This thread is bringing back a lot of the sarcasm from the old boards and I immensely appreciate it. It took 6 seconds for me to overthink this into a mental pretzel.

Yes, I did in large part mean you. No, it was not at all sarcastic. It's good to have you back adding a dose of snarky reality to the alarmist proceedings.

Came up with an ossrum irregulars list.
Ossrum wj 28
Drillersx3 30 Gunnerx7 42 Blasterx3 Artllery corpsx2 12 Eryiss 1 free Alten ashley free Kelli free Gorman free or orion free
Idea is 3 drillers for 13 inch threat and armor cracking. 7 gunners shooting boosted pow 12s. 3 Blasters to clear infantry/jammers/stealth. Eiryess for assasination. Her or gorman with snipe. 3 deadly shots and apply grievace wounds with alten. Gorman can use rust or black oil to diminish armor or blind targets. Torn between gorman or orin as electro leaps clear jammers could be good and arcane vortex shuts down blinding light for at least a turn. Cycle fire for effect between artillery corps.
Alternatively: Drop 1 driller, gorman, and blaster. Add idrians with ua. Great snipe target range 16 with prey and 3 inch repo. Yes please!!!
Or
Idrian build
Ossrum wj 28 Sylas free
Drillerx3 Gunnerx4 Idrians+ uax2 30 and 2xua free Eriyss 7 Artillery corpsx2 12

Could easily swap reinholt in i suppose. Ossrum doesn't need Sylys at all. Wasting either 4 points, or a free solo slot for a guy that basically just upkeeps a spell for free, is just a terrible bargain.

At this point, we're quibbling over which solos to put in, and that's really personal taste. My question is if you think the solos are worth losing repo on the Drillers and 2" of deployment? Not saying they're not, just curious what your experience has been.

Having access to mercs broad range of solos for free seems pretty legit. Eriyss, orion, reinholdt, kelli, bokurs etc are all great solos! I need to read up on jack marshall rules as flanking talons and buccaneers has potential. Also advance move on heavies for every unit you bring sounds comparable if not better than the 2 inch deployment. Idrians with snipe sound very dangerous!

Mercenary Army - 74 / 75 points [Theme] The Irregulars (Pre-release)
!!! You are using a pre-release theme.
(Ossrum 1) General Ossrum [+28] - Ghordson Basher [9] - Ghordson Driller [10] - Ghordson Driller [10] - Ghordson Driller [10] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator [0(4)] Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios [0(7)] Gobber Tinker [2] Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord [0(4)] Horgenhold Artillery Corps [6] Horgenhold Artillery Corps [6] Horgenhold Forge Guard (max) [16] Idrian Skirmishers (max) [15] - Idrian Skirmisher Chieftain & Guide [0(5)]
Thinking this for Ossrum in Irregulars. It has enough units that you can Advance Move a good number of jacks. You also get access to the power solos in the faction (though I only opted for one of them in this list mainly because I wanted Rhupert to give out Tough or Pathfinder to the infantry as needed). You also get to take a better mechanic than Thor. For what it's worth it only seems worth taking Irregulars if for some reason you don't want to play the Siege Crawler. If that's ever advisable remains to be seen.

I know it's a little off topic, but will we also be getting viva! The same time as irregulars?

Yes, from what I heard/recall PP said that they are dumping all of the theme lists at the same time. That being said, they are not putting all the theme forces into CID at the same time. So there could be some serious problems either in over power or under power within some themes for a while.
