Protectorate: Deliverer Arms Master Brings the Heat
Menoth’s classic shooting unit just got a solo to help them out. Come check out the Deliverer Arms Master.
Who Is He?
This is a new menoth solo to help out Deliverers. It costs 3 points and is FA:2. This solo gives the Deliverers some accuracy help and can make their combined range attack a little more guaranteed damage. If you were looking for a shooting solo then consider the arms master in the next list.
What Does the Deliverer Arms Masters do?
He is SPD5 RAT6 DEF13 ARM12 with 5 boxes. Nothing to fancy for this solo but he is cheap.
The Arms Master is equipped with a : Fire Bomb RNG6 AOE3 POW12 with Crit Fire and a POW 7 RNG.5 melee sword.
Special Rules:
- Combat Coordination: He gives a single deliverer a reroll for attack or damage. This should be the primary model when making combined range attacks. This is useful when you get a low damage roll.
- High Angle Fire: Give a model Arcing Fire. This is kind of nasty on a Redeemer and Kreoss1 might consider including this guy to make his Redeemer that much scarier!
- Veteran Leader: Gives Deliverers +1 attack rolls. With this model around they go to RAT2 when not aiming…Better than 1 I guess haha. It is really decent on the Sunburst and is probably why you would take him.
Lists that Could Use a Deliver Arms Master?
The arms masters High Angle Fire is his best ability. When using a Redeemer you can shoot over jack lines and get to the more squishy models like Arcanist or Mechanics. This classic pop and drop lists gets a little more dangerous since the Redeemer can shoot over models blocking squishier targets.

Revenant’s Final Thought:
I am not really sure what PP was aiming for in this model. It by itself doesn’t do anything useful and and 3 points is competing for spots with a Allegiant of the Order of the Fist. If this Arms Master had a mini feat that gave them explosive ammo so their blasts would still be POW8 or caused Fire it would have been a big boost to Deliverers. I can’t really argue why you would take this model besides wanting to paint him up or if a future theme made him free. He arguably is only useful on the Sunburst
Final Grade: C+
His arcing fire ability might be useful in some situations and makes the Sunburst better.
