Latigo+Pistolero

 * Latigo Pistolero, Neverborn Minion**

=__Overview__= Cheap, Insignificant gunslingers that help out around the Ortega Latigo compound.

=__Mobility__= The Latigo Pistolero has a fairly slow Wk/Cg 4/6, so they may have trouble keeping up with other Ortegas. They don't have any special mobility tricks.

=__Offense__= Latigo pistoleros are pretty good with a pistol. They have a Cb 4, and Dg 2/3/4. They can raise their Cb with (0) Follow Their Lead if they shoot at a model that a Unique Ortega has already targeted.

They're also decent in melee combat, with a Cb 5, Dg 1/3/4, and the Critical Strike trigger. They can still get the same +1 Cb from (0) Follow Their Lead on melee attacks.

=__Resilience__= Latigo Pistoleros have a decent Wp 5 and Df 5, and a variety of defensive options. They only have 5 Wd and no special way to heal, but that's not bad for a cheap, expendable model.

They're Stubborn, which helps with Wp duels, and like most Ortegas they can cast Shrug Off to get rid of unwanted effects. They need just a 6 or higher to cast it as a (0) action.

Lastly, and perhaps most impressively, a Latigo pistolero can give friendly Family (including other Latigo pistoleros, but not themselves) a +2 Df until they activate, which can be a lifesaver if your crew is caught out in the open.

=__Tips and Tricks__= Note that, because of their Ornery ability, Latigo pistoleros cannot be part of the dreaded Ortega alpha strike Companion chain. Be aware of when you activate the Latigo pistolero, since this affects how they synergize with the rest of the Ortega family. If you activate a pistolero early, they can give nearby Family a Df +2 bonus until they activate. If you activate a pistolero later, they can get a +1 Cb to shoot at a model that was targeted by a Unique Ortega.

=__Master-Specific Tips__=

Perdita will hire the Latigo pistoleros when she needs cheap, expendable models. They have defensive synergies with the rest of the Ortega crew. They're not good objective-grabbers, but they can provide a cheap, decent gunline to protect the rest of the family from getting overwhelmed. In some Strategies they're useless, but in others they can be very helpful. If you put a Latigo pistolero near Perdita and have it give her a +2 Df with "Look Out", that brings her to an amazing **Df 10**! With that, she can respond to enemy ranged attacks with her Faster'n You trigger for great effect. Keep the Latigo pistolero hidden behind cover if you do this, though, or opponents will just kill it first.

Hamelin the Plagued can hire the Latigo pistoleros, because they're Insignificant. In Hamelin's crew, they provide ranged attacks that the Crew lacks, which may be important depending on the Strategy and the enemy Crew.

=__Minion-Specific Tips__=

Usually, you'll fine Latigo pistoleros with other Family models, because of their synergies.

=__Playing Against Latigo pistolero__= The Latigo pistolero is usually a low-priority target unless it's protecting a nearby Family member.
