3? I only see 1, arguably 2. Ashlynn is above average, but probably can't steal the crown of best from Ossrum/Damiano/Thexus. Gastonne looks strong, and time will tell if he is

Gastonne looks strong, and time will tell if he is I agree that Ashlynn isn't in the Triumvirate, however that won't matter in Champions. Very rarely have I seen ADR proved to be worth it in Masters (If nothing else from round 3+ people are usually to wiped to bother)

Very true. I don't play a lot in that format

At least 2 of our best, with 1 old favorite showing improvement and a promising new addition. There's definitely a lot to like. Irregulars Magnus seems to be the obvious first choice, but I'm not sure how well that pairs with Ossrum. Going to need to get some games in.

Irregulars Magnus seems to be the obvious first choice, but I'm not sure how well that pairs with Ossrum. Going to need to get some games in. Agree; in isolation Magnus2 irregulars and Ossrum irregulars are, in my opinion, the strongest lists when you have a 40 point sideboard. However I am not sure how well they will play together. I run both jack heavy, and both do similar things - fast, moderately high armour, designed to get an alpha, be durable through retaliation, and out-attrition while looking for scenario plays. Both have similar weaknesses (vulnerability to ranged assassination, relatively low volume of attacks). Both were also built to use specialists in the same way, to create flexibility in what jacks and free solos I include. I would welcome any ideas about how to differentiate, or if you think Ashlynn or Crosse make a better pairing for either Ossrum or Magnus. Including 10 man units is an option but it makes inserting modules in and out so much more difficult - often it is hard to get to the points for 4 free solos as a consequence. Current lists are:Ossrum Reinholdt Driller x2 Basher Gunner x5 Blaster x1 Eilish, Eiyriss1, Hutchuck, Kayazy Eliminators Aiyana and Holt Horgenhold Artillery Thorn Gun Mages Herne and Jonne Specialists Blaster x2, Alten, Kell, Lanyssa, Orin, Thor Magnus2 Mangler x2 Nomad x4 Eilish, Eiyriss1, Hutchuck, Kayazy eliminators x2 Aiyana and Holt Horgenhold Artillery Herne and Jonne Specialists: Freebooter, renegade, Orin, Lanyssa, Taryn

I think Gastonne will be a pretty strong contender in masters as he offers some very good assassination options.
