=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Galleon is the premier ranged platform in Mercenaries. It can attack from farther away than the new Blockader, and the drag makes it more dangerous to opposing heavies. It is also strong against high DEF, low ARM infantry that is not blast immune.

The Galleon is dangerous to most things in the game, and has above average ranged output for a colossal. On most turns, its combat action should consist of firing the Gun Ports, then using the Harpoon Gun to drag in a heavy and stabbing it with the Harpoon melee weapon if at all possible. It also has threat extension/general utility for other models in your army by way of Power Lifter.

The downside is, no mercenary caster besides [[Bartolo]] and [[Ashlynn2]] really runs it well. RAT 5 and POW 13 on the cannons means it is neither accurate, nor powerful, so if you aren't dragging things in to their doom a couple times per game, you may struggle to get value out of it.

Compared to its brother the [[Blockader]] is prefers buffs to it's accuracy and damage, such as Artillerist, Hymn of Battle, Hand of Fate or Hot-Shot, where as the Blockader much prefers buffs to its ARM or threat range, but does not need much help with its output as it's already excellent.

===Combos & Synergies===
With Warcasters:
* [[Captain Bartolo Montador]] turns the Galleon up to 11. [[Batten Down the Hatches]] and his feat make the Galleon a very tough target for a lot of armies to deal with. [[Hot Shot]] boosts every single ranged attack damage roll it makes, while [[Broadside]] gives a free ranged attack, which can catch opponents off guard if you run the Galleon and cast this spell.
* [[Ashlynn2]] is one of the few casters who actually prefers it over a Blockader, becuase the latter needs speed or ARM buffs she doesn't have and the Galleon with its excellent range high number of shots makes much better use of Hand Of Fate combined with Hymn of Battle from [[Choir]] in LR. In any other theme give her a different jack.
* [[Drake MacBain]] can use [[Fail Safe]] to make it hard to kill and [[Jackhammer]] for smashing things after a Drag. But realistically you are better off using these spells with a [[Blockader]]. [[Fortune]] is always fun for making sure attacks hit as well, though usually you'll have Fail Safe on the Galleon.
* [[Magnus the Traitor|Magnus1]] can make it tough to disable systems with [[Death Ward]], while [[Iron Aggression]] makes it even more of a beast in Melee. Or he can just add [[Snipe]] to give it that much more reach with its ranged attacks.
* [[Captain Phinneus Shae]] can use [[Phantasm]] to make enemies have to draw close to shoot it, then [[Coup De Main]] to give it that extra charge range to get into melee.
* [[Lieutenant Crosse, Resistance Fighter|Crosse2]] has a range increase in Fire Group and can provide it with cheap shield guards to keep it save from incoming fire. He prefers other jacks like Mariners and Rovers though.
* [[Caine's Hellslingers|Caine3]] might find it useful for building a big synergy chain during his feat turn and it makes great use of Calamity, both due to it's high number of attacks.
* [[Commander Coleman Stryker|Stryker1]] in Flames can give it a 19" drag threat with snipe and his feat makes it hard to bring down.

With anything else:
* The [[Choir of Menoth]] makes it a bigger ranged threat in Llaelese Resistance.
* Anything with [[Mark Target]]; that is [[Rangers]] in Kingmakers or Resistance, the [[Exemplar Errants]] CA in Resistance, or any solo in [[Soldiers of Fortune]].
* [[Master Gunner Dougal MacNaile]] or [[Herne & Jonne]] have [[Artillerist]] for extra RAT, Dougal even has [[Double Powder Ration]] for extra RNG for one round.
* [[Ragman]] can stay close to the Galleon and use [[Death Field]] to weaken all opponents in its melee range, while the Galleon can drag models into the Dark Shround.
* A Galleon run by [[Asphyxious4]] will have Dark Shroud until Gaspy dies and can use his focus to boost attack or damage rolls. He can even run one for [[Durgen]] who loves AOE's on feat turn. It's extremely pricey as a package though.
* [[Hermit of Hengehold]] buffs it's damage with his ARM debuff. He also massively appreciates being craned around with Power Lifter to get into position.
* [[Alexia2]]/[[Orin]]/[[Eilish]] - Huge bases are notorious for having spells slung their way, so spell hate is almost mandatory support for them. Alexia and Orin can negate spells with Arcane Vortex, while Eilish punishes the casters and Disbinds any upkeeps afterwards.
* [[Powder Monkey]]s or [[Steelhead Arcanist]]s can empower it.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Drag sounds good until you consider stealth, Shield Guard, Sacrificial Pawn, stuff that can’t be moved, walls/terrain/other models ... it’s a long list.
* Random rate of fire, its really sad when your gun ports only put out 2 small AoEs because of unlucky rolls.
* Low MAT and RAT means it gets less done under Macbain or Magnus1 than you'd like since you'll be boosting to hit often.
* Besides Bart, none of the Mercenary casters make it super scary.
* Most of the synergies above can be done with a Blockader for a better effect (especially the ARM increases). The only stand outs are Ashlynn2's Hand of Fate and Bart's Hot Shot, because the Galleon needs output support much more than the Blockader does.

===Tricks & Tips===
* Galleon throws models 8.5". If your opponent has left a model within 8.5" of their caster that Galleon can reach with a directly-away throw (review your throw rules), you should look for the knockdown assassination, especially if you can have Bart cast Broadsides to drag the caster in after the throw.
* Never make the mistake of running the Galleon without a caster who does not give it a powerful effect. A Galleon with only 3 focus and nothing else to zazz it up is not a strong use of 35 points.
* Don't forget its new Power Lifter for threat ranges for your heavies.

=Other=
===Trivia===
* Released in the Warmachine: Colossals expansion (2012).
* The Galleons were commissioned by Bart, but Magnus bought them out from under him while swinging a deal to contract Bart to assist with his plans to take Fellig and mount an offensive against Cygnar. Magnus used a Galleon to end the Second Cygnaran Civil War in the final battle using it to defeat Stryker and nearly kill Leto had Caine not intervened.
* In the fluff Galleons are built by Black Anchor Heavy Industries. When Privateer Press started selling certain Huge Based models separately from the main product line in 2017, they used Black Anchor Heavy Industries for this line of models. See also [[:Category: BAHI]].
* Although this model is about 90% the same as the [[Blockader]], they are sold as separate models. You can't buy a multi-kit and magnetise it. So they're only on the same chassis in the fluff.
