I'm just going to put this out there, because a lot of people don't realise it:
In casual play, you should pretty much always be making lists that fit the level of competitiveness of everyone you play with. Experiment with different casters and try stuff out. If you see a top of turn 2 assassination, either point it out but don't take it or say you will roll it out, but then reset or let them move some models so that it wouldn't be possible.
No one gains anything from losing OR winning 10 mins into the game because of a misplaced model. If you're a seriously competitive player, then casual games should be about learning as much as possible.
---
Any way you already have some low tier models you could try playing with. Like the MoW Demo Corps and the Assault Commandos. You could try to make some lists to try and make them work. There is no harm in proxying either. Play some casters you don't own to see if you like them.

They don't often take it, but it's worth a shot.

Why are people not wanting to face your other lists? Are you bringing tournament lists and they are not? Or are they just bored? Pretty much, I've honed tournament lists and they haven't, as a result I'm mowing them down, just want something fun to play that isn't going to default win, but struggling to build one myself Ok, that's fair! I'm going to make a suggestion (and it's going to sound odd, but it's something I actually really enjoy myself): Let your opponents build the list! If you've got some kind of forum system, than put up a poll for casters, units, warjacks, and solos. The objective isn't to build the worst list they can, but more to build one they would like to face. I've done this a few times for leagues, where at each stage of point increase I'll put up a poll question with some options for everyone. I've also done it for local tournaments, where I will build the lists but I will have our group choose my caster pairing. I find it a fun challenge that can lead to silly games. We kind of have an advantage, as every caster we have is actually pretty good! Last tournament I did this, I got Zerkova 1 and Zerkova 2. I won the first game against Vlad1 rocket theme using z1, lost the second with z2 against heavy armour, and lost the third one with z1, I think on points.
