The biggest change to the theme is that Gun Mage models gain Sniper. Everything else remained almost the same. Archons and Sam MacHorne models added.

"MacHorne models/units" basically confirms Sam2 for riot quest I'd say, which is interesting.

I want to try Ashlynn with ATGM, thorns, and trencher longgunners or vanilla trenchers. Sure it's probably not as good as rocketmen spam but it feels thematically fitting.

Having Snipe would probably be counter-productive at that point, one would think.

I played a game last night with caine3, atgm, gunponies, ace, and a blockader. Sniper on the ponies was nice with a 19 inch threat and eleaps meant chewing up infantry from far away. On the atgm it was similarly useful with snipe shots. I took the attachment just for minifeat and it worked out alright. Blockader is nuts under caine3 though, I got 4 sprays off at rat8 pow 17. But I think that was already discussed elsewhere.

I feel like sniper isn't enough to make it worth passing over the trenchers, the storm lances, or the CG options.

Yup, one unit of ATGM is more than enough, and the UA is not mandatory (although they are one of the few true sight options in LR). The main advantage ATGM have over thorns is the snipe+sniper combo, when combined with repo 3 from gibbs is awesome. Also they gel with Ashlynn due to thunderbolt and feat. However I'm not sure if it'd take ATGM + trencher infantry. That's just too much points tied up in low power attacks. Also StormLances aren't great without Arcane Shield and other support. I guess it could work if you go Jack heavy, which is now viable. Also I'm particularly fond of trencher longguners, since repo3 on them is pretty nice, and they are really good at mowing down heavy infantry/cavalry that are below arm 19. They also complement sniper -- after pinging damage on a jack, they can do a massive combine and choose the column. Unfortunately no easy access to grevious wounds in LR outside the Menite ARchon. |

"MacHorne models/units" basically confirms Sam2 for riot quest I'd say, which is interesting. We got her art a while back. "Sam MacHorne, the One-Woman Show." Swanky new man of war armor; probably 4" chain strike melee range on the rocket fists; we also know she's still a jack marshal.  |

She should have a rule: "vulnerable to sniper because I'm strapped without armor right in front of my robot: if this model is hit by an attack from a model with the sniper rule, immediately remove if from play" and "take it like a man: this model suffers an additional dice of damage for attacks made on its front arc" |
