Got a tournament next weekend, been wondering what to pair with my Haley 3 Storm Division list. I used to play Caine 3 a lot when he came out, but shelved him from SR17 dropped.
However with the new Trencher releases, he may again work in Heavy Metal.
Caine 3 - Squire (free) - Grenadier - Grenadier - Charger - Charger - Charger - Charger - Charger - Charger - Charger
Arlan (free) Trencher Lieutenant (free) - Minuteman
Trencher Combat Meks
Spending 5 points on the Meks means that you still have exactly 90 points of Warjacks, enough to get the 3 free solos. It is easiest to take 10 of the 9 point lights to get to 90 points, this means giving up the possibility of Ace and/or Lancer and any heavies, but this list is all about spam anyway.
The Meks can re-load the Grenadiers, while all of them remain dug-in. The Minuteman run bounce off with extended control, maybe head-butt or throw things, or pop it's flak field.
Arlan gives some repair but more importantly magic weapons. The Lieutenant is perfect for sitting on a flag, dug-in and camping a couple, maybe throw out a cheeky Rift if the enemy lacks pathfinder on their heavies.
It's not subtle, but should hopefully give people a headache in the match-up process |

Is this event in Bristol? (If so I'd be interested to see if I can attend.)
As for the list, I'm no fan of spam but Trencher combat mechanics are great (proxied them a couple of times) and when it crops up, the ability to auto-damage jacks with their sabotage action can be crippling to the opponent. (Can't repair it just damage from gremlin swarms.) Are you set on the trencher Lt for the 3rd solo or could you perhaps see putting someone like Harlan Versh (cause you can't take ragman) or Pendrake? Versh is a very capable solo with magic weapons, stealth and it's amazing how much damage he can do with purgation and calamity stacked together.

Harlan could be interesting, could then just stick the Minuteman on Caine. However I do like that the lieutenant can be set 18 immune to blast sitting on a flag, could always drop Arlan for Versh |

That's a bit more of a stretch but I need to get out more if I want to continue playing this game. (Locally it's just not a priority for anyone.)
I like Harlan Versh but it's often awkward trying to put him list (my dislike of themes doesn't help), however when he has hit the table he's generally been amusing. Not always good but usually fun. I would keep Arlan, I find him just too useful and he's also one of our harder to kill solos. Caine3 desperately wants the free focus he can provide too.

booooiiii that damage ought to be insane during feat turn, or even with just calamity up on the enemy.

From Caines Jack's you get, 6 x pow 16s, and 14 x pow 15s, I find on feat turn it is often easier to just allocate than trying to land Calamity |
