I wonder if there is any merit in bringing a double hyperion list into the dude swarm thats out there? Battle mages can run vanguard with support from magisters and artificers. This type of list would allow for great scenario control, and hopefully 2 critical consumes per turn to wipe out the spam. The 4xd3 pow 12 thresher cannon shots would be a bonus. The question remains, what caster would provide the best tools to make this type of list shine?

After some contemplating; I would have to say Ossyan would have been the best, but unfortunately he can't be taken in Forges....wtf. Thyron can, even though he is an Ellowuyr caster. So, I guess Rahn or Issyria have my vote.
Rahn because of the synergy with Mages, tool kit and enemy model movement shenanigans.
Issyria for her feat with critical consume, ancillary attack and blinding light.

Oh ya, I keep forgetting about her. She has been on the shelf so long. Open fire would be nice for more hyperion shots and her feat with veil of mists could open up some interesting assassination options. It will be nice to have her back on the roster!

On a hit does the Hyperion gun hit everything within 3" of a small base? That means you hit all their shield guards on the first shot...
