I don’t even have the caster anymore, but I started thinking about lists and thought up something like
Irregulars
Mags 1
-Galleon
-Renegade
-Buccaneer
Dirty Meg (free)
-Freebooter
Colbie (free)
-Freebooter
Siege Crawler
TAC
TAC
Orin Midwinter (free)
Just thought it might have some weird game and I’d post it for a laugh. Lots of KD, benefit from all theme benefits, and decent Armor cracking. Slow though, and no real way to speed up, but can project fire power thanks to snipe and the such.

While I share Shoe's concern, I would typically have no qualms about running colbie to provide flank for her freebooter when it goes in, as it was likely to die anyway and on the off chance it survives an unmarshaled freebooter isn't the worst thing in the world (esp. with iron aggression to make the grab and smash go off)

Until the Galleon goes through CID I can't really see a reason to play it

u gots 2 freebooters with Flank [friendly warrior] and nothin to flank off'n cept orin, magnass and some dorfs... yeah, I admit it really wasn't my first choice, but we don't really have a whole lot of options for cheap infantry that's gonna make it into combat. Even the TAC it seems a little risky, but at least the siege crawler can help, magnus can use blur, and in cloud they go to 16/16 with recursion... so maybe a few will actually be around to get into melee. I thought about just using Halbs for the list (i no longer own any, but hey I don't own much from this list anymore so w/e) but when I played, I found they all just died usually before getting in. And after paying for the KD tech so the Freebooters can do their sudo weapon master thing, there wasn't a whole lot left. I guess press gangers might do the trick, as at least you keep the recursion bit, and are cheap. Also figure the battle engine gets rid of stealth, but maybe with press gangers you could get that 4th solo and use Reinholdt for that? |

I would replace the Siege Crawler with Devil Dogs and the TAC with...something. You need some units out there to do stuff. Halberdiers, perhaps?

First is they provide a rolling cloud to help block los with the siege crawler they get recursion provided you keep one back. They are a hard hitting p+s 13 unit, with rng 10 pow 13 aoe 3 magic fire attacks. Battle wizzard and flame burst on melee attacks. But they are slow and fairly easy targets |

a rolling cloud wall that goes 4" per turn leads straight to a turn 3 scenario loss.
it is pretty hard to screw up a magnus1 list but we are sure trying our darndest in dis thread
how about we do something dat makes teh sense
theme: teh regulars
magnass the traitor 1
renegade (arc scourge is important to be able to do sometimes) 10
4 nomasd (one gets def ward mebbe) 44
dirty ass meg 3
Freebooty 9 (iron agrassion goes hear)
2x Kayassy Eliminators 10 (dey are strong independent womens that don't need no man and help wid flank)
10 Indrymans with CA 20 (Snipe or blur on dem)
aiyana and also holt 8 (fix armor and gib magic)
ragman free (fix armor)
gorman free (fix arm and def and maek clouds. sometimes u snipe him)
eiryass1 free (snipe goes hear a lot)
lanassa ryssyl free (magnass has no threat extension and wants it)
74/57 because dats how it shakes out sometimes or dat renegade becomes nomad number 5 if u must
gots me a free charging flanking freebooty and 4 of my heavies gets advance move. yessir

Shoe, I appreciate your commitment to staying in character, but holy crap your posts are almost impossible to read.
For the OP: I recommend replacing the TAC because all your hitting power is coming from those Freebooters, and you need something to get out there and trigger Flank.
Whether P+S 14 +4d6 is actually sufficient to carry that list... I dunno.

I've been dabbling with a similar list. I think the general idea has game, but I don't think it's a Magnus1 list. The Magnus1 list I ran at WTC was similar to what Shoe posts. Since Magnus1 is a toolbox support caster, you need to ask yourself what his spells and abilities will support. I'm struggling to see how he supports the list you posted.
Anyhow, here's the jack marshaled freebooter list I've been dabbling in with Shae:
Irregulars
Shae
- Galleon
Dirty Meg
- Freebooter
Colbie Sterling
- Freebooter
Rutger Shaw
- Freebooter
Savio Montero Acosta
Hutchuk
Orin Midwinter
Commodore Cannon
Aiyana & Holt
Press Gangers, max
Shae gives all the Freebooters free charges, so they can get Crush from the marshals. Press Gangers jam and provide Flank to the jacks. Phantasm from Shae and Arcane Vortex from Orin keep the Galleon alive. Acosta with Storm Rager does stuff he really has no right doing. I'm not entirely sold on the Commodore Cannon in the list; it doesn't synergise with much the list, but my opponent's fear it and that makes them do stupid things on occasion.
Here's my Magnus1 list from WTC:
Irregulars
Magnus1
- Reinholdt
- Nomad x2
- Renegade
- Talon x3
Raluk Moorclaw
- Rover
Hutchuk
Kell Bailoch
Idrians, full with UA
Aiyana & Holt
Kayazy Eliminators x2
You can swap a Talon and Reinholdt for a third Nomad if you don't need the Stealth removal. I plan to swap Raluk for Meg because the list could use a jack with Pathfinder.

If we're swapping Magnus lists...
[Magnus 1] Magnus the Traitor [+30]
- Nomad [11]
- Nomad [11]
- Nomad [11]
- Renegade [10]
Anastasia di Bray [3]
Eilish Garrity, the Occultist [0(5)]
Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios [0(7)]
Gastone Crosse [0(4)]
- Mule [15]
Ragman [0(4)]
Horgenhold Artillery Corps [6]
Idrian Skirmishers (max) [15]
- Idrian Skirmisher Chieftain & Guide [5]
Kayazy Eliminators [5]
Kayazy Eliminators [5]
Lady Aiyana & Master Holt [8]
3 AM nomad's and Gastonne's gun & run mule which gets decent threat range and a ~72% crit chance (the threat of which is often more valuable than the actual result, but i wanted to get that mule off the shelf). If it does land the crit, the control effect helps enable the "hit and run" portion of the feat; stacks nicely with eiryss disruption or mags' arcantrik bolts. The rest of the list hits hard enough to not be terrible into armor (eilish upkeep stripping helps a lot). Debating trying a mariner instead of anastasia, though someday I'd love to combo the crit devastate and her espionage ability...
