The Invictors are, in my opinion, a good addition (I really like Invictors, which I believe are the best mixed-arms unit in the game), and the flanking threat of the MHAs and Dragoon give a strong incentive to opposing warcasters to stay in the middle of the table where the Strike Force can pick them to pieces. The Tier1 benefit allows the second MHSF Officer, obviously. I’ll have to try it out a few more times!Īs for Nick, he’s tweaked his Ravyn list somewhat to be a little better late game and hit a bit harder. If I had a spare point, I would swap the Cannon for two Trencher Master Gunners ina heartbeat (RAT11 aiming Grenadier? Yes please!), but as it is… I dunno. Trade off is that with Siege’s Feat, blast damage isn’t always a good thing (normally you don’t want to “waste” a Feat damage roll with a POW6 or POW7, especially if you can’t boost!).

That’s a lot of firepower that’s pretty difficult to remove at range (DEF17 on the Trenchers and DEF18 on the Grenadier, plus immunity to blast damage), and the Stormwall and drop Covering Fires if needed. But it is neat… the Trencher Cannon is lobbing a 15″ POW13 downfield (with boosted damage from the Objective) while dug in, its 2 spotters both have respectable POW11 rifles, and the Grenadier can be pumping out 3 14″ POW12s (or, alternatively, 10″ Thunderbolts or Crt Brutals), and all 4 of those are 3″ AoEs. This is a neat list… is it *good*? I don’t know. Objective: Boosted Damage on Light Artillery (“Ammo Dump”, I think) I’ve tried out some netdeck Siege lists and none of them have “fit” for me just yet… so I decided to add a few tweaks and make it a bit more my own.Īrcane Tempest Gun Mage Pistoleers (“ATGM”) Looking over Nick’s Kaelyssa Forcewall and Ravyn Tier lists, I decided that poor Haley might be able to handle 1 unit of Strike Force (with Feat, not totally unreasonable), but 2 full units? Tricky… extremely tricky… and Siege is a solid drop against either list. Assuming you’re a good player with those warcasters… which I am not. While there are other pairings (and many of them are extremely good), in the modern meta of Medium Based High ARM Infantry, it can be argued that none are as good as eHaley-Siege. I mean, Nick has a chart of how many MHSF are needed to kill warcasters as a function of their DEF/ARM… can Siege stand up to 22 boosted attack roll POW10s? Only one way to find out, folks… listen to the ‘cast!Īs I’ve mentioned, I’ve been getting more practice with Cygnar’s trademark “Big Guns”: eHaley and Siege. But will it be enough against the 2nd tankiest warcaster in Cygnar?

Basically an excuse to run 2 full units of MHSF with their incredible UA.
