Who can control this warjack?
The standard way to include a Mercenary warjack in your army is to put it under the control of one of these models. So first you need to figure out which of these models will work for your Faction.

Thoughts on the Swabber
Swabber in a nutshell
The Blockader is an alternative chassis for the Galleon, focusing on close-up, in-your-face rocket punches and sprays. The Blockader ditches the crane and harpoon for powerful, long-range punches that grab you and haul you around the battlefield. When it isn't punching you, the Blockader can lay down a withering array of sprays to decimate packed enemy formations.
