=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Thumper Crew is artillery - decently long ranged and hard hitting and designed to knock down big enemy targets. It's not terribly accurate but can ding whatever it hits. Harder hitting than any of the ordinary shooting units, it does its job but the lack of boosts shows for damage.
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Grim Angus]], [[Hunters Grim]], and [[Captain Gunnbjorn]] all go really well with the thumper.
** [[Captain Gunnbjorn]] - offers snipe and good protection on feat turn. But what he is best at is setting up rock walls to slam targets in to.
* [[Boomhowler2]] getting into a good position turn 1 is easier with Reposition[3].
* Knock something down with Momentum, then follow up with a [[Razorback Crew]] and Brutal Damage, or Ground Pounder from a Gunnery Sgt.
* [[Gunnery Sergeant]] - Veteran Leader for better hitting odds, Spyglass, Ancillary Attack.
* [[Gunnbjorn2]] - He has some neat Battle Plans for them, strips Stealth and Shield Guard and has a feat that interacts with AOEs.
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* It's light artillery - it's slow, it's squishy, and incoming fire has right of way. If the Thumper is in range then there are a lot of things that can walk into range and fire back.
* Shield Guards ruin its day - the same way they ruin any non AOE single shot, but on the thumper this can cost you a necessary slam and potentially hitting / knocking down another model
===Tricks & Tips===
*Unlike most light artillery, the Thumper is not [[Man-Sized]].

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

  • All models of a unit are Trooper models.
  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)
Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.

Lore

Thumper and pummeler cannons are the most powerful mobile artillery possessed by the Trollbloods. Originally naval cannons donated to the kriels, thumpers fire devastating cannonballs that punch through walls of enemy fortifications and flatten their warbeasts. The trollkin-designed pummeler instead fires devastating chain shot used for breaking troop formations from a distance, ideal for thinning enemy lines and mowing down anything in its firing arc.

Trivia

  • Released in Hordes: Evolution (2007)
