The new proposed iteration of Storm Divisions benefits (From today's CID dev talk) says:
If the changes sticks, what would have been the possible interactions?
The first that comes to mind is Haley3 buffing his DEF, but Haley3 doesn't particulary love Storm Division.
Anything else?

Any chance giving Acosta an extra 2 inch charge, as well as having upkeep removal tech in the army, might make constance some what of an option? Also with other changes to theme forces coming... it might allow her to take some other models she might like from mercs...

Wha...?
Stryker2 likes his new friend that makes three melee attacks with P+S 15 and 3d6 damage rolls(one is 4d6 because it would be a charge attack) on the feat turn. Maddox also able to buff the melee damage, but Stryker2's feat and Positive Charge would be the better combination.
DEF 17 is amazing for him so Haley3 is not so bad either. Toss him at the face of the enemy and force them to do nothing or attempt to attack him then only struck by his blade.
Well, with the removal of Steady he is somewhat expensive, but still he is a good solo missile that hit like a truck.

Giving him bullet dodger with Caine2 might be fun.

Giving him bullet dodger with Caine2 might be fun. But then you have to play Caine 2...

Giving him bullet dodger with Caine2 might be fun. As an Ossrum player, can confirm. It's actually ridiculously good. Acosta being friendly faction would be a significant benefit for a theme that had any access at all to raising his base defense and would probably get him into a lot more (read that: more than nearly zero!) cygnar lists. My preference would be Haley3 over C2, but still, any def bump at all would get the job done.

Jakes2 in Storm Division can give Savio Bullet Dodger. And access to positive charge buff. And Parry, which is also slightly huge assuming he lives that long. Well, shit. That level of synergy with he and she is not half bad.

Siege 2 gives Acosta a 3" Threat extension. Fury isn't bad on him, though it does lower defense so you need to be fairly careful with its application as the where it drops his defense to is in the zone of not hard to hit whatsoever. Still. If something positively needs to freakin' die... A Fury'd Charging Savio is a fairly scary thing with some threat extension.

True, although I'd imagine furying a cloud of stormblades would do more damage. But imagine if you got a feared assassination off. Threat 17"? Mat 9 Pow 16 weapon masters? Essentially he'd be little butcher.

It is sad that now he has to compete the one slot with Eilish so no one fields him. Even if Eilish is no longer the stupid auto include model through the game, various solos such as Rhupert Carvolo, Harrison Gibbs, Ragman, Alten Ashley and Lanyssa Ryssyl have the more advantage over him.

Jesus, hell of a proclamation. Not all lists are the same, not all styles are the same. I can see myself occasionally bringing Acosta
