Returning Player - Starting with Cygnar

The first thing that I notice is that you're not playing in theme. You're mixing stormguard, trenchers, and models like Harlan who can show up in Heavy Metal. You may want to consider (at first, at least) specializing as you build up your force so that you have the option to play in theme. I've got a few suggestions depending on which you might like best:

If you decide to go Heavy Metal, I'd grab a hammersmith. It's great under Maddox's assail spell. Maybe also a Stormclad - it's fantastic with snipe, and is one of Cygnar's best jacks. I believe Maddox is a storm knight, so she'll give it a free focus if she's close enough.

If you decide to go Storm Divison, I'd suggest Stormlances first. They're fairly expensive as a unit, but they're very good. They only get better when you throw arcane shield on them. I'm also personally a fan of the stormblade infantry, although lots of people don't like them. They crack armor like weapon masters, even though they're not. If you do get them, the command attachment is a must.

If you go either Heavy Metal or Storm Division, a Storm Strider is a great choice, as it fits in either theme, and is a great model. I just got mine a few months ago, and it's in pretty much every one of my lists. Yeah - it's pricy. I guess that's why I didn't get one for the first 3 years I played.

If you go Gravediggers, I kind of don't have much advice. That's the one theme I own pretty much nothing for. Maxwell Finn, maybe?

Aside from that, the only glaring omission I see is a squire. That's another model I put in nearly every list. It gives you an extra 2" control area, which can be super-important for the area your feat covers, and it lets you re-roll missed spell attacks, which I've found to be indispensable when throwing around Stryker's earthquake for assassinations. Also, free focus ain't bad.

Arlan is also a boss.

It's hard to see in that photo, but there's something a little bit strange about the finish of the blue. Were you going for a sort of marbled finish?

Ah, I see. Cool. Perhaps a bit of chipped paint etc could complement the look.

How do you paint flesh? My own recipe is simple: Ryn Flesh or a darker flesh shade depending on desired ethnicity, followed by a wash of Ogryn Flesh. It can be a bit flat so I sometimes add a highlight, but often I don't bother. Darker skin is Doombull Brown washed with Devlan Mud then drybrushed with Doombull Brown again.
