What's the issue with Bart paired with Thexus? I was planning on that exact pairing but would like to know about any potential issues before making the purchase! I'm not who you were asking originally, but I'm also pairing Bart + Thexus, and I'm finding it to be a really solid pairing. The only real matchup I seem to have is Convergence, Iron Mother + ground pounder + feedback is just nasty for the pairing since there's no "good drop". Otherwise, I find that both lists in the pairing are great all comers with different skews. The armor + gun platform skew of Bart pairs well with the infantry heavy list of Thexus, and both have enough tools to balance out any bad matchups (say from 30/70 to 45/55). FWIW, the pairing that I've been running is: Mercenary Army - 75 / 75 points (Montador 1) Captain Bartolo Montador [+26] - Galleon [39] - Nomad [11] - Nomad [11] - Nomad [11] - Nomad [11] Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor [5] Dirty Meg [3] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt [8] Gobber Tinker [2] Mercenary Army - 74 / 75 points [Theme] Operating Theater (Thexus 1) Exulon Thexus [+29] - Wrecker [14] - Wrecker [14] - Subduer [11] Cephalyx Mind Bender & Drudges (min) [7] Cephalyx Mind Bender & Drudges (min) [7] Cephalyx Mind Slaver & Drudges (max) [12] Cephalyx Mind Slaver & Drudges (max) [12] Cephalyx Overlords [0] Croe's Cutthroats (max) [16] - Cephalyx Dominator [1] Cephalyx Agitator [3] Cephalyx Agitator [3] Cephalyx Agitator [3]

Ah, Kraye's one of the Cygnar casters that has been calling to me as a 3rd faction (the other being Sloan). I currently own Trolls and Mercs, but neither faction really has the strong gunline yo-yo shenanigans that Kraye offers.
How successful/competitive of a pairing does Kraye/Sloan actually turn out to be? I realize they've got very similar play styles, but I'm hoping that Kraye can bring a more diverse, melee oriented list to complement the all in shooting of Sloan.
Awesome write up, like the poster above me, I'm glad that you chose to write about one of the more underappreciated Cygnar casters. Every write up seems to be about the Haleys. Thanks for the awesome read!
