Cygnar Character Jacks and themes

Agreed that Dynamo needs a change to fix the functionality of its gun. Personally I would be happy to see it get ROF 4, since that is essentially it seems to be designed around. I'd also like to see Dynamo given a revision to either drop the cost or improve threat range/durability. In the edition change Dynamo lost set defence and the value of Insulated frame became mostly moot since you are most likely to see Dynamo in Nemo Storm division lists where everything is already immune.

Brickhouse is too expensive, current cost is the same as a stormclad but in terms of damage output it isn't really any different from an ironclad with the same threat range due to the difference in SPD compared to the difference in melee range. Brickhouse has something of a conflicted purpose since as a melee beater it's meant to kill what it engages but force lock only pins stuff in place if it's with 2" of it. There are ways to get around the problem, Kraye gives it reposition and Jakes2 grants sprint, plus there are a couple of other interactions but a base rule like overtake would help a lot to make the jack more interesting and useful. Even with such a change I would probably want to see the cost go down to 16pts or about that.

Gallant I don't think needs any changes, I've used it before themes became a thing and that jack can do some amazing work. 17pts might be a bit high for a jack with nothing notably different from something like an ironclad but the buckler and DEF make it notably tougher to remover and stack well with buffs. Sacred ward is an easily undervalued but very powerful boon and the sword being magical and having purgation makes Gallant a lot more potent against stuff with upkeeps and hordes (because of animi).

Rowdy I want to like but in part the theme restriction hurts but also the cost. Rowdy doesn't feel as over-costed to me as Brickhouse but it's still a bit much to pay 50% more than an ironclad for basically an ironclad with bells and whistles on it. Despite that Rowdy's rules are solid and it's a nicely themed package where the bond is good without being either too much of the jacks value or irrelevant.

Thunderhead needs some love. I'm admittedly very, very bitter about the zapdos getting T'head's gun but on top of that the gargantuan makes far better use of it with an animus that buffs the damage and can get into melee with things and still use the gun to fry as many models as possible. I would really love it if Thunderhead got dual attack to allow him to perform similar tricks.
