Here's an oddball question:
What to do with my 2016 Journeyman League list for 65 and 75pts?
I'm in a slow grow Journeyman League that started back in august 2016. We're at 50 pts and will probably go to 65pts and themes within the next couple of months. We dont allow huge bases and we cap all FA at 2, so no gargantuans and no spam.
Normally I wouldnt ask for list optimizing advice in a JM league, as thats not really the point of JM, but the tiny meta has gotten serious with Rahn with Discordia, Nemo3 with Thunderhead and Stormlances, and Strakhov1 with a stealth Behemoth! I'm going with the nerfed Irregulars, as it'll be official well before the league closes.
Currently my list is: Ossrum Basher Driller Rockram Blaster x 2 Gunner x 2 Thor Avalancher
So far my tactics has been Ossrum and melee jacks up the center, bunnies pinging jacks or sniping out support or threatening warcasters, and the avalancher popping back and forth knocking stuff down or killing infantry.
Going into Irregulars Thor becomes free and I'm thinking Eiryss1 for my 2nd free solo.
What to do with the remaining 29 pts?
Eliminators x 2, basher, driller and free a Lanyssa? Gastone Cross with a Rover + ? Wrong Eye and snapjaw + ? Forgeguard + ?

So you’re over two years into your Journeyman League? That is definitely “slow grow”...!

Without the Battle Engine, I'd steer clear of forgeguard. They are great but they need either the Rhulic Theme or the BE to be great. I'd question how often you are seeing units, and if the answer is often at all, I'd definitely grab a couple units of the Horgenhold Artillery Corps. They are fantastic.
It also sounds like you are mostly having issues with Warmachine factions from your post. Sam Machorne and the Devil dogs with a marshalled "something" is a pretty solid answer to jacks, and keeps you spending points on units/jacks.

Kids, houses, jobs - life happened.
Its mostly warjacks, stormlances,threnchers and man o war being the exception.
I got mauled by Khador with assorted jacks and man o war today. Just too much arm to chew through.

I actually don't think so, since Forgeguard tear through armor pretty easily. It's just that you are committing to a package if you want the list to be competitive. It goes beyond the list building itself, its more like the list forces your into a Faustian bargain.
