Interesting, I thought about a double mangler as well since it would also let me drop Lanyssa. I don't own a unit of Lances but I do have the trenchers. Any reason for blythe or just a points filler?

Also the fist hand on the Manglers are 2 extra pow over the Nomads, and the chain weapon is a pseudo damage buff against models with shields and bucklers, that plus the extra attack due to aggressive and the difference in damage output can be pretty high. Also the Mangler is 1 higher def (important under Ashlynns feat), and is innately arm 19.
Blythe and Bull are there as I don't own another unit of Thorn Mages, but having a small unit to score zones is nice

Other than B&B, what else would you drop to add the Thorn Gun Mages?

I was considering light Cav units and was wondering if the Cygnar ponies might do well. Again it's just that I really don't want to go down another army rabbit hole. Why don't mercs have a decent Cav selection? I know that IRL cav unit upkeep can be expensive. You'd thing that someone would make a free lance company either from Cygnar or Khador. Back on point I don't really see how your list cracks much armor. Do you pair it with a cracking list or what do you do (say facing Karchev)? I have a pairing with this one that is either Fiona (She has 5 heavies in the list) or I am testing out a Magnus2 list with 6 heavies. My Ashlynn list isn't meant to crack armor in the traditional way. I have my cav and Daughters jam hard and get to places my opponent doesn't want them to be while under Ashlynn's feat. I use her as more of my infantry drop/scenario list and the other one for my armor/small model count drop. As for the other light cav, I think Blazers would actually be better with Gastone, but since I don't own them yet, I am not 100% sure about that statement yet. To answer the question, Why all the Cygnar love? I got rid of most of my Cygnar after MKII because I didn't have a home for it without the tier lists still around and the themes hadn't dropped yet. I already had been playing the Protectorate before MKII dropped so I had the models already. Matter of convenience more than anything.

Ashlynn is at a level at this point where you're not going to embarrass yourself putting her on the table. Your list is fine with ATGM, but honestly there are probably better choices (RE: Stormlances or Stormblades).
