About Alexia. The wording says on Alexia: while this model is in formation, models in its unit cannot be targeted by spells. But Alexia is the Leader, isn't she always in formation? Even if she runs away from all her grunts, she's in formation, but they aren't. Right? If you attach murdoch. Awesome.

So gravediggers and SotT get mercs. Do we think any of our themes will not?

I would guess Heavy Metal will have access to a Merc solo and Battle Engine, and SD will have access to a unit. But we'll have to wait and see. I'd love to take Gastone1 with Haley2 in Storm Division, but the power combo might be a bit strong.

Note that you can bring up to two Mercenary units in the list - one by default, and one by bring them and adding Murdoch, by the ruling of the devs in the CID forum. They said that, if the theme force allows a Ranking Officer, you can play a Mercenary unit and attach that Ranking Officer, and it is seperated with one Mercenary unit slot provided by the theme force.
Also, unlike Storm Knights, they don't thirst for Pathfinder, nor they need for concealment or Tough, you can hire Sylys and possibly make up the gap of Squire, instead of hire Rhupert.

That looks sweet. Looking forward to palexia and ragman in my theme. Have been using palexia in H3 outside theme. Creating that free solo to run in to contest or score on a flag has been super good

Also, while adding Pathfinder to it is indeed great, the only real difference is that you would be able to play SD with more different casters, not a thing that I would define as bad or a balance problem at all.

Well, I'M not against giving SD access to Rhupert. I love that guy, and SD is the only theme I would really want him. I'm only saying that PP might not give SD access to Merc solos because of "design space" and balance. If Rhupert is allowed in theme, then Maddox loses some stock. We'll have to wait and see.

Tempted to take Sylys as the free solo with Kraye in Gravediggers, he can kinda act as a pseudo Squire, free upkeep, and extra range and reliability on Lock the Target

How about corbeau and parlay for your cryx drop ?
Most cryx seems to be all ghost fleet and dark host. Outside spells from casters they are all about warrior models. My casters seems to die all day against cryx.

Yes, i have siege as my cryx drop too. Around here cryx usually drop coven dark host into cygnar.
My usually strat is to feat with siege, and then shot electroleps into pods etc. usually they dont keep long enough back to also ignore pod or me shooting my own models. Normally i do reasonable amount of kills on feat turn. The problem is that siege is uasualle high enough up on table (because of feat, kill box and scenario) that he is in danger of the models i havent killed.

Yeah Coven is the Cygnar drop for sure, just the sight of Siege in your pair means that Ghost Fleet will not hit the table.

We could get a little silly and play Nemo1 in GD with the TAC as a pseudo-squire. 3 focus every turn after t1.
