Warjack Profile: Juggernaut

Juggernaut_09-CLPD.pngThe iconic Khadoran jack, a pure beatstick with the armour that'll shrug off most damage without much of an issue. It's Ice Axe is unmatched by any other non character jack weapons in the game (Colossals not withstanding).

As with every Khadoran jack the SPD is low, MAT is average, RAT and DEF are both low, however the ARM makes the jack difficult to hurt unless you start hurling POW 15s at it. That said the jack is not indestructable, if you want that try the Devestator or Demolisher.






In terms of weapons the Juggernaut is well equipped for it's role. It has the Ice Axe, with a P+S that would roll -1 against Khadoran jacks for damage, add to that this axe comes with Critical Freeze (not worth boosting for as you'll want as many attacks as possible) which is excellent as auto hitting with aweapon this powerful is just horrible to be on the recieving end. Also the Juggernaut comes with an Open Fist, with a P+S 4 less than the Ice Axe so you will tend not to use it over the Ice axe, unless you want to use Power attacks, never underestimate the potential of one handed throws.

The Juggernaut is very straight forward. Send it after jacks and beasts and you can't go far wrong, fully loaded on focus the Juggernaut will scrap most models in an activation. Avoid sending the Juggernaut into large swarms of infantry as the Juggernaut lacks the attacks to cope with numbers, if your list needs a jack to cover that particular slot take Beast 09 for a spin, that's practiacally what it's designed for. The Juggernaut can also be used as an intimidation tool against players who aren't fully aware of it's capabilities, bowling it down a flank and letting it absorb all the inevitable firepower that will get flung at it. Alternatively simply use it to block charge lanes and use you units to go forward and deal out the damage.
