It's late and I'm bored... yar!

Just my experience, but spending 20 points on 5 bodies never seems to work out for me. I'd be looking at ways to get a bit more jam into your jamming force.

None of those provide worthwhile benefit to your list. Is ragman an option? He's the best support model the galleon has (far higher priority than dougal).

Other question: are the nomads intended to jam? Sea dogs aren't going to do that on their own (press gangers would be vastly preferable for that task anyway). If you have the models, talon offer far better boxes/point than nomads do (plus stall makes enemies focus inefficient, and is wicked on free strikes), and Galleon loves ignoring the melee def bonus on its harpoon shots (again via stall).

Xintas - OOOOOOOOOH! Got ya! yeah rock bottom and dougal are in it for the commodore, and I figured giving Rock bottom another target (other than the cannon) for his coins would make him more worth his points. Dougal for his mini feat which gets the galleon, holt, the cannon and the WA from the sea dogs to really nice ranges. Also Aiyana has the nice damage amplifier and magic weapons if needed.

gobber - Yeah, the only problem with press gangers is... no guns. Hence why I like the sea dogs for the black penny, range 14, can be boosted by the solos i'm bringing, guns. I know they're no where near as survivable (PGs have they're recursion AND natural tough which makes them better jammers i'm aware) but I've played a list similiar to this and although the few guns is AWESOME... there just inst enough of them . I guess the idea is the Sea Dogs hang back (letting the WA get as many shots as possible with help from Barts feat, and acting as bodies in the way (prferably with some kind of tough to help)) until the lines HAVE to close, then charge in. If they kill something, awesome, if all they do is allow for my rifles to get another go, just as good. The Nomads I guess are there to sweep in and kill what ever has been softened up by my shooting (from Holt, Cannon, Galleon, x3 WA, and possibly a few other shots depending).

ALL that being said, I do appreciate the feed back! After all it's getting me thinking. I just wish there was a cheaper / different shooty unit then the pirates :/.

Well I proxied the list (minus the solo so I guess I was three points under :/) and... I like the rifles. I mean I screwed up with them royally but I liked that I had the option had I used them right. I did find dougal not to really have much use (my opponent just ran everything into my normal range, and his army had relatively low Def any way), but I still feel like artillerist might come in handy when I'm staring down high def beasts. I also miss read Lord rock bottoms coins and found out they do not boost attack DAMAGE rolls, but just the attack rolls themselves... sooooooo that made me sad.

I like the idea of Bloody bradigan as hopefully that gives the pirates a little punch, course since it is a Galleon list, maybe repair would be better to keep around? Of course this also means I have to actually pick up meg and or bradigan... more money I was hoping to not spend :/ .

Over all the list feels good... buuuuut missing... something. and I unfortunately don't have points really to put that something in :/. Oh and while I do actually own Talons... the vast majority of my games (easy 75% or more) are against hordes... so stall really doesn't do it for me, and only having a pow 20/22 on one model leaves me pretty low on the pow scale, and I don't like that one bit...

bart list is a total disaster. cannon is stuck 3" off ur starting line or it won't shoot until turn 3. ur 9 sea dogs are dead by turn 3 leaving u with 2 nomads and a galleon to contest everything. best unit for bart out of theme is kayazy eliminators to score and contest zones. solos are ragman, orin and sylys only or u end up with solo bloat. cannon stays with shae and instead bart runs lots of lights to add more high arm bodies and boxes

he loses to fyanna2 oracles and ghoats fleet no matter what so i don't play him

you know the weird thing is... I've actually only lost one game with Bart, and only cause my opponent happened to get 14 on three dice... TWICE! Usually though I find he's a lot stronger than most realize, and they expect me to keep him way back and to not do much with him. However most times I play him (by himself) he's taken out a heavy, and usually close to two units worth of models. Lol probably just luck I know, but it happens quite often.

As for the "boogey man" lists I don't really deal with Ghost Fleet (not many warmachine players again) and I have yet to actually see a Fyanna list that scares me in any way (not with this list mind you as I've played it only once so far). Though the Sea Dogs were alive the whole game, and I forced my opponent to go for janky assassination or bust... which just happened to work out (as mentioned above).

I was wondering if Mr. Walls would be worth it... might have to give it a go! Also, I seem to mostly use the Galleon as a shooting platform... I think I've gotten the drag off once, and now everyone stays at least 12 inches away (plus his movement) with anything that can be dragged :/ That or they put tiny annoying crap in the way to prevent it...
