Dez & Gubbin, Dynamite Duo

Mk4 has been announced, and we need to talk about what it means for the future of this website. Please join the discussion either on the WMU Facebook Group or the Talk:Main Page area of this wiki.

Dez & Gubbin, Dynamite Duo Mercenary, & Minion, Ordic Gobber Character Solo

Gubbin grew jealous watching his sister, Flubbin, fly above the ruins in her tiny air balloon, mocking him as she dropped bombs on their enemies. Gubbin wanted to fly, too, so he did the only reasonable thing a mostly deranged gobber would do: he asked his friend to fire him out of a cannon. Dez, being Dez, didn't mind at all and was happy to help the little lunatic learn the hard way why his plan was a very bad idea.

Riot Quest - Although this model has rules which allow it to be played in Warmachine and Hordes, it was primarily designed for the Riot Quest boardgame. RQ is set in an alternate and/or future timeline where the Infernals won the war. Some of the RQ models are slightly more goofy than their WMH equivalents.

Mercenary - This model will work for Crucible Guard, Cygnar, Khador, and the Protectorate.

Minion - This model will work for Circle, and Trollbloods.

Abilities

• Tough
• Girded - This model and friendly models B2B with it do not suffer blast damage.
• Projectile Gubbin [ Minifeat ] - This model can use Projectile Gubbin once per game at any time during its activation. This model gains boosted blast damage rolls. Projectile Gubbin lasts for one turn.

Thoughts on Dez & Gubbin

Dez & Gubbin in a nutshell

They have an excellent AOE gun with a lot of good rules so they are exceptional long range combatants. They also bring Girded as a way for your squshy support solos to hide from blasts. Incidentally they are both Gobber and Ordic, given you full access to the Mastermind models bar Madrak0.

Combos & Synergies

• Gunnbjorn2 - In Vengeance of Dhunia they become friendly faction models to him, so they benefit from the feat. With the feat and mini feat they become an unholy terror for one turn.
• Snipe puts them at RNG 20" on the gun.
• As an Ordic Gobber model they give you access to all models with Mastermind in the game: namely Malvin & Mayhem or Malvin2, and Princess Delores.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Only one shot which can easily be shield guarded.
• Basically no melee capability.

Tricks & Tips

• They are currently the only way the Protectorate of Menoth can gain access to Malvin & Mayhem.

Rules Clarifications

Rules Clarification : Tough - None yet. (Edit)
Rules Clarification : Girded - None yet. (Edit)
Rules Clarification : Projectile Gubbin - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification:  : Magical Damage      (Edit) (Click Expand to read)

* The "Damage Type: Magical" is not inherited by "secondary" damage from a weapon. That is, stuff like arcs (Electro Leap) or hazards (Scather). (Infernal Ruling) All spells have "Damage Type: Magical" (refer errata). This is inherited by "immediate" secondary damage (such as Eruption of Spines). (Infernal Ruling) and might be inherited by "lingering" secondary damage (see below). If a spell leaves a template in play that does damage to models that walk around in it, then: if it is not described as a hazard it will do magical damage to models that walk around in it. (Example: Razor Wall) if it is a hazard then it will not do magical damage to models that walk around in it. Instead, it does whatever damage type is specified by the spell description. (Example: Breath of Corruption). (Infernal Ruling) If a weapon/spell includes Magic Damage and another kind of elemental damage it will still damage Incorporeal models. Incorporeal models are not affected by the rule "if an attack does multiple types of damage and a model is immune to at least one it is immune to the entire attack." The phrase "immune to non-magical damage" should be interpreted as "immune to damage that doesn't include Damage Type: Magical" (not interpreted as "has immunity to Corrosion and Electricity and Cold and etc.")

Rules Clarification : Arcing Fire      (Edit) Arcing Fire lets you ignore models but not terrain. You don't ignore clouds, forests or buildings.

Rules Clarification : High-Explosive      (Edit) Deadly Precision vs High Explosive (Edit) The +2 POW from Deadly Precision would not apply to high explosive POW (Infernal Ruling) Full Force vs High Explosive (Edit) If a weapon has both Full Force and High Explosive, then follow the rules for Full Force (ie full POW). (Infernal Ruling).

Rules Clarification : Minimum Range - None yet. (Edit)

Rules Clarification : Secondary Blast      (Edit) Additional AOE (Edit) The special rule states what the blast damage POW is - you don't need to halve it a second time. If the deviation distance is short and the AOEs end up overlapping a model, that model will take a damage roll for each AOE it's in. The distance of the second deviation is a d6 roll, unless the rule on the card specifies otherwise (Infernal Ruling). If you have an ability to reroll deviation (such as Artillerist) then you can reroll each additional AOE independent of the others. If the deviation direction of the additional AOEs is limited (such as Bounce) then the direction of the reroll is limited too. (Infernal Ruling) The additional AOEs are treated as if they "came from the weapon" exactly the same as the first AOE. If the weapon has Damage Type: Magical, then the additional AOEs will do magical damage too. (Infernal Ruling) If the weapon has a bonus to damage rolls (such as Bring It Down or Fire for Effect) then the additional AOEs will too. (Infernal Ruling) If the weapon has something which modifies its blast damage (such as Full Force or High-Explosive), then that modifier will apply to the additional AOE blast damage too. (Infernal Ruling)

Rules Clarification : Knockdown      (Edit) Knockdown (Edit) - Remember, knockdown only prevents what it says it does. Refer to the Knockdown page for a recap of what a model can/can't do.
