Hi all,
New Mercs player here, new Warmachine player really but I've been running Circle since I started and I landed on Mercs for my WM faction because of the aesthetics of the non-Rhulic non-Cephalyx models, Privateers I guess?
Anyway, one problem I'm having with Mercs is the sheer amount of choice, to be clear this is a reason I wanted to start them, but at the starting point it is overwhelming, I want the variety and the choice I just don't yet know how to make sense of all of it. So, I've found someone local with a number of models for sale, I'm going to purchase a night lot of them, and I was hoping for all ya'lls help in deciding what to take off his hands. As a note, generally I prefer Jacks over infantry, melee over ranged, lots of shenanigans over straight forward gameplay.
Here's what the local player has:
Warcasters:
Constance blaze
Domino
McBane
eMagnus
pMagnus
Captain Bart
Fiona the black
Warjacks:
2X Mangler
3X Renegade
Galleon
Rover
3X mariners
4X Buccaneers
2X Freebooters
Units:
Max halberdiers
Max unit of rifles
Alexia and the Risen
10 press gangers
10 press gangers
15 boarding crew
Solos and Characters:
Walls
Doc
Bradigan
Gorman
Madelyn
Kayazy elims
Rockbottom
Dougle
Harlen versh
Saxon orrik
Rulec moorclaw
Dirty meg
Stains Brocker
Orgen Bokur
Bosun grogspar
So, here's what I'm considering taking off his hands;
Magnus 1
Magnus 2
Bartolo Montador
Galleon
1x Mangler
Rover
Meg
Gorman
Ogrun Bokur
Doc
Kayazy
I'm picking those because they seem the best Jack-related casters of the ones available, the Mangler and Rover are just good solid Jacks I'll need at some point, Meg is Jack support, Gorman is super useful, the Ogrun seems like a really effective melee solo, and Doc improves so many Merc units with his tough bonus.
Now, is there anything you see in the list of available models that you think is;
a) Super competitive and sees a lot of play at the high level
b) Super useful and sees a lot of play in a lot of or most Mercenaries lists
c) Is particularly useful for a guy who will be building mostly lists with multiple Jacks and who doesnt want to do infantry spammy lists.
Any other thoughts you have about what is available and what I should consider getting I welcome with earnestness. Thanks for any input ya'll can provide!!!
