I'm a very competitive player, it's what I love out of the game. But I am terrible at list creation without at least somewhere to start.
So was wondering if anyone had some good seige crawler tech or casters and lists to put one in? Be awesome to get some good mileage outta the model.

Quick try for one with Ossrum. Gunbunnies stay the core of the list, but you've got a huge base to hide behind since Ossrum likes to spend his stack on upkeeps & Unstoppable Force or swapping upkeeps. conflictchamber.com/#bm1bb_92929393939394947igm8M9egrMercenary Army - 75 / 75 points (Ossrum 1) General Ossrum [+28] - Grundback Blaster [6] - Grundback Blaster [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Grundback Gunner [6] - Ghordson Driller [10] - Ghordson Driller [10] - Reinholdt, Gobber Speculator [4] Hammerfall Siege Crawler [19] Lady Aiyana & Master Holt [8] Horgenhold Forge Guard (max) [16] Armory (Steamroller) [0] Other casters I'd advise: Durgen (feat, something to hide behind), Ashlynn (feat, Quicken, something to hide behind), Magnus1 (snipe, death ward), Caine3 (something to hide behind, Calamity)

I think Ossrum in theme is as good as it gets for the Siege Crawler right now.

I like the concept of running it out of theme so you can get lanyssa ryssyll (god I hate that name) to help extend the threat of a unit or two of hammer dorfs. With Ossrum letting them run through it, it creates a pretty well defended and decently mobile force of destruction.
That's got me thinking though, are there any ways to get ghostly or whatever the word that lets you walk through your own guys is in mercs?

I've played the Siege Crawler quite a bit. Unfortunately, I don't think it is competitive. It's fun, I like it, but I don't feel it's worth the points.

I think it could be a reasonable option with any Snipe caster. Definitely with Ossrum for Snipe, maybe FFE (better chance at Crit against a colossal. They HATE losing their initials) and his feat. It's certainly not overpowered but taking one isn't going to hamper you. Is it as strong as just taking MOAR gunbunnies for the points? Not really. But its got some decent firepower against Colossals and more staying power than Gunbunnies. So depending on your meta that can change how viable it is.

Crawler sees play in Khador. Doesnt really apply to us directly but just a PSA to let people know it is out there. Ive seen this at events:

Ghostly, flight and acrobatics are other effects that do the same thing. Otherwise Stannis, eliminators, PK+ua, and Shae's veil are the main things that come to mind.

I think only Ossrum and Durgen can really use the SC competitively.
I just compare the SC with the warjacks. Unbuffed, the SC is kind of meh/okay-ish, mostly due to it's inability to boost attack and damage.
Now with Ossrum and Durgen that's another story : Siege Crawler with FFE will provide better damage output than an FFE-Avalancher will ever do (just the first boosted AOE4 pow 15 is already more than what the Avalancher can do). With the same logic, on Durgen's feat turn, the Siege crawler has the damage output of a feated Earthbreaker, or more than 2 feated Avalanchers. And that's not even including shooting at other BE or colossals.

I meant other than Ossrum's Rhulic tactician. It would be interesting to see if there were a lot of other units that the siege crawler could "protect" and then have them dash through it when using a caster other than Ossrum. Eliminators is an interesting idea...

Soul Samurai, you're the Khadoran oppressor I hate the least.

Soul Samurai, you're the Khadoran liberator I like the most. Many thanks Komrade.
