(phrasing, I know!)
So I was messing around, looking at the cheap hoard of sword knights and assorted stuff from some Bad Seeds leftovers and a local sale and was like "Firetruck it, let's do something with it:
Maybe a bit BG heavy for Stryker, and someone did point out I wasn't playing Khador anymore; going for a couple of Defenders (with the 1" reac mk3 gave them) would be just fine with Positive charge and the engry knights ready to flank actually hard targets. Lancer is currently in because I have no inspiration and PP made SK's FA2, maybe drop it for Strangeways, Gibbs and a couple of meks?
I know I am better off with the other cav in that other theme, but I didn't pick up a box of those for 20.
I also need to buy a bunch of warjacks and get the basics up and running first -money is finite-; alternatively I suppose I can drop this as a Heavy Metal list just fine; sword knights are cheap and can stand and die someplace useful/unjam important pieces (like everything else).
I'll need a pair of Stormclads I suppose (unless people are like "NO, Take Centurions for X reason!", I can see merit in a more counter-ounchy setup for the first list).
Stuff to decide:
-Dynamo is a given, if not with Nemo3, Caine3 adores him as well (if one dares to drop theme, which I would, with him)
-A Collossal kit, yes it is expensive but you Swans have two amazing collossals that while not as 'autoyes' as mk2 made Stormwall be, are still easily slottable into many lists.
-Actually go for Storm shit or be a snowflake and ignore it.
-Go for Trenchers instead?
-Maybe Jakes2 instead of Stryker2 for angry knight mob? Maddox could work 2x10 DEF13/15 ARM17 Tough/No KD units on the table (Piper + arcane shield), my Khador sense, however, is tingling that you don't simply win games by having a bunch of dudes with mildly obnoxious defensive stats.
So, suggestions?
(Current stuff I have -Swan stuff only, also have a healthy stock of mercs because Khador.
