Mercs have an axe-cannon now? Also, why does he have only one axe-cannon when the plain axe has exactly the same stats as the axe-cannon axe? He should just be holding two axe-cannons. It just feels weird this way. Iunno, pirates were out of money to afford 2 axecannons per jack?

I feel like ambushing Press Gangers weren't being played because Talion wasn't. But they seem kind of sick. Ambush in, now the tough unit is bigger than when it started, in an inconvenient location, and has tough.
I guess the P+S mitigates that some, but if you can run Hawk (who now has sac pawn) up where you want them to be, now you've got P+S 9 weapon masters doing all the above as well? Seems solid. "I'm in yer base, makin yer dudez my dudez."

So I'm happy with the CID so far, but I still gotta say it... "we know it's a real Merc CID because another faction is getting a caster "

I really don't care for the pirate infantry, but Bart with three Mariners, three Powder Monkeys, and dirge seers at least sounds fun. And I want to try the Blockader with Magnus2 for 14-16" threat with and pushing models closer for the other jacks in the list. 4" melee also works really well with his feat xD.

What I really want is the Swabber to have shield guard. Right now, its in an oddly defensive spot with Girded and Lash, but it also wants to pull stuff into melee so your warcaster can punch it. Shield guard, point blank, and a bump to 14 or even 15 cost and I'm super happy.

Bart never paid him back....

I was just thinking: Swabber under Raluk? I guess that means you charge 8", drag something in from another 8" away, make the free attack, then make the charge attack? Does that work?

You wouldn't get the charge attack because the game checks for successful charge as soon as movement ends (before the assault shot), I know cuz over in cryx we tried the same thing with the reaper and aiakos2 =(

Oh well. You might as well just take a caster with a movement buff to advance 7" and shoot. Better to just use Gastonne0. To be honest I was looking at it from the perspective of running the Swabber in Khador. I agree that there seems to be very little reason to try it in Mercs.

The Talion theme is still pretty weak.
Rahera is a complete mess
Fiona looks amazing
Galleon and Blockader look good

Bart +26 -Galleon 35 -Freebooter 9 -Freebooter 9 -Freebooter 9 -Buccaneer 7 -Buccaneer 7 Aiyana and Holdt 8 Commodore 7 Dougal 4 Dirty Meg 3 Powder Monkey 2 Powder Monkey (free) Powder Monkey (free) Lord Rock Bottom (free) Colbie Sterling (free)
That's a list using what I have left of pirates, plus the powder monkeys (cause I love them, they're hilarious, so I'll probably pick them up) and honestly I think it won't do to bad. Magic weapons if I need them, I can remove stealth if needed, I get 3 drags a turn, a fully charged Galleon, enough focus to have bart camp if needed, repairs to keep my jacks up and running, and four free solos... Only down side? No sac pawn really... Either way I'll probably give it a swing!
