Maybe help out with the lack of Rahn hype?

Just have to use Rahn in the right match ups. Issyria in Shadows is a huge middle finger to most of Warmachine, Rahn can take care of a ot of the problematic match ups.

My general goal is to try to get them all done, like Pokemon.

Pushing stuff away then dropping rough terrain on it is sexy.

I played Rahn into Ghost Fleet at a tournament earlier this year and lost horribly. However, I was playtesting Forges of War with a Helios. In retrospect, I think Rahn has more game with Hyperion (more anti-infantry and crit RFP). With double Battle Mages the list has enough magic attacks to annoy Incorporeal models.
I think Issyria is still better, mind you, all I am saying is that it is nothing like an auto-loss to play Rahn into Cryx.

Adeptis Rahn of House Shyeel would not be caught dead running such lopsided Vyre abominations...

Or that's what I think he would say, hehe. I like the fluff too much I guess.
