So doing what I do, and I was wondering if anyone has tried Crucible guard and Caine 3? I know for the most part people don't like Caine 3 mercs cause we don't have a jack as nice as say, a charger for him, but I was looking at the dragon's breath rocket... and combined with Calamity, that is a pretty heavy damage swing. I was thinking; Caine 3 +20 - Galleon 39 - Ace 12 - Reinholdt 4 Storm Troopers (max) 16 Dragon's Breath 6 Thorn Gunmages 9 Thorn Gunmages 9 Gibs (free) Ellish (free) I mean Caine is all about shooting the enemy off the board, and boy does this do it. With repo, the Dragon's breath will feel pretty speedy, and the stormtroopers can spend most their time aiming. Then add in Caine is going to pop feat, take 5 shots himself, lower the enemy armor and defence by 2, Ryan is gonna clear the way for shots, and then dragons breath will lower their armor by another two... That could mean (living the dream) five effective pow 18 from storm troopers, at least two pow 20's from galleon (boosted to boot), one pow 19 from Ace, and possible left overs from gun mages (which would be pow 20's) and possible harpoon from Galleon (which would be pow 22). Thoughts? Or has anyone else tried anything with Caine 3 and crucible yet? Just trying to start a think tank to see what's out there really! (and it's been kinda slow in forums lately so it'd be nice to have some list building convos )

I feel ridiculous for even saying it, but I actually think that you might want to swap out the TGM for the Devil dogs. More bodies + some jamming + knockdown. They give you something you can't get anywhere else in the list and give you at least some option to contest in melee.
Definitely has potential though.

Do you think they'd be cruel enough to make any new ranged jacks character to the pirate casters?
Oh and make it one of those wtf expensive kits on top of it lol

One of these days you'll wake up with 4 kids you've never seen before groaning at your jokes. Seriously though, I think it might be better than the same number of points for 6 more guns in an already gun heavy list.
