Could a slayer potentially arm lock on turn one. Use it's other open fist to arm lock on turn two. And proceed to head butt away?

By head butt I mean, attack with it's tusks.

No, the rules says that while you put a lock on an opponent you may make no other power attacks of any type. Hordes page 51.

If a model is locking a different jack it is unable to make another power attack so no wrestling the jack to the ground :(

Nice idea though. The seether might be more up your street with its free power attack.

From his edit, the answer would be yes. But you'd have to buy the attack with focus.

So:

No headbutt power attack

Yes Tusk attack, but you'd need to spend a focus. You can even attack with the other claw if you'd like to instead.

Since that plan won't work, let me suggest this instead. Lock them from the back. They can't attempt to break free, since you're not in melee range, and are unable to move. Of course, the planets would have to align to create an instance in where you'd, and can, do this without risking your jack.

Telekinesis.

Retribution has Rahn, Cryx has Scaverous. I think there is at least one other out there.

Malice possession combo? Walk him over to my insert hvy and turn him around.

True true, I need to read up more faction books.

Doesn't the lock power attack mean you give up all your other initial attacks like most power attacks? Meaning you would have to spend focus to get any extra attacks.

yea. If you read the other post we explain why the OP's scenario won't work but give ways in which a similar result can be created.

Ok, gotcha. I was reading that as saying "Can't power attack (headbutt) but can swing with the other arm or head. I didn't put together the extra focus bit with that for some reason.
Thanks.
