Butcher1 - Fury and his Feat; that is nearly 20 points of damage against an ARM20 target.
  • Irusk1 - an excellent recipient for Battle Lust, and his feat can make its survival to the next level. Reveille can also help you with unexpected knock-downs. Irusk2's Solid Ground also worth a note.
  • Strakhov2 - Last Stand is an excellent spell for assassination runs.
  • Vlad1 - what not to like on Signs and Portents?
  • Vlad2 - his feat is all about making super solos out of ordinary soldiers; why not put it on a solo with awesome damage output already?
  • Yuri the Axe gives them Treewalker. Beside the extra defense in forest, the real benefit is that it allows the Manhunter to ignore forests for LOS; and who doesn't like sitting 6 inches in a forest where no one can see you, then come bursting out of the trees to apply axe to face?

Drawbacks & Downsides

  • No secondary functions. It kicks teeth in, and that's about it.

Tricks & Tips

  • Though his threat ranges are predictable, that's not necessary a bad thing. One can hardly ignore the threat posed by a single Manhunter, so feel free to use him as a board controlling tool. Opponents will often commit extra effort to neutralize the threat, often over-committing and leaving other models unprotected (or un-dealt with).

Rules Clarifications

Rules Clarification : Weapon Master - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification : Advance Deployment      (Edit)

  • Sometimes you can attach a WA or CA that doesn't have AD to a unit that does have AD. If you do, the attachment effectively gains AD and they can all advance deploy together. (Locked Thread)

Rules Clarification : Stealth      (Edit)

  • Stealth models are not invisible and you can target them - you'll just auto-miss most of the time.
  • You can target them with a charge.
  • You can target them with an AOE, have it auto-miss and scatter, luckily land on top of them anyway, and that will hit them.

Rules Clarification : Tough - None yet. (Edit)
