Soulstone+Miner


 * Soulstone Miner, Arcanist Minion [[image:WYR3040.jpg align="right"]]** toc

=__Overview__= This model is designed to be a glass cannon that can get to an enemy without being attacked, inflict wounds on itself to gain two extra melee attacks, and hit an enemy model with armor-ignoring attacks. It may also be used to get to some objectives within severe terrain.

=__Mobility__= This model has average walk and charge stats, but ignores severe terrain. To prevent it from being attacked its Tunneling action allows it to move without being able to be targeted by enemy models.

=__Offense__= This model has a decent armor-ignoring melee attack. Although its damage is average, it can sacrifice 2 Wd to gain two additional Melee Attacks. Models such as the Steamborg Executioner, Mechanical Rider, the Peacekeeper, the Guardian, and Ryle should be killed with one activation. The Syphon Essence (//sic//) trigger allows you to gain a Soulstone if you kill a model with the Rock Drill.
 * Rock Drill – Melee Weapon**

This spell is similar to its melee attack except that moderate and severe damage flips generate blasts.
 * Shatter Stone** **– Spell**

This spell will instantly kill a target model with 2 Wd or less remaining and turn it into a nice shinny Soulstone for you.
 * Extract Soul** **– Spell**

=__Resilience__= This model has 1 Armor, but only 6 wounds and an average defense making it not very resilient. However, as long as the Tunneling ability is in effect this model can not be killed, though all it can do during that time is move where it can be placed back in play.

=__Tips and Tricks__= Use its Tunneling action to move to a target and on a following turn place it within melee range of that target, then use Overdrive to gain Melee Expert, and finally perform up to 4 attacks on the target.

This ability does not appear to be very useful. Although both Ramos and C. Hoffman can hire and heal the Soulstone Miner allowing it to act as a Soulstone Factory it is quite resource intensive to do so. However, late in the game if the Soulstone Miner becomes irrelevant (such as sitting on an objective your opponent has no hope of taking) it may be worth generating a Soulstone or two to gain an advantage elsewhere.
 * Mine Soulstone**

=__Master-Specific Tips__= Ramos and C. Hoffman can both heal the Soulstone Miner, negating some of the wounds it can inflict on itself and increasing its resilience.

=__Minion-Specific Tips__= (As with Master-Specific Tips, going into any specific Synergies with other Minions.)

=__Playing Against a Soulstone Miner__= Your opponent will likely use this model to attack and possibly kill one of your models, but may also to use it to take an objective on a later turn. Once Tunneling ends this model can be attacked as normal.
