I was doing good. I was trying Cryx (out of theme) and winning games. I stepped away from mercs for the first time in abut a year, then I was on War room and I saw my girl, Connie B just staring me down. I played more than my fair share of Connie B in Mk2. She was like my guilty pleasure when i would get into my merc rotation. While her kit changed slightly, I feel she can still play.
Currently running:
Connie B
- Gallant - Namesake character jack is a house, and a SG
- Vanguard - Another solid SG
Orin Mindwinter - Get outta here enemy spells!
Rhupert - I like having pathfinder on a stick
Harlan - Fellow Marrowan for flank/accumulor/magical shotgun
Max Precursor Knights w/ UA - Flavorful and decent
Max Forgeguard
Max Forgeguard
Max SH Halbrediers - The fodder
Standard fare really. I tend to run more chaff and less business but since her new transference spell is for marrowans only the use is limited so id rather just bring more business on the front end. I will be runnign this list on Saturday for a local event (paired with Ossrum Bunny Ranch)

First of all good luck with your game. I am a huge fan of Connie but man, she only gave me a lot of issues.
Your list seems pretty solid but I always field the eliminators. Those girls are, usually, a big annoyance to your rival and only cost 5 points. And Eiryss 1 too. At least in my meta there are few lists with models who can remove her disruption.

played Connie in an event today. only played her once after i 2-1 dropped after not feeling it. I played he above list against Amon. His list was 2 sanctifier, 2 crusader, 4 dervish and support. I go first and jam and he does the same. turn 2 i continue the jamming and feat, putting some damage on a few dervishes and heavies. I think i either kill or cripple a dervish wit hammer dwarfs. On his turn he feats and goes for Connie, giving me 10 souls and a sanctifier in Connie;'s face but he could not beat the soul camp. I follow through with getting Gallant on Amon and I end it.
Interestingly enough Harlan Versh can use Radianc of Morrow on his gun.

My Connie B list:
Connie B
-Corbeau
-Gallant
-Mangler
Anastasia di Bray
Harlan
Rhupert
Gobber Tinker
Precursor Knights + UA
Precursor Knights + UA
Aiyana + Holt
Croe's Cutthroats
Yeah, Radiance works on Harlans gun and Gallants swings now. Sending a fully loaded Gallant into a buffed colossal after feat: 4 boosted ps20(with kiss) purgation, ignoring their buffs, is a great way to activate a jack.

I dig it. I'm looking at the second unit of PK's but it's not a rush unit for me. I'm happy with the force guard.

Not a Connie player myself, so feel free to disregard, but have you thought about bringing min Halberdiers + Nick instead of Max? I only ask because 6 tougher halbs + tough bubble usually gets more work done for me than 10 halbs, and with so many other warrior units benefiting from the tough bubble, it seems like it might work better.

Not really interested in tough on my cheap unit. They are meant to jam then die on feat turn to give Connie souls. Otherwise the Nick bubble is interesting for the support staff.

Tough bubble is only 3". If you've got your important stuff in it, you're just asking for an AOE. It's really sad when your feat gets primed by all your support dying to simultaneous damage.

Agreed. Aoes might be more prevalent now that infantry spam is becoming popular again.

I generally find that with proper placement, I'm not taking AoEs on Nick in the backfield (a little triangle in front of him gives him up to 3" of space from the nearest eligible target, while still keeping them in his bubble). Plus, he can drop back and give tough to the hammer dorfs so that Rhupert can throw out pathfinder or concealment. Just a thought, but I can see why AoE would be a concern when running that many warrior models.
