An eerie glow pulsates from the Slayer's furnace, a frightful light illuminating even its eye sockets, suggesting some greater intelligence. After decades of Cryxian terror along the coasts, any greenish lights - like those found floating in the bogs and fens of Immoren - are often called "Cryxlights" by superstitious travelers.

The Slayer got slightly cheaper, and its tusks gained Hard Head. Otherwise it's completely unchanged, and it fulfils the same role as it did in Mk2.
In Mk2 it was a decent jack but slightly unpopular since it was susceptible to having its arms shot off before it reached combat, and other in-faction jacks or infantry were nearly always a better investment for the points cost. It remains to be seen whether this is still the case in Mk3.
The Slayer is Simplicity incarnate - aim at the enemy, beat face. The Slayer is a cheap helljack to field, costing as much as other faction's light warjacks. The Slayer is capable of sneaky tricks and dirty tactics when combined with various casters, but it will always be known as a straight-up melee fighter when simple, honest brutality is called for. And when isn't brutality needed?
Consider that, just by itself, with no extra focus, you have a warljack that:
That's an incredible deal for the points cost!
The Death Claws are Open Fists, meaning the Slayer can make every possible power attack in the game (barring Colossal-only ones).

The Slayer is not a bad warjack as such, but it is a cheap warjack. As always when going with the cheap option you've got to sacrifice some performance, and in the case of the Slayer it's:
Another minor downside is the disparity in P+S between the Tusks and the Claws. If you go against a heavy target the Tusks will barely scratch the paint job, but if you go against a lighter target that the Tusks can damage then the Claws will be complete overkill.
