Army List Builders Arcanist in a nutshell
Army List Archive
Theme Forces The Arcanist is a great support model. Keeping your Arcanists alive should be a priority—
Glossary of Abbreviations be wary of leaving them close to myrmidons with shooty infantry or solos nearby. If you are
taking myrmidons and you are not taking at least one Arcanist, you may need to reconsider
your list, given the chap's abilities. You should always have at least one Arcanist per heavy
myrmidon in your list, especially if it is marshaled. It is not without very good reason that
Rules for Editors the Arcanist is considered perhaps the best investment of 1pt in any Retribution list.

Mk I Archive
Terrain Archive You should be using his abilities when possible, but sometimes punching something is
more useful than helping out another 'jack. Assassinations or highly unlikely kills with the
Arcanist are almost always worth a try for the laughs. Your opponent can never begrudge
you for finishing off his high cost beast/jack with your one point support solo!

Combos & Synergies

Banshee - boosting to hit to get the knockdown is often all you want out of it
Griffon - get off a charge to engage a lot of shooting models
Moros - boosting the gun to get lower DEF on a caster can get your assassination
run going
Helios - one Focus becomes many
Imperatus, Phoenix, Banshee, Manticore, Helios, Hyperion - all love Concentrated
Power for extra damage to bust up high armor targets

Aspis - Shield Guard helps keep the Arcanist alive, while the Arcanist can repair
any damage the Aspis takes from the shot to keep it running
House Shyeel Artificer - Force Wall prevents the Arcanist from dying to an errant
blast
Drawbacks and Downsides
As single-wound models they are vulnerable to a lot of things: corrosion, blast
damage, electro-leaps, etc..
You may not give Focus to a myrmidon you have allocated to
Low DEF/ARM means they die to a light breeze
You have to stay a little too close to your myrmidons in case you need to Repair
Tips & Tricks
Protect your Arcanists by blocking LoS with Ravyn's cloud or larger base models
Keep your Arcanists within 6" of your myrmidons just in case you need to Repair
Against electro-leaping armies like the Nemos, make sure you stay at max range
when using your abilities, and don't leave any other targets nearby for them to
bounce off of.
Kaelyssa's feat can allow them to edge a bit closer to the front line so that they can
go on future turns to where they are most needed.
Force Wall Theme List
When included in Kaelyssa's Force Wall, Arcanists come in much higher number and gain
an improved version of Power Booster that allows you to give focus even if the Myrmidon
already has some. You will want to maximize your Arcanist count by bringing many
Myrmidons in her battlegroup. The theme list opens up some synergy with more
Myrmidons who want more focus, like the Manticore, Helios, or Phoenix. And while it will
be impossible to fully fuel every myrmidon in the list, the fact that everything is SPD 6
(except the Artificer, which is almost irrelevant in this context) means that switching the

 Arcanists' attention from one flank to another is never a troublesome proposition.
Mentioning the Artificer, however, it is good to keep the Mega-Mitten Man and Arcanists
close by to each other to boost their survivability.
