After the changes to theme forces, making list selection more open, I was wondering which Mercenaries, if any, you were considering taking.
For myself, I'm mostly going to be taking Idrians more often and might get some use out of Taryn.

Always loved Taryn and idrians.
I could see Eiriss1 getting used a bit more too.

I have been wondering if there's any circumstance where you'd take Saxon Orrik over Rhupert.
The only time I can really come up with is when you have a fast army or an advanced deploy army.

Now that they have prey, min croes seem like a great harassment tool to send up a flank.
Crosse and a swabber are also worth considering now for some spicy threat extension.

Funny, I've always asked that question the other way around. I need a model that can do work if I don't need support. |

A good point, but I find that when I do take Rhupert, I tend to have multiple units that he could support, and I tend to like the different types of support that he can offer.
Out of curiosity, which units do you find Orrik supports best?

Post-oblivion, I'm not sure. My most common use of him in Protectorate was when I wanted pathfinder access for hammer dwarves in FM, but now that theme lost the attendant priest. He'd already dropped back in use after Errants gained pathfinder back.
I'd imagine EI is the only place I'd take him nowadays, so maybe Cinerators/Bastions?
