Inspired by Sniper I've been thinking about running a LR list with Taryn, 2 units of Thorn gun mages, 2 units of ATGM + CAs.
I'll probably want Gibbs too but I cant figure out which caster and battlegroup to run.
Also which jacks would be good (if any) for the ATGM CA's to marshall?

Mules are cute to say the least, living the dream with Crit Dev and Thunderbolt triggering simultaneously sounds hilarious. If you want something more reliable, the Mariner is our best shooting heavy.
As for Warcasters: Ashlynn; Verteran Leader makes the gun mages even more accurate and feat lets them A: critfish for days, and B: High DEF units become extremely difficult to hit. You also want Anastasia, Eilish, Gibbs, one of the Gormans, and Ragman in the list, they are the standard Llaelese solo contingent.
Do tell me how it goes, I fully expect a list like this to fold into anything with dedicated blasts or sprays, but i do love gun mages so i want it to work somehow.

At the moment its all theory machine, but I want to try it into Gravediggers to kill all that Tough infantry, pinging the few jacks and magical attacks to kill the pesky Haley3s.

Bring stormsmith grenadiers. Give them +2 speed with Ashlynn (they will be immune to blast and def 17 against shooting). Toss a clustering grenade on a large base. Then toss a -2 speed grenade. Then critical devastation on all of em

I think ATGMs are better against trenchers and Haley3. They've got longer range (even without a buff), they ignore tough and their attacks are magical. They only thing the Stormsmiths have going for them seem to be their lower cost?
They might be interesting in a list with lots of AOE's though, but thats not going to be a gunmage list.
Maybe something like this, I bumped Gibbs to get the battlegroup to work, but I might bump a CA to get him back.

I wouldnt be too keen on the Vanguards, they are focus hogs and they don't hit that hard. You are better served with Toros, Nomads, Manglers and/or Mariners. Gibbs is probably the most important piece in any Resistance list, put him back in.

If you want to go full-gunmage your battlegroup needs to be: -Caine3 -Any warjacks with guns as long as you model them with coats and tricorner hats

Thorn Gun Mages dont wear tricorns, there's a bicorn? Yes, there is a bicorn. Famously worn by the Emperor Napoleon himself, as an example. Or is it the ones that naval officers are often seen in movies?
I prefer the tricorn to it myself, but then, I prefer more coverage of my head because of rain, glasses, sun, and a solar-sensitive balding head.
