Howdy all,
I'm a former casual player from the Mk2 pre-battle engine era. Cygnar main who ended up inheriting/buying a bunch of mixed forces including Khador, Protectorate, Cryx, Trollbloods, Mercenaries and Skorne from my various buddies I used to play with. Now I'm in an area with an actual LGS and a community of players and I'm looking to jump back in to the game. Eventually I'd like to do something with all of the factions but I want to start out strong and focused on a single army and a duo of casters. I'm thinking something like Kraye because I like jack heavy lists and then either Stryker2 or Haley2. Everyone seems to rant and rave about Haley3 Gravediggers but as of this moment I don't own a single trencher or grenadier model so I'm a pretty big investment away from that and I'm not ready to spend that kind of money this early on.
So for now I've worked out this list which I would only need to make two smaller purchases to field. Since its only 35 points I'm sticking with Heavy Metal for the free solos. Stuck with one Centurion to be the beef and hold objectives, two Iron Clads to stay economical, already have a low model count due to warjack heavy list, might as well get two heavies for cheap to increase objective control potential. Hunter is a super mobile armor pierce gun, the Charger can clean up models knocked down by the Ironclads or try and put some boosted 12s on to enemy solos/warcasters. Strangeways provides a whole lot of utility to help things out with a spray, disruption removal and magic weapon so I opted for him instead of a Squire, though I think a case could be made for both.
Updated with some feedback:
(Kraye 1) Captain Jeremiah Kraye [+28]
- Centurion [17]
- Hunter [10]
- Ironclad [12]
- Ironclad [12]
Captain Arlan Strangewayes [0(4)]
Journeyman Warcaster [0(4)]
- Charger [9]
Field Mechaniks (min) [3]
