Another perk ! not having a runebearer means you have 5 additional pts ( or a requisition pt) to spend on something else ( pyg tank, L&T ...)

@ Weezing yes there are places in HK to play. At least I know of a store near Mongkok and a gaming club near Kwai Fong, though in these days of virus it may not be the best times.
@ Aeronee the link doesn't seem to work. Can you re-send ?

Holdemhigh has awesome rules. I mean, AD, pathfinder, prowl, 4 x shots RNG 12 POW 12 with RAT 7 and different attack types... He will be an auto-take in hammerstrike and even maybe in Irregular.
Bamfist's force barrer has an interesting combo with Prime for Durgen. He is probably still better in SoF, but now in HS I can charge my primed FG all packed together in limited space now.

Hard to justify the theme ? you mean beside that it is the only theme that would allow Idrians and Kayazy ?

Keep a marshalled Toro behind frontline infantry for example Steelhead in Irregular. If a brave soul comes in melee with the halberdiers, the Toro countercharges with Mat 8 pow 18+4D6,

Just checking out what do you normally drop against skorne and how do you deal with their usual scary models (Siege Animantarax, ferox,...) ? I will go in tournament with a pair Ashlynn/Ossrum so probably I will take Ossrum versus Skorne, though I have no idea how to deal with a double turtle list

Monkey guns = OAC maybe?
As for primed nyss, why not. Whatever would kill them with prime, would also kill them without prime, prime just make them hit harder.
Sorry but durgen Feat doesn't bring anything to the TAC. Having 2 clouds and keep 1 TAC behind near the BE is the best I can come up though.

Yup, My point was IF you already have Lanyssa in the list, for whichever reason, which is not that uncommon. (you can do calculation of a full focus Nomad WITH lanyssa, it still does less damage than a marshalled Nomad also with lanyssa against high armor) Of course this is highly dependant on your list. Playing gorten in irregular, having an option for shield guard that couldn't care less to be disrupted, or a heavy with pf is competitive for me. And I always have Lanyssa with Gorten Anyway, my two cents are: it is worth looking at what options a Toro brings to a jack marshal, than just at what it does to a caster that already has access to manglers nomads, rovers,... (and yes I agree a mangler is better, and it reflects on its cost)

Doesn't make it a bad marshalled jack. If your list already has access to iron aggression or hunter Mark, a flanked marshalled jack should have more damage output than the same jack with 3focus. + shield guard or pf, why not take a JM jack?
Anyway, the point was countercharge at mat6 or mat8. Flank makes a big difference : one will miss, the other will hit and wipe half the damage grid of the other jack.

The Toro seems quite suitable as a marshalled jack. Yes Mangler is better but too expensive and quite risky to be handled by a solo. Shield guard with rutger or pf/repo with Meg are perfect for the Toro. And the flank bonus - even during counter charge- compensate its Mat6.

Yes it is like this for everybody I think. The best solution I came up is to have the rulebook pdf open in parallel on my phone. So when I want to check rules, I just change app

I feel like, besides MacBain, Magnus1 is the only that can have a good use of the Boomhowlers. With average def and arm, I would give them Blur or Death Ward according to the situation, followed by the Piper and we get a solid versatile line.
