I always start every mag1 list with 2 renegade. Those 20 points give you versatility and an incredible assassination vector. With 3 chances for knockdown between mags and his jacks, you can clear line of sight and take out a caster if an opponent is careless, and control their movements if they are not. After that, run what you like. Croes Cutthroats are pretty fun in his list, as they enjoy snipe and their innate repo keeping them out of harms way. The Mule doesnt see a ton of play, but he likes snipe as well, and the feat can get a pair of them up the board and into firing range pretty quickly.

I used to run 2 a decent amount of the time and usually ended up firing the shot into an infantry bubble. Still worthwhile, but now I really only ever need one of those and the renegade is worth much less after that shot is spent.

Magnus1 is the hill that I die on. He's basically my go-to competitive caster. Maybe I'm bad. His toolkit just gels really well with my playstyle, and a Rover frontline with Death Ward is just fantastic. I always get tons of mileage out of him, and I even run Boomies with him.

I feel like, besides MacBain, Magnus1 is the only that can have a good use of the Boomhowlers.
With average def and arm, I would give them Blur or Death Ward according to the situation, followed by the Piper and we get a solid versatile line.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but taking a lackluster unit and saying that it can be polished by an incredibly good upkeep and a solo doesn't do much for my confidence in the caster. Frankly, I'd rather take 20 halberdiers for 1 more point most of the time instead of Boomhowlers + Rhupert. |
